 Elon has over 400,000,000 shares of Tesla stock and is the reason why he's that rich.

He has stock in it, but it falling won't ruin him. 

In spite of the hopeful people burning those cars, this money is nothing compared to his connections with Starlink. Dude's going to be juuuust fine. 

 I take it you're calling arsonists burning other people's property 'hopeful people' as a way to be annoying. 

No, they genuinely hope that said arson will hurt Elon's bottom line when instead, it hurt Tesla's shareholders. 

Back to what you said about TSLA stock not affecting Elon while it's the bulk of his wealth. Now you changed it to not ruining him.

Dude, his true interests are now in projects/companies like Grok, Starlink, and Palantir, and if somehow people found a way to shit on that he'd move onto the next corporate venture. 

This guy is used to jumping ship, like he did when he was a part of Paypal (which he wanted to call X.com). It actually took him leaving for the company to save themselves, and I suspect Tesla will be more of the same in that way. 

He could've lost X.com cause he bought it with borrowed money as the bank knows he's good for it, which he'd have to sell off some stocks during a pullback to pay for X, and if Elon sold over 40 billion worth of TSLA or even a quarter, he'd crash the stock itself along with panic sellers. 

He sold our information to Palantir already, and I'm sure he's got enough stock in it to be a shareholder. 

The guy's hard to pin down. 

People who are good with destroying what doesn't belong to them are dumb as fuck and will burn in hell. I'm pretty sure some liberals who drove Model 3's got vandalized as well, and some of them probably left the left. 

If having their cars vandalized was all it took to change their political affiliation, then they were never truly a part of it. 

It's about opinions, not what team you're a member of. Someone can still be a righty or a leftist without otherwise supporting what dumb things their lowest common denominator acts on. 

Much like when the right tried to distance themselves from Tea Party. 

I swear I can't see anything good on that end.  

Ultimately it doesn't hurt Elon in any meaningful way, and it hurts otherwise ordinary people. Burning these cars doesn't really fix anything.

Study of change in attitudes to violence and murder justification.  "How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence"

 Quote from the short article:  "The survey revealed several troubling trends. Over half of those who self-identified as left of center (56%) reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified."

This is interesting - says there's an emergence of "assassination culture" and acceptance of extreme violence emerging on the far left in the USA. Oh, the irony .....  It draws on the recent murder of a healthcare CEO by a demented justice warrior and the burning of Tesla dealerships. 

 This is what 10 years of calling someone a Nazi does. Weak minded individuals convinced they are victims by Leftist political propaganda. They live in a free country and they've been brain washed to think the USA is run by Nazi's.

 

FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!

The shareholders, but not Elon eh ? They don't care about shareholders and they were bullying Tesla owners. 

Elon is the largest shareholder of TSLA stock and its the bulk of his wealth. 

When this was going on earlier in the year, TSLA lost 800 billion of valuation and Elon fell a whopping 36%.

Sure Elon was still a billionaire and the vandalism from the left wasn't on a scale large enough to end Tesla granted most of the US now leans to the right. TSLA stock is doing well today and Elon is even richer, but let's not pretend Elon's wealth isn't linked to TSLA stock cause if it crashed to 0, Elon would be cooked.

Getting paid in stocks is better than money as the gains remain unrealized until the stock is sold. If I were in Elon's shoes I'd have 10 million in the bank that I cashed out and paid taxes for years ago.

X.com, xAi, SpaceX, Starlink. Palantir was a brief collaboration.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

Correction. Elon Musk founded X.com, which was an online banking system. It merged with Confinity and X.com was rebranded to PayPal. There was a power struggle within the board of directors and Elon ended up getting fired.

So no, this guy isn't used to jumping ship. He's a very hard worker.  

 

He could've lost X.com cause he bought it with borrowed money as the bank knows he's good for it, which he'd have to sell off some stocks during a pullback to pay for X, and if Elon sold over 40 billion worth of TSLA or even a quarter, he'd crash the stock itself along with panic sellers.

lol No he didn't.

For many yes. The news is reporting a bunch of clowns vandalizing Teslas, then someone goes outside and their Model X is all fucked up, very expensive to fix if it even can be, and insurance premium will go up if used. Oh yes people will be pissed. When it happens, people will not align themselves with a bunch of dummies, while the left wing policy can't even hold a candle to right wing policies. And yes you can still be a faggot on the right.

That's how everyone on the right does it.

 The Bulk of Elon's wealth is in TSLA stocks. He gets paid in stocks, and probably doesn't keep much in his bank accounts as cashing out will equate to astronomicals taxes from money he will never be able to spend. While the shitshow is over, shit like that does hurt Elon in meaningful ways. 

Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink are very important. In my opinion, Grok is dope.

 The glorification of victimhood, and turning it into a virtue -  I think social media along with woke ideology has nurtured that over the last 10 years or so. Nazi is a very charged label to apply to someone, but a lot of them would melt down even if you just called them snowflake!
