Musk is explainable. Tesla WAS going to fail, and that became inevitable long before the election. Musk was going to lose big whether Trump or Harris (or Biden) got elected. Granted, probably less dramatic and slower failure than what we see now, but it was always going to fall big. Musks' new design, the cybertruck is a disaster, and he would have been the first to know. BYD is eating Tesla's lunch ... and BYD is merely the first and currently highest profile of 10 Chinese companies coming out with electric cars.

And yet, I do think Musk is actually worse off in his current position than he would have been under Harris. Which shows, yet again, what a "great thinker" he is cough. He acted, because he's under threat, that makes sense, but his actions made his situation worse than it would have been had he done nothing.

Then again, in this market, I bet a lot of people feel like that.

Agreed that Musk would have been vastly better off with Harris, but I think his actions are purely reactive. It's not his fault that Harris lost. He's just trying to make lemonade, having seen early on that life was about to hand us all a lemon. For every normal person who refuses to buy a Tesla, he has to sell one to a MAGA cultist, and that is never going to happen.

The fact that his "lemonade" tastes suspiciously like pee is his fault, though.
