Tesla's value plunged nearly $200 billion since mid-July – and the EV maker faces a bumpy road ahead::Tesla shares closed Tuesday at just over $233, well down on their 2023 peak of $291.

This is a very reasonable comment, and yet it's downvoted heavily.

What Tesla achieved is good, and will have a place in the history of EVs. Musk being a fucking idiot doesn't change that, it just makes it more obvious that none of the success is due to him he just happens to own the company.

Honestly, tesla would probably do better to fucking fire Musk as CEO. He holds less than 13% of the shares according to a 10-second Google search, so it doesn't seem like he has unassailable control of the company.

If I were any of the other large shareholders I'd be fighting like hell to get a better CEO. Musk has switched from asset to liability.

same, my hope is they'll turf him soon and people can less obliged to hate on Tesla again.

thank you for restoring my faith in humans. I really didn't understand the downvotes tbh.
