I saw a video that suggested he is trying to pull out of Tesla and place his bets on SpaceX because of the mounting backlash.
Atrioc is indeed pretty insightful as to the actual reasons why Tesla is viewed as an albatross - the fact that major stakeholders are selling off shares as soon as they acquire them should be a big warning sign. They are still massively over valued of course.
My takeaway is that protests and the like should start going after his other businesses especially SpaceX. His fucking fantasy is Mars and we should take that away from him.
A lot harder to go after aerospace factories and launch sites, both of which are at least "secure areas" in the commercial sense if not "restricted areas" in the national security sense.
I agree that it's easier to go after starlink contracts and express disappointment to those working for Musk rather than going to the sites themselves.
His fucking fantasy is Mars and we should take that away from him.
That was a lie so he could get government contracts to build missiles. It was a fucking sales pitch.
Musk lies a lot so I can't be certain but I think he genuinely wants to be remembered as "The Father of Mars" or some bullshit. I think that fantasy is the real infantile Musk poking through.
SpaceX and Starlink are insulated from consumer sentiment, most of their money comes from huge government contracts and have already been made essential through an escalating series of frankly godawful decisions, unfortunately.
Don't forget that he also used Tesla to essentially but Twitter...if Tesla fails, then so does his entire social media disinformation and propaganda platform. Can't have that happening...which is why donald came 'to the rescue '
They are nothing without twitter and whatever the hell that lies circle platform he keeps using.
I keep seeing posts that mention if Tesla hits $120 per share, it drops below the collateral level of the Twitter acquisition loan.
I have no idea how true that is but I’ve seen that number pop up multiple times across socials.
Can anyone confirm where that number is cited?
Elon is a good target (+)
MuskRat is starting to feel it. Keep up the pressure. There are two coming inevitablities that are going to make his life truly miserable, and perhaps even destroy it.
It is only a matter of time before the Tesla board replaces him. No matter how loyal they are to him, they will have to reign him in to avoid the blowback in the next inevitablity.
That will be a class-action shareholder lawsuit against MuskRat for his effect on the stock price. He's supposed to be some super genius, so he has no excuse for not realizing that his terrible behavior would have a detrimental effect on the stock price. Many stockholders have lost thousands, even millions, in Tesla stock, and it is only a matter of time before they sue. Besides MuskRat, they will be suing the board members individually, unless they can make the case that they tried to mitigate the damage he was doing by firing him. Even so, they stood by and watched as he cut the stock price in half, so its probably too late for board members to save themselves.
I sold my Tesla stock, but I think Ill go on Stash and buy $5 worth of stock, just so I can vote to sue Musk, Tesla, and the Tesla Board of Directors.
I guess it would be a shame if I bought way out of the money cheap ass puts on Tesla wouldn't it
