"Go woke, go broke." Yeah, that was it. Massive celebration over business failures stemming from political positions. If you ever said "Go woke, go broke" and di a little happy jig, you really can't complain if people see Tesla collapsing and smile openly about it, right? The thing the MAGAs claim to hate most is hypocrisy, and wouldn't that just be hypocritical?

The real question is for Tesla shareholders: why does your CEO have a side gig and hobby that is causing your share price to crater? Doesn't this guy have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders that would require him to extricate himself from his political hobby that is causing you all so much damage and costing you all so much money?

From parading around on a stage with a chainsaw symbolic of their ripping apart the very fabric of all things great in this country as people are fired from jobs, research institutions suffer, families struggle...all in the name of so called "efficiency"???

Musk is the same guy who calls Social Security a ponzi scheme, and says that people who complain about not getting their monthly check are fraudsters.

The guy isn't living in the same reality the rest of us are in.

then it seems perfectly sensible to celebrate the decline in market value.

Furthermore, if the decline can be attributed to Musk's behavior in dismantling the government of the United States, then it should be celebrated as a fitting punishment for such behavior.

As of last June it was 1.6 million shares

Walz is on the pension board. Good to see he is taking a stand even though it would be quite costly to the state. Sometimes principal is more important than $$$$

as shareholder within corporate governance.

The case which was originally made for the investment may no longer be valid given the disrepute the founder has brought upon the company.

They have a fiduciary responsibility to retirees, so there are legal ramifications to consider.

If they truly expect it to plummet, I'm surprised they haven't sold it already. Depending on what they bought it at, they still may be ahead at the moment.

What an odd choice of words! Do you suppose this reflects a major motivator for this creep (triggering joy)? Does he think he is a buoyant font of "joy" for his bilious followers?

Or has he just forgotten to update his tune-list from the seasonal carols he is fond of?

A very weird schmuck, in any case.

He thinks he is God's gift to the world.
Brilliant, handsome, talented, can change the world by waving his hand.

He does not understand people think it is all bullshit and that he is evil to his core.
