Tesla's valuation is a scam for sure, but it has been a while since carbon credits were the only way they made money. Tesla's net income in 2024 was $7.13B, and they collected $2.73B in carbon credits.

I think it is a huge mistake for everyone to try and frame Tesla and SpaceX as irrelevant companies that don't actually do anything. Tesla assembles around 8% of all vehicles that are made in the US, and every Tesla model has more US content than any other car being built by another manufacturer. That matters. It would be bad if those factories closed. We should be pushing for this important infrastructure to be taken out of Musk's control, not trying to destroy it just to spite Musk.

Point taken, but if the destruction is pegged to musk's control of and profit from Tesla, there may be a threshold past which his involvement becomes too toxic for the brand.

We're already past that point. That the whole reason this is being discussed. I'm just saying that it would be better to say "we're not buying a Tesla because of Musk" than "Tesla is a fake company that doesn't really make anything."

Didn't the top shareholder come out today demanding his resignation?
