Musk's Sales Scheme

As electric pickup trucks go, the Tesla Cybertruck does a lot of things right, but it nevertheless remains controversial due to its unconventional styling. (Elon Musk’s various controversis haven’t helped, either.) Now a report from Bloomberg seems to indicate the truck’s sales numbers may be goosed, as it says 20 percent of all Cybertrucks are registered under non-Tesla companies owned by Elon Musk.

The story goes into some detail. Among 7,071 Tesla Cybertrucks sold in Q4 2025, it says, 1,279 were sold to SpaceX, xAI, The Boring Company, or Neuralink, with the vast majority going to Musk’s aerospace company. That’s a bit over 18 percent of all sales, and the report also states the trend has continued into Q1 of this year. It further points out that if you remove these trucks from the model’s overall volumes, “Cybertruck registrations in the fourth quarter would have fallen 51 percent.

Nobody should be surprised that Musk is inflating his sales numbers by shuffling his Führerwagon to his other companies. He's just another rich-ass clown who believes that whatever benefits him is right.

  1. Will Lockett has a web-site that shows the very bad wizard behind the curtain: all fraud, all flim-flam all the time. The numbers, economic and rocket physics, don't add up, never mind the ubermenschen crap. Wen the bubble finally pops, the crash will be epic. And Starship, for all the fairy dust surrounding it, can't do a quarter of what was promised and it sold as....like everything else Musk has put his ketamine-charged hands on.

  2. The billionaire's version of the shell game: move some assets around, merge failing companies and then find some suckers to fleece in an IPO.

    1. And that, apparently, is just what SpaceX is about to do.

  4. Briana met a woman in Berkeley who told her she made a deal with her boyfriend that if he bought a douche-panzer, she got to pick the color. It was iridescent electric pink.
