If you are a car insurer.....are you contemplating halting all insurance of a "car" that has now been turned into a hated political statement?
If you are a Tesla stockholder who realizes that the entire value of the brand is "Elon," and the odds of Elon being assassinated keep shooting up.....are you unloading that stock?
Indeed, there are only two things that can happen with Elon, and both of them are bad for Tesla at anything close to its current stock price: Elon keeps on keeping on, further tanking the price. OR....Elon dies, thus taking away the only thing that makes Tesla unique and thus valuable.
But....have no fear. The US government will 100% bail him out. All future vehicle contracts will mandate "Teslas only." The US government will reward Tesla with government contracts to....manufacture typewriters or some shit, it doesn't matter what it is, it just matters that the checks are cashed by Elon. The US government will buy Tesla stock to prop up the price. ETC.
It's a full-on kleptocracy, and Elon is leading the charge, while claiming he's saving us a shitload by changing the brand of coffee the government buys. And the idiots eat it up.
