at the #TeslaTakedown today, someone on foot (a passerby) told me he worked for a company suing the bejesus out of the admin - and so I asked who? Democracy Forward 🤩
He had not heard of MASTODON.
I corrected that.

I have, much to my dismay, learned enough about stock trading to explain how to bet against Tesla as an individual, with your own money. Doing this can put downward pressure on Tesla’s stock price and hurt the company. (And if, like me, you’re betting that Tesla is grossly overvalued and #TeslaTakedown will hit it hard, then this might actually make you money — but don’t count on that!)
I’ll share what I’ve learned in a thread here. I hope it helps others, and I hope people with actual expertise will correct me if I say anything wrong.

- Tesla Q1 profits down •71%• YoY
- Earnings per share of $0.27 lower than analyst expectations of $0.41
- Without carbon credits, company would have posted an operating loss
Bad as all that sounds for Tesla, keep in mind that this company regularly publishes falsified data. It hacked its odometers to push customers out of warranty. It wildly exagerrated Cybertruck orders. It almost certainly published fraudulent sales figures in Canada to get in on an expiring gov benefit.
I’m assuming this dismal quarterly earning report isn’t reality, but is the rosiest lie they could manage to sell to investors. The reality is probably even worse.

OK, from the replies, some useful tidbits:
- To end a Tesla lease early, you don’t have to pay the full amount remaining — only the balance •minus• the car’s current resale value.
- Cars depreciate, so you’ll lose some money. But…
- …if the used market is dropping fast, Tesla’s official resale value will probably lag behind reality. Thus breaking a lease actually •can• take money straight out of Tesla’s pockets.
- To maximize this strategy, people should break their leases •soon• and •simultaneously•. Coordinate a campaign!
Would still really, really, really like somebody with professional expertise to work all this out.

“For seven straight weeks, since Elon Musk went to Washington to join the Trump administration, shares in his automaker have declined, closing Friday at $270.48. It's the longest such losing streak for Tesla in its 15 years as a public company.” https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/03/07/tesla-shares-declined-every-week-since-elon-musk-went-to-washington.html #TeslaTakedown
If you witnessed anyone sabotaging or vandalizing Tesla vehicles or dealerships, an important thing to remember is no you fucking didn't and you don't know jack shit about jack shit. #TeslaTakedown
I can't get enough of this. #WompWomp

It is time to sell Tesla stock as quickly as possible. Board members are already doing that.

Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.
The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.
I wrote about speaking on the #TeslaTakedown livestream, how nice it is to not use X anymore, and a bit of Laura Loomer-inspired harassment https://micahflee.com/join-a-tesla-protest-this-saturday-as-part-of-the-global-day-of-action/
If you organize or participate in #TeslaTakeDown protests you may have gotten an email from @indivisibleteam about fashy “counterprotesters” showing up at these events! If you are new to protesting or organizing, this may be very alarming, but here are some things you can do to help keep everyone safe.
