    Not sure if it’s adequate to list Tesla next to the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq as if they were equally important for the economic situation of the country. Tesla historically skyrocketed and plummeted several times. It’s more a meme stock IMHO than a representative indicator of stability.

      Walz has been specifically mocking Tesla’s stock plummet these past few months. Hes not saying they are equally important, hes just using this to taunt Musk.

      A 1 day 10% drop is a gut punch worth mentioning. Being a meme stock means that the only thing holding it up is the idea that it will always go up. When the meme fades and it has to compete on fundamentals, a car company missing sales targets by 13% in one quarter ain’t gonna do it.

        Thanks for clarification. Still, looking at the Tesla chart similar upward/downward movements happed several times. It doesn’t appear that special to me for that stock.

        And yes, Tesla is not the same category of meme Stock as Gamestop. Still, compared to other stocks, the development of the share value is far less dependend on the operative success of the company. It feels more like a Musk stock that’s influenced by news and tweets around his person going back and forth between hype and desaster.

          It’s a little special. The CEO of GameStop didn’t turn every rational thinking person against him.

          The only people still supporting Elon cant afford his car. So they can buy the stock just to have the stock, but that wont be enough to save things for them.

          People will stop buying Teslas. If not anything else, they will stop buying Teslas because they are tired of buying new Windows.

            Did autocorrect capitalize “windows,” or does Windows 11 installation come with a free cybertruck now? They’re both essentially spyware, so I guess the pairing works.

      Tesla is 2.4% of the entire NASDAQ market cap and serves as a significant chunk of financial portfolios across the banking sector. Hugely influential company, even before you get into how it’s revenues prop up Starlink and Twitter.

      Changes in the Tesla price have big downstream impacts on bank liquidity, future demand for computer hardware, and pension performance. It quite literally moves markets.

    I wonder if rescinding telework agreements has boosted Minnesota’s economy? I still don’t get that decision and I don’t think any amount of tweet bangers anout Trump is going to improve that reality.

          You want everyone to treat you like fox News treats their viewers, that’s the kind of pandering campaign you want, but for your issues.

          This is politics, this is for adults because it matters.

          Shove your ‘oh what a bad campaign’ bullshit up your ass, everyone should be expected to vote for sanity, blaming politicians for not pandering is literally the problem that gave us WWE politics in the first place.

            The campaign absolutely sucked. I voted. Both can be true.

            Harris nationally basically threw the election when she said she wouldn’t have done anything differently than Biden. People wanted change, and she offered none.

                That we did. And I’m pretty sure it’s not the kind of change the people who voted for Trump wanted. But they wanted change, and only one of the candidates offered that.

                Harris and rhe DNC fumbled the ball hard. It was their election to win since they had the incumbent advantage, popular support for Jan 6 enforcement, and tons of lawsuits against Trump. All she needed to do was present a tangible plan for what her administration would change. Inflation was coming down (but prices obviously weren’t), the “economy” was tenuous, rates were high, etc. People wanted to know what she’d do, and her answer of “nothing different than Biden did” didn’t instill confidence. So she lost swing voters and didn’t motivate her base to turn out.

                She lost the election because she fumbled the campaign. She was winning for most of it, and lost in the last month. She needed a rallying cry, and she exuded “more of the same.” People suffering don’t want more of the same.

              You win politics by slowly moving the needle, making the other side unviable.

              Our mistake was not being zero tolerance for southern racism.

            Cause letting Trump into office DEFINITELY stopped the genocide.

            Tanking the US economy and obliterating our relationships with Europe, Asia, and Latin America has definitely put a damper on things.

            Getting Japan and Korea on board with a China war is pretty much off the table, now. We’re not going to have bases in Europe to project our power into Africa or the Middle East. That makes reinforcing Israel increasingly difficult, which exposes them to retaliation and threatens their ability to genocide Arabs in and around the Suez.

            This could be the beginning of the end of America’s genocidal occupation of the region.

            To be fair, both major candidates had essentially the same position on Israel and Gaza. If you were a single issue voter on Israel/Palestine, they’re equivalent.

            So supporting either major candidate has the same level of “genocide support.”

          The choices sucked. In 2020, my least favorite candidates were Trump on the GOP side and Harris and Biden (in that order) on the Dem side. Yet we got Biden/Harris vs Trump/Pence.

          But the choices have sucked for a while.

          I still voted, but that doesn’t change the fact that the candidates sucked.

      Lemmy is great in the sense that you can bock users, communities and even whole instances. If you want, you can even create your own instance and defederate from anybody you don’t like until you have your own tailor made echo chamber. I’m case you’re interested.

      Unfortunately, we have two Pro-Genocide parties in the United States and no allowed alternatives.

      You either throw your full, unequivocally support behind the better blood drenched imperialist atrocity machine or you must be implicitly endorsing the worse one.
