doesnt kanye know that being a nazi is bad for business? is he stupid?

Is it bad for business these days? Tesla still worth a shit tone of money and he fucking saluted on national television.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Look at what's happening to Tesla sales in Europe.

Outside the States, yes it very much is.

Sales don't matter to him, stock price does, and its going up.

What do you think drives the stock price?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Tesla is valued more than every other car company combined, but they sell a fraction of vehicles. You tell me what drives the stock price, it's sure as shit not sales.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No they're not, Tesla has a market cap of 1.13 trillion, and don't just make vehicles, BYD alone is worth 776 billion. Toyota is around 250 billion.

They're big, but not "half the automotive industry" big.

"Nooo! He's just bipolar!" Some may say, but he's actually really stupid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is in no way a defence of his actions, but he definitely has mental health issues.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Likely internalized bigotry too. Considering when we hear about his mental health falling off it's always in this context of him claiming to be a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I heard that when he would start to talk to Kim he would start singing halfway through the convo. That reminds my of my one friend whose suffering from schizophrenia.

iaHt hes not just stupid hes a really bad business man

nazis have historically known to be bad at business

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Well, the two are not exclusive as well.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Apparently he got a second diagnosis and he's not bipolar but on the spectrum, according to himself.

Probably figured that was a better cover for being a nazi, after Elon's Sieg Heil

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Getting pretty tired of shithead Nazis claiming they’re autistic. Autism doesn’t make you a Nazi

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

So now he's just a stupid and slightly bipolar Nazi? Is that an "improvement" in his book?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

being a nazi is bad for business

I'm sorry, but have you seen the world lately? What on earth has led you to believe this? Nazism is in its highest demand ever, so much so that even some Jews are onboard and are giving Trump literal golden gifts to celebrate ethnic cleansing. The richest man in history just proudly threw up a nazi salute for the world to see as he became the defacto POTUS.

The soul-crushing truth is that being a nazi is the best business decision one can make right now. I hate it, and I wish something could be done about it.

iabt my mistake i was using outdated sources

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is... This is what worries you about this?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

For far too many people, the decision whether to cooperate with Nazis depends on profits to be had.

It was true of IBM in the 1940s, and it's true today.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

i can criticize two things at once hes a really bad guy and a really bad business guy too
