It appears that losing the judicial contest in Wisconsin after pumping in quite a bit of cash, followed by having Teslas sales and profits "officially" plummeting (official means it was reported in an earning call), have caused everyone's favorite former illegal alien Elon Musk to pull back on trying to buy elections. The old adage about any press being good press doesn't actually lift sales, and since there was little aside from bad press on Mr. Musk, it was hard for any good reports on Tesla to surface. Of course, Mr. Musk amplifying the issues didn't quiet them down much. While I felt sorry for the individual car buyers who had their vehicles defaced, the showrooms I don't feel that bad about, because the showrooms managed to get Mr. Musk's attention, because those are company owned. It really is hard to feel sorry for him when he was so happy cutting grant money to starving children -- and he still wonders why people weren't happy about that. I do hope Tesla manages to prove they weren't stealing from the Canadian government, and I may be wrong but I thought somewhere I read they applied for rebates for more cars than they sold, but Tesla claims it didn't do anything wrong. Again, let's hope that is the case, because defrauding the Canadian government while they are currently upset with the United States over repeated 51st state comments can't possibly end well for Tesla.
