Tesla Stocks in Free Fall: Can Elongated Muskrat Save His Sinking Ship?
Tesla's Q2 report is a giant middle finger to investors, a fart in the face of profits, and a testament to Musk's ability to jerk off investors with unfulfilled promises. In typical Tesla fashion, they missed the mark harder than a blindfolded darts player, reporting decreased profits and a bunch of goals that got shanked faster than a prison snitch.

Elon Musk’s Tesla stock crashes 11% after latest earnings report, and it’s definitely all the fault of those useless women and those stupid liberals
Elon Musk’s Tesla, the Austin-based tech giant and the world's most overrated car brand, saw its stock take a much-deserved dump on Wednesday morning, dropping a whopping 11% at the time of writing. This follows the release of their Q2 report, which revealed a disappointing decline in profits and a string of missed goals.
Why the big drop?
Well, it seems that even with their inflated revenue of $25.05 billion in Q2, Tesla's adjusted profits took a hit, with $0.52 generated against an expected $0.60. This translates to a 40% decrease in profits, which is probably why their stock has been on a wild rollercoaster ride all year, much like the emotional rollercoaster women put men on every single day.
So, is Tesla doomed?
Look, falling profits might be a bad sign for most companies, but for Tesla, it could just mean they're pivoting away from cars to focus on their AI dreams. Musk has been rambling on X, his new social media platform (formerly Twitter), about how Tesla is going to conquer the AI space with his whimsical ideas, including a "Tesla Bot" and a "Robotaxi." Because when you’re a cult leader, everyone worships your inappropriate thoughts no matter how frivolous they may be.
There's also the fact that Tesla managed to surpass a Bloomberg production estimate, delivering 443,956 vehicles globally. They've addressed concerns about production, which had previously given an edge to competitors like China's BYD, and they plan to introduce more affordable options to lure in more suckers.
In their Q2 report, Tesla said:
"Plans for new vehicles, including more affordable models, remain on track for start of production in the first half of 2025. These vehicles will utilize aspects of the next-generation platform as well as aspects of our current platforms and will be able to be produced on the same manufacturing lines as our current vehicle line-up."
So, is Tesla down and out? Not likely. But it's fun to watch them squirm while they figure out their next move, especially when Musk has a history of exaggerated promises and failed deadlines.
