In a shocking turn of events, a viral image has emerged, shedding light on the recent layoffs at Tesla. The image, which features a blurred background with bold text, accuses Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, of making a questionable business decision. The text boldly states, "Elon Musk is laying off 10% of Tesla's workforce because nobody in their right mind wants to buy an ugly overpriced death trap from a greedy gaslighting fascist mutant."

The image has sparked a heated debate online, with users voicing their opinions on Tesla's products and the CEO's character. One user commented, "The rest of the luxury market has caught up, and they've been building cars for a century. Now there are also choices in more affordable EVs, and Tesla isn't one of them." This sentiment was echoed by another user who expressed concerns about the fit and finish of Tesla cars, stating, "It blows my mind that anyone would buy one - fit and finish is still horribly inconsistent."

However, amidst the criticism, there were some who shared positive experiences with Tesla vehicles. A user shared, "I can separate my opinions on Musk and Tesla, and I'll be honest, not much of a Musk fan at all, but I have a 2021 Model 3, and it's probably the best car I've ever owned." Another user praised the safety of non-Cybertruck Tesla models, stating, "I am pretty sure non-Cybertruck Tesla models are some of the safest cars you can buy."

The controversy surrounding Elon Musk and Tesla goes beyond the product itself. Several users expressed their dissatisfaction with Musk's behavior and management style. One user called for a shareholder revolt, stating, "What Tesla needs is a shareholder revolt, which might let them hire a CEO who can fix all the problems with the cars rather than attack owners who admit that there are problems." Another user criticized Musk's focus on divisive issues, commenting, "It probably doesn't work out too well that even though he knows it's a sharply divided country, and the US makes up most of his market, he decided to spend all his time trying to 'own the libs' and 'defeat wokeism.'"

While the image and its accompanying text convey a strong negative sentiment towards Tesla and its CEO, it is important to note that there are differing opinions among consumers. Despite the controversy, Tesla continues to be a prominent player in the electric vehicle industry, with its innovative technology and dedicated fan base.

As the debate rages on, only time will tell how Tesla will navigate through these challenges and whether they can maintain their position as a leading force in the automotive industry. One thing is for certain, this viral image has reignited the conversation surrounding Tesla, its products, and the leadership of Elon Musk.

It blows my mind that anyone would buy one - fit and finish is still horribly inconsistent, getting replacement parts is you're in an accident is a nightmare, and on certain models, if the power fails - for any reason - it is impossible to open the doors.

Fun fact: By 1972 Ford had sold more than 800,000 Pintos.

How owns around 40% of the stock, but has enough shills holding other shares to give him total control. What Tesla needs is a shareholder revolt, which might let them hire a CEO who can fix all the problems with the cars rather than attack owners who admit that there are problems.

I try not to judge Tesla drivers for putting money into a company run by someone who torp***es his own interests all the time. I try not to, but I fail often.

I can separate my opinions on musk and Tesla and I'll be honest, not much of a musk fan at all but I have a 2021 model 3 and it's probably the best car I've ever owned. 100,000km and all its needed is new wipers and tires. It's feels like a rocket and handles nice on the west coast roads while cruising.

I used to work in software dev as a programmer, and I've met Tesla programmers. Everything I've heard is exactly what anyone who remembers the 90's would expect from "cars created by software devs working for a tech bro". Frankly, Tesla's lucky they haven't had far bigger disasters.

Musk: "Immigrants are putting Americans out of work!" *fires everyone* "SEE?"

Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The piece of c*** called a CyberTruck did it for me and that's WITHOUT Elon's antics. His antics are merely another coffin nail.

I would be 10% MORE likely to buy a car built by a mutant...
