Morning Joe Explains It All For You

On Wednesday's edition of "Morning Joe," the co-host amusingly used Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" to frame his narrative and tell the panel, "Listen to these facts, I wrote them down ... Tesla sales down in the U.S. right? Last year, well, electric vehicle sales up in China. Tesla sales down 49 percent, while EV sales for the rest of the country up 85 percent. In Germany, Tesla sales down 76 percent, while EV sales in that country overall up 31 percent."

He then added, "His technology is not working. His driverless cars aren't working, the batteries are antiquated."
In short, his cars suck. In China, competitors make a cheaper car. In America and Europe they hate Elmo the Nazi and, as predicted, real car makers entered the car market (Tesla is a bad computer on wheels). Everyone is paying attention to Toyota’s solid state battery, while Musk is still trying to use cameras for his self-driving cars (everyone else is working with LiDAR). And as people watching SpaceX rockets blow up understand, Elmo is not an engineer (no shit, Sherlock!). And with him moving fast and breaking things in D.C., people are beginning to realize he’s just an idiot child, not even an idiot savant.
He continued, "But think about this: this guy's company has lost, Musk's company has lost close to $900 billion in market cap over the last three months. Tesla has always been a meme stock based, you know, as the feller said, the profit to earnings ratio is horribly skewed. One of the most horribly skewed profit to earnings ratios in like the history of Wall Street."
Because of Tesla, Elmo was supposed to be the next Steve Jobs. Instead, he was just the next Donald Trump.

  1. I swear he watched Total Recall and decided that not only did he want to get his ass to Mars, he wanted the whole show with Johnny Cab, neural manipulation, etc, rather than, say...working on making a high quality car with great safety features and maybe even advanced battery state of the art.
