The Spin

Left narrative

Musk's political misadventures have devastated Tesla, with plummeting sales, stock free-fall, and brand reputation in tatters. His far-right flirtations and Nazi-esque gestures have alienated consumers worldwide, triggering protests and violence against showrooms. As a mere 12.8% stakeholder — not even Tesla's founder — Musk deserves immediate termination before his ego completely destroys the company.

Right narrative

Musk heroically sacrificed Tesla's prosperity to wage war against government waste — a patriotic mission that deserves profound gratitude, not scorn. While Tesla's stock plummeted and profits nosedived, he confronted bureaucratic excesses for America's benefit. His brief detour from corporate duties wasn't negligence but noble public service that warrants celebration, not termination.
