Tesla Stock in Europe Crashes Harder Than Your Uncle’s Crypto Portfolio

Tesla’s stock in Europe just dropped faster than a Cybertruck’s panel in a wind tunnel, plunging a shocking 49% in sales across the continent. Yes, that’s right, while European EV sales were busy vibing up 28%, Tesla was doing the financial equivalent of rage-quitting.

Europe: “Elon Saulted What Now?”

The tumble comes amid growing fallout from Elon Musk’s personality, which has officially entered the “brand liability” phase of its hero arc. Sources confirm that Musk’s latest political hot takes are so radioactive they’re being stored next to French nuclear waste.

Europeans, it turns out, weren’t thrilled when Musk flirted with Germany’s far-right, and now they’re giving his cars the kind of cold shoulder normally reserved for British tourists in Barcelona.

In Berlin, locals are allegedly keying Teslas not out of anger, but out of artistic expression. One was seen engraved with the phrase: “Ich bin kein Fan von X.”

Model Y Becomes Model “Why?”

Meanwhile, Tesla’s Model Y is reportedly still Tesla’s top-selling model in Europe, which is kind of like being the best player on a losing fantasy football team. The new “refresh” version of the car hit the market like a soggy bratwurst: technically there, but nobody’s excited.

Competitors like BYD are cruising by in cheap EVs like the “Dolphin Surf” (which sounds like a Nintendo character but costs less than Elon’s daily caffeine intake). The Dolphin’s starting price of €19,999 means you can now buy two Chinese EVs for the price of a Model 3 and still have change for a baguette.

Tesla’s European Stock Chart Resembles a Ski Slope

Wall Street analysts tried to put a brave face on things, but one was seen whispering, “We were promised Mars” while sadly scrolling through a BYD brochure. Tesla’s share of the European car market is now 0.7%, which ironically is lower than Dogecoin’s chance of replacing the Euro.

Scott Galloway even called the Musk era one of the “greatest brand destructions in history,” which is professor-speak for “bro, what are you doing?”

Europe is sending Elon a message loud and clear and it’s not written in Morse code. It’s written in plummeting sales figures.

Stay tuned. Stay memed.

US Economy ‘Out Of UNO Reverse Cards’ Following Trump Tariff Block

The United States economy has officially run out of UNO Reverse Cards, according to a leaked Federal Reserve memo released early this morning. This comes just hours after the US trade court blocked the sweeping tariffs of one, President Trump, saying that he had ‘exceeded his authority’ as Ultimate Emperor of all the Universe.

This comes as a blow to Trump, who had his next five decades of 5-dimensional chess moves planned out. But as the ruling represents a reversal of a reversal of a reversal of a reversal on the tariffs, many economists are saying that reserves of reverses are now at a critical low point.

“For years, we’ve been able to respond to every global economic slap with a hearty ‘NO U,’” explained Fed Chair Jerome Powell while nervously flipping through an empty deck of colorful cards. “But now, we’re all out of reverses, skips, and we accidentally played our last Draw Four on Canada.”

Tarot Cards Not Working Either

The crisis deepened after the Department of Commerce attempted to reverse the tariff block by tweeting “+2 China, your move.” Unfortunately, China responded by slamming down a counterfeit Wild Card and banning all imports of American-made cars, movies, oil, steel, jeans, whiskey, ideas, memes, and problematic Alpha-Male influencers.

In response, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held an emergency press conference, where he proposed introducing a new economic stimulus package consisting entirely of Monopoly money and unopened Pokémon booster packs.

“At this point, they’re both less volatile than the dollar,” he admitted while aggressively bubble-wrapping a holographic Charizard for national reserves.

Trump, ‘Keeping Cards Far From Chest’

President Trump, reached for comment at his self-declared “Oval Office” in the Mar-a-Lago breakfast buffet line, defended the move. “I play 8D chess, 4D UNO, and 2D checkers. These tariffs are tremendous. China’s been playing Draw Two for years. Well, now they’re gonna draw these hands,” he declared while attempting to trade a pancake for stock in GameStop.

When asked whether he had considered the economic fallout, Trump responded, “Look, if the economy needs more cards, I’ll print them myself. Executive Order: every American gets one Reverse Card. Boom. Solved.”

As of press time, the U.S. economy is still floundering to come up with a strategy now that it can no longer UNO-reverse its way out of global economic disputes. The Fed is reportedly considering borrowing cards from Canada, but negotiations stalled after Canada requested a formal apology, which we’re obviously not going to do.

Trump Tried This One Simple Trick To Improve America’s Credit Score!

… And it didn’t work! The ratings firm Moody’s has just downgraded the US’s credit rating from AAA to Aa1 (which is worse apparently… even though it looks better imo).

As a result, the dollar has slid (again) and longer-dated treasury yields rose 5%… whatever that means. Don’t look at me, I’m a letters guy, not a numbers guy.

Markets reacted exactly how you’d expect: with complete and utter confusion. The Dow dipped slightly before bouncing back, like a toddler who fell down and forgot why they were crying. Bitcoin spiked for absolutely no reason (as usual), and someone on CNBC tried to explain the bond market using a whiteboard and a metaphor involving avocado toast.

Moody’s In A Bad Mood With Trump

Mr. Moody himself released a statement saying that this downgrade, “Reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.” But clearly this bitch ain’t never heard of ‘you’ve gotta spend money to make money’.

Economists warn that the downgrade could raise borrowing costs for the government, which sounds bad, though to be fair, the government borrows money the way college students do: with zero intention of ever paying it back.

Naturally, Trump defaulted to his tried and true method: blame Biden. Taking to the political equivalent of yelling into a mirror (Truth Social), Trump posted, “AMERICA’S CREDIT SCORE WAS PERFECT UNDER ME!!! BIDEN RUINED EVERYTHING. SAD!!!”

The White House replied to the news, saying, “If Moody’s had any credibility, they would not have stayed silent as the fiscal disaster of the past four years unfolded.” So true. I, for one, had never heard of Moody’s until this very moment.

Big, Beautiful Bust

This awkward news follows Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill getting shot down on Friday by none other than five of Trump’s own Republicans. Mega awks.

The proposed bill would have cut taxes by $3.72 trillion over ten years, cut Medicaid spending and cut tax on tips. Dissenting Republicans felt the cuts did not go far enough whereas Democrats said the cuts went too far. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Republicans have vowed to bring back a “better, more Trumpy” version of the budget, including bigger, more beautiful tax cuts, military spending increases, and a line item for “Space Force Merch.” Democrats responded with their own proposal: “No.”

Still, Trump remains undeterred. When asked what his next move would be to fix the economy, he answered confidently: “We’re looking into NFTs. Very classy ones. George Washington in a MAGA hat. Tremendous value.”

Stay tuned, folks. America’s credit might be downgraded, but the drama? Perpetually AAA.

Trump To Reopen Alcatraz Just For SBF and Diddy

El Presidente Donald Trump has announced his plan to reopen San Francisco’s island prison of Alcatraz, but this time with just two inmates, disgraced crypto bro Sam Bankman-Fried and disgraced creepy bro, P. Diddy.

Reportedly, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Sam ‘Bankman’-Fried were sharing a jail cell in New York and hit it off. So well, in fact, that Trump now says, “It would be inhumane to separate them, you know, like guinea pigs.”

“I’m going to reopen the Rock and it’s going to be for the world’s toughest criminals, and I mean really mean guys. I’ve got two to start with. Diddy. SBF. We’ll put Epstein in there if we ever catch him. It’ll be like Arkham Asylum. But real. And more secure.”

Trump plans to reopen Alcatraz
Epstein Island 2.0?

Completely remodelling the former prison for just two inmates would seem cost-ineffective, but Trump has assured voters that it’s not.

“It’s just an idea I have and i guess because of these judges they want trials for every single one of these illegal immigrants in our country, it’s ridiculous, but Alcatraz has long been a symbol, I don’t know why, but it’s long been a symbol of law and order in our country and we’re going to think about that.”

Trump, “Sam Bankman-Not-Quite-So-Freed”

When Alcatraz closed in 1963 it was three times more expensive to run than any other prison. But that’s before they got dat Diddy money! *BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM* BrrrrrAPP-BRAP!! Yeah, they can afford it now fo sho. Fo sho!

Sure, they’d have to knock it down and start over but phhhffff, that’s worth the price to keep us all safe? Us all safe from Diddy (and SBF)? Heck, I’d pay the moon not to have him sneak into my room at night. Heck, I say ROCK HIM UP!

Palantir Stock Slumps 12% After Everyone Realizes No One Knows What The Company Does

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) has felt a massive stock slide of 12% after investors took a look at the company’s valuation and realized that they have no idea what the company does or what a ‘palantir’ even is.

Is it like a knight? Oh, no, that’s ‘paladin’.

The company, which makes… which invests in… which does something involving AI, probably, posted a 5% decline in the first quarter of last year, well below analysts’ expectations for a company that does something.

Maybe it’s a bit of armor? …nope, that’s ‘pauldron’ damn.

Europe. That’s a place. They had a share decline for the company. 16% to 10% this quarter compared to last year’s same quarter. So that’s interesting. Are you guys genuinely interested in this? Like, this entertains you? Ok, alright, then.

In a post-earnings conference call, Palantir CEO Alex Karp explained that “Europe doesn’t get AI yet.”

Ah ha! I knew they did an AI! Nice, nice, nice.

Oh, wait, isn’t a palantír that orb in Lord of the Rings that the White Wizard Saruman keeps secretly at the top of Orthanc tower in Isengard to commune with the Dark Lord Sauron?

Wait, let me Google it…

Yes! I’m right, the palantíri were forged by Fëanor, one of the Noldor elves of Valinor in the Uttermost West during the First Age to communicate across Arda. At least eight were made; however, by the time of the War of the Ring, only three are known to still exist, one with Saruman, another with Denethor in Gondor, and another with Sauron in Mordor, casting the reliability of the stones’ premonitions into doubt.

…What was I talking about?

Oh yeah, OK, so that’s it then, Palantir Technologies Inc. makes evil orbs.

Geez. No wonder their stock is slipping.

Trump Admits To Being Deep State Puppet, “This Is Biden’s Stock Market, Not Trump’s”

In a revealing Truth Social post, current President Donald J. Trump has admitted that he is in fact a deep state puppet for former President Joe Biden and has been all along.

Trump wrote, “This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s,” seemingly admitting that Biden is still somehow in charge of the economy.

Wait, they call them ‘ReTruths’? Ew.

However, Trump has said he plans to fight back, “We have to get rid of the Biden “Overhang.” This will take a while.”

Expert conspiracy theorists suggest that this term, ‘overhang’, is likely a codeword for the continued control J’Biden has over Trump.

“He left us with bad numbers,” Trump continues, “But when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!”

Now, it’s unclear what this ‘boom’ refers to. Idiots think that the ‘boom’ might refer to the economy, however, they are idiots. Real ones know that ‘boom’ implies an explosion of some kind, meaning that Trump plans to fight back with force and destroy the deep state once and for all. Huzzah!

But it might take a while for Trump to fully have control of anything so BE PATIENT!!! And remember, none of this is his fault, unless it’s good, in which case it’s all him baby.

In spite of Trump’s admission, SOME people (again, idiots) are claiming that he contradicted himself in a previous Truth Social post in which he said the exact opposite thing: “THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET”.

Anyone with half a brain would understand that clearly this was written when Trump was under the influence of the Biden Overhang. Trump has only just wrestled off the tendril-like clutches of the big JB. OF COURSE HE HAD TO SAY THAT! He can’t just admit he’s a deep state puppet like that can he? Until now. Now he can.

Anyway, today’s a big day to find out that Trump is finally free (yay!) and now we’ll start to see some real gains. Great America, here we come!

Amazon Offers Trump Olive Branch: Free Prime For A Month

After Donald Trump criticised Amazon for planning to list the extra tariff cost on their products, the company has rolled back the feature and even offered Trump a rare deal: one month of complimentary Amazon Prime.

The offer, valued at $14.99, includes free two-day shipping, Prime Video, an optional Audible trial, and unlimited passive scrolling through products the President will likely never purchase.

The deal was in the form of a gold-embossed letter titled “Let’s Move Forward, Together – With Prime™.” Sources say Trump initially believed it was a subpoena and tried to burn the document.

Amazon says they hope the gesture will “get that pesky Trump off our backs.”

“We believe even the most divisive national figures deserve 30 days of free streaming and expedited delivery,” said Amazon spokesperson Janus Panus between sips of union tears.

Amazon Trump Bezos Tariffs meme
yeah, I stole this meme, so what? oh wait, that’s us

Trump Responds: “I Invented Amazon Prime, Frankly”

In a Truth Social post that spanned four paragraphs, three conspiracy theories, and one insightful review of Reacher, Trump wrote:

“Very honored that Jeffrey Amazon is finally acknowledging what everyone knows: I invented Prime. The drink too. Many people don’t know this, but I was the first to say, ‘What if packages came faster?’”

He concluded the post by tagging @PrimeSupport and asking if they could send “a new golf hat to Mar-a-Lago.”

Tensions Thaw as Trump Orders 600 Gallons of Orange Self-Tanner

Since activating the membership, Trump has reportedly placed over 120 orders, including:

  • A Diet Coke drip
  • A “presidential” karaoke machine preloaded with Kid Rock
  • One thousand “MyPillow” knockoffs filled with shredded classified documents
  • A 12-foot-tall lawn ornament shaped like himself riding an eagle made of bacon

Regarding his Prime experience, Trump replied, “It’s tremendous. The shipping is fast like Melania leaving a charity event.”

He reportedly left a 5-star review on the site saying: “Best bribe ever. Would destabilize democracy again.” then left a negative review for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, calling the show, “fake news.”

Bezos Reacts With Visible Emotions

Jeffrey Bezos has declined to comment and merely smiled menacingly from low Earth orbit. Sources close to the Amazon founder say he remains skeptical of Trump’s loyalty to the brand as a result of previously discovering the former president referred to Prime Day as “a Chinese hoax.”

“If this keeps him from starting ‘Trumpazon,’ I’ll give him two free months,” JB reportedly quipped.

Amazon has hinted at a possible “Unity Bundle” for other controversial figures, including:

  • Complimentary Alexa for Rudy Giuliani (pre-programmed to call 911 at random)
  • Audible Plus trial for Elon Musk titled “How to Stop Talking”
  • And a special, “Maybe Chill Out A Lil” package for Vladimir Putin.

Elon Leaves DOGE To Focus On Kids, No, Wait, Tesla

Richest man in the world and part-time most powerful man in the world, Elon Reeve Musk (‘erm’ for short) has announced that he will be significantly cutting back from his work at DOGE in order to focus on his kids, no, wait, sorry I meant Tesla.

Erm has 14 children, but they’ve all got their own thing going on. However, Tesla stock has taken a massive hit this year and needs some more of that invaluable Musky attention.

But CEO Elon Musk assures stockholders that this is all part of the plan. Tesla stock is actually programmed to self-drive in this direction.

When asked to clarify by a confused everyone, Musk took to X to explain that, “We have a feature with the Tesla autopilot where, when there’s an emergency, the stock will just drive headfirst into a pit, making a really cool explosion. It’s all part of DOGE’s cost-cutting measures, after all, a bankrupt company has to downsize, saving everyone money.”

Elon reportedly set the company to self-drive mode while he was away. Now that it’s driven off a canyon, however, Musk will return to take the wheel and spend just one to two days a week on DOGE.

So Long Elon

DOGE, or if you want to be more efficient you can call it “the (not technically a department) Department of Government Efficiency (like the dog meme)”, is just one of the many government organizations you can’t believe are real alongside Space Force, the Board of Tea Appeals, and the CIA.

Even though another layoff would make DOGE more efficient, it seems unlikely that Musk will step down completely from DOGE because he paid a lot of money to get there.

As Trump’s first presidency already demonstrated, a government is just like a company in every single way, and a person who can kind of run multiple companies at once can handle little government on the side. Elon runs a lean ship: at Tesla, he replaced all the drivers with AI, at Twitter, he replaced all the users with bots, and all the letters in the name with just one. Much more efficient.

And Musky Man has now made similar changes to government, replacing all government officials with Grok and ‘The Federal Government of the United States of America’? Ugh, what a mouthful, how about just a nice, lean 𝕏.

Commenting on Musk in a 2022 Truth Social post, Trump said, “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless and tell me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have done it.”

Nicola Tesla Said To Be ‘Rolling In Grave’

As for Tesla, reportedly, they have delivered just 336,681 cars this quarter, compared to 386,810 last year. Now, I’m no mathematician, but those look like the exact same numbers to me.

This development follows a difficult year for TSLA. Even though President Trump has pledged to replace the presidential motorcade with Cybertrucks, the car company took a bigger hit from the new auto tariffs. In response, Musk introduced new three-wheeled Teslas to work around Trump’s 25% tariff (you can’t tax a quarter if you’re missing a quarter!).

Teslas have also been hit by vandals over the past few weeks, and a suicide fire-worker in January. Similarly, Musk’s ‘Cyberlegs’ project failed to materialize. Man, sucks to be the richest man alive, huh.

But all of this is a footnote to Tesla’s real problem: China.

China is pulling ahead as the largest EV market in the world, making them cheaper, hotter and more Chinese than anything Tesla could possibly make. Now, I might not be Chinese, but I sure can recognize when I see a premium vehicle and a quality product. That’s the kind of feeling you get from a Chinese EV.

Frito-Lay Takes $5.5 Billion Hit After Trump Bans Chip Exports

Snack company, Frito-Lay has claimed it’s going to lose $5.5 billion dollars (USD) after Washington has placed new restrictions on the export of H20 chips, which I guess is just plain salted flavor?

Ok, I’m reading it now… the H20 chip is an ‘artificial chip’? So I guess it was grown in a lab? Yeah, still not clear what flavor it is, but I guess base level it’s salted, right? Apparently, the Chinese couldn’t handle the more powerful H100 chip, so I guess that one was super spicy.

It was this H20 chip that developers of DeepSeek snacked on whilst building their breakthrough AI model so who knows what they’re going to eat now. Pringles? Ew.

But how can this be profitable for Frito-Lay? I hear you ask. Well, that’s just the point, it can’t. This sucks. This fucking sucks. Frito-Lay is the greatest snack company I can name. They got Doritos, they got Lays, they got them cheesy Cheetos. And to see them take a 14-point stock dive on this? My god. I vomited into my underwear. If America can’t look after the bastions of its snack industry, then is nothing sacred anymore?

“THIS IS DISGUSTING!” claimed Chinese snack connoisseur Steven Steven. “CHIPS ARE A HUMAN RIGHT!”

Look, Steven’s right, chips are a human right and China eats a lot of chips and if you’re going to let Frito-Lay die? I’m going to come for you.

The snack-pocolyse is the latest tremor in Trump’s trade tariff trauma. He’s cut down on cars, steel and greebling. Put on your hats kids, because it’s only got to get more shaky from here.

Oh, and Nvidia’s also hit too, or something, I guess.

Anyway, I’m hungry now.

Tesla Stock Self-Drives Into Canyon

Electric car manufacturer Tesla has taken its largest stock hit in its history as sales plunged 13% this quarter. But CEO Elon Musk assures stockholders that this is all part of the plan and Tesla stock is actually programmed to self-drive in this direction.

Teslas have also been hit by vandals over the past few weeks, and a suicide fire-worker in January. Similarly, Musk’s ‘Cyberlegs’ project failed to materialize.

A more personal headache for Musk is his failed attempt to bribe Wisconsin voters. Although he did give away millions of his own money, the vote swung towards electing a liberal judge. Man, sucks to be the richest man alive, huh.

But all of this is a footnote to Tesla’s real problem: China.

China is pulling ahead as the largest EV market in the world, making them cheaper, hotter and more Chinese than anything Tesla could possibly make.
