#SolarCity
The felon is right....we can't just boycott Tesla. We have to boycott Twitter, SolarCity, Starlink, and SpaceX, too.

On Feb 27, 2013, Elon Musk literally went straight from playing world savior on the TED stage to meeting with a convicted pedophile human trafficker

the solarcity lawsuit was illuminating and this is what he always does. it’s a financial shell game
Ultimately: this is Elon using a new huge valuation to bail himself out. Twitter will generate less than $3bn of ad revenue this year and probably less than $2bn of EBITDA. There’s no chance xAI has that much revenue. But we’re supposed to believe the whole pile is worth a Bank of America ($133bn).

He overpaid previously to acquire SolarCity (run by his cousin) when it was struggling.

“The company was founded on July 4, 2006, by Peter and Lyndon Rive, the cousins of SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Tesla acquired SolarCity in 2016”

If you were curious, this was the Solar City scam.

It's the EXACT SAME trick: using an all-stock transaction to bail out a failing company by saddling another company with its debts at the cost of shareholders.

Elon can't even find an original grift anymore.

Trump's right....we can't just boycott Tesla. We have to boycott Twitter, SolarCity, Starlink, and SpaceX too!

Do your part to destroy the evil empire of Elon Musk.

7/ Never underestimate that way that Musk, with the various corporations he controls, can shuffle money here and there. Remember, if you will, the SpaceX loans to SolarCity, repaid only after Musk engineered the bailout.

Want to stop them? Stop buying their crap Teslas & anything from SolarCity. Delete your FB, Insta, Threads, WhatsApp, PayPal & X accounts. Done.

Tesla, then Starlink, NeuraLink, SpaceX, Boring Company, xAi, and SolarCity.
Tesla is facing its first annual sales decline in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market.

While the drop may appear relatively small, it signaled deeper trouble in a market where competitors like BYD and Xiaomi have posted record growth.

Anything Musk is easy to boycott too. Tesla, Tesla Solar (formally SolarCity), Twitter and Starlink are the big ones.

if you never really followed the Tesla Solar Roof story, this is one of the better stories on it (Fast Company, 2017)

Holy SolarCity batman!

my answer to this is a deep desire to believe his extremely attractive narratives, which healed deep contradictions (Tesla/SolarCity: capitalism can drive environmental sustainability) and restored a sense of modernist aspiration and national greatness (SpaceX: back to space)
why do you think so many gave elon musk’s personal & business conduct adulation for so long? many of us lowly but serious “legacy media,” trade reporters & bloggers covered it bluntly. employees & exes spoke out. shortsellers published theses. why was it all a big shrug or salute for him- thoughts?

Telsa would have to sell 400 million cars to return profits to equity holders, they currently produce 2 million/year. His behavior must be understood in these terms, there is no public company he can spin up to wallpaper over the equity black hole (as he did when Tesla bought insolvent SolarCity)

SolarCity was owned by elon's cousins until 2016, when he bought it from them.

They were scamming the shit out of New York state and Buffalo in 2014, which was 11 goddamn years ago.

Seven years after the fact, Greg Brockman just testified under oath that Elon Musk told him that the #$TSLA SolarCity acquisition was a bailout for Musk's cousins.

Do we get to have a do-over of the SolarCity litigation?
May 5, 2026 at 4:36 PM
probably relevant that in 2016 SpaceX took a bunch of money from up front government contracts and then jammed it into unsecured Solar City debt that the market had rejected, which probably would have landed Musk in prison had Tesla not bailed out SolarCity
July 13, 2025 at 6:21 PM
lmao, his current CFO was the controller of solarcity
May 1, 2024 at 11:50 PM
"he acquired solarcity" really made me laugh
