The #tesla market cap had been over us$1t for so long, now they can barely keep it at us$800b.
Yesterday it was us$774b
#marketcap = stock price x number of shares
#amazon and the other #broligarchs are so vile
I don't actually believe this report because I suspect all the smart speakers have been smart mic's all along, constantly recording people despite whatever agreements the company asserted.
Like, #tesla's surveillance tech has meant the company has been doing its own constant societal surveillance for years. Data says with the car, sure, but duhhhh I suspect corporate takes it too.
”…these days Musk calls for oil production to increase and downplays the threat of climate change, and drivers who want nothing to do with him or his company have plenty of other electric vehicles to choose from…”

”For years, Musk got away with treating his workers poorly, opposing their efforts at unionization, failing to improve vehicle build quality, and not delivering on promises like fully realized self-driving software, solar roof tiles, or battery-swap stations. … But that seems to finally have changed — and Tesla is feeling the consequences first because it’s most exposed to consumer pressure.”

”As Ludicrous author Ed Niedermeyer has long explained, Tesla has effectively survived this way for a long time: upping the stakes with fantastical promises…and making investors believe unimaginable returns were in their future.”

”The company’s long delay in getting out a mass-market, affordable model is in part because of Musk’s poor decisions… Tesla’s design team had a plan for a less expensive model, but Musk torpedoed it…”

”…Musk’s reputation isn’t Tesla’s only problem; his management is driving the company down too. …the company’s vehicle lineup has become stale and its designs are looking dated. …the Cybertruck, is a dud, and deliveries had to be paused…because trim pieces were flying off.”

”…Tesla sales are plummeting around the world. Germany is leading the retreat from the automaker… Sales have also fallen precipitously in France, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, and even Norway’s mature EV market.”
