If you’re riding the Tube this week, keep an eye out for an ad that’s got everyone talking. A clever bit of satire is taking aim at Elon Musk’s plummeting Tesla shares—and it’s absolutely ruthless.
Tesla’s Share Price Takes a Hit
Tesla’s stock peaked at $480 per share in December. But fast forward to the end of February? It’s crashed to $280. While market dips happen, this particular nosedive coincides with Musk’s latest controversies.
From public outbursts to a widely condemned gesture at a recent event, Musk’s behaviour has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Now, a group of pranksters in London has found the perfect way to mock him.
Savage Tube Ad Puts Musk on Blast
London commuters were greeted by a brutal piece of advertising this week. The poster features Musk mid-salute, with his outstretched arm perfectly matching the downward curve of Tesla’s share price.
The punchline? “Hate doesn’t sell – just ask Elon Musk.”
Ouch. That one’s gotta sting.
Musk’s Controversies Could Be Costing Him
The backlash against Musk isn’t just online. Accusations of political extremism, platforming hate speech, and alienating investors have led many to believe his leadership is hurting Tesla.
Given Musk’s insistence that he’s helped ‘legalise comedy’, you’d think he’d appreciate the joke. But something tells us he’s not laughing.
Will Musk Take the Hint?
With Tesla’s share price still dropping, Musk might need to rethink his approach. But knowing him, a meltdown on X (formerly Twitter) seems more likely.
Either way, London’s pranksters have delivered an all-time great roast—and for once, Musk isn’t the one in control of the narrative.
