Explain this to me because Tesla stock always seems caught in fantasy land and I am an idiot at Stonks I go out and buy 5 shares of TSLA stock tomorrow. Come Sept 1, I now own 25 shares but the price is, say, $300 each?

If you're conspiracy minded it was announced because Martin Tripp (whistle blower) just dropped a bunch of confidential Tesla docs that arose from his litigation which I've heard absolutely prove fraud in Tesla's counting waste battery cells as finished inventory or putting them in cars. I have no idea how long ahead of time you have to plan for a stock split though, I would imagine there is some sort of process that takes some time. Also, I don't doubt he was wronged by Tesla and is most certainly getting hosed over, but that is not going to help his case and he comes across as very upset and unhinged on Twitter. It is clever though for dealing with the retail investors. A year ago the stock was at $229, now you have a lot of people that bought it over $1000. There's not really any great reason for it to be that much higher now, in fact the growth narrative is dead, but now that the stock will be around $300 I feel like people will think the "floor" has to be $200 even though a 5:1 split at August 2019 levels makes it $45.

yeah I read a load of his tweets and some of it does come across a bit unhinged. like for sure there is a core of validity but then there'll be some random 3 tweet burst of "DO YOU HEAR ME ELON? I KNOW ABOUT THE BATTERY CELL PARKING LOT SCAM WITH THE SHERIFF AND THE CIA, STOP TAPPING MY PHONE GRIMES!"

Well they did intercept his cell phone (is it even legal to use a Stingray at a private company?), and try to swat him as OJ said. I had forgotten about the swatting, it has to be pretty surreal to know some fairly dumb billionaire tried to kill you and for some reason the media didn't cover it at all. Not surprising he wouldn't seem 100% relaxed on Twitter.

they also had him followed by multiple PIs and knew where he was at all times. when the threat was called in they actually knew he was with his wife shopping but didn't tell the cops

 if I spend my life savings on TSLA today, I'll have Stonksx5 in Octember!  yes and since the stock was at $300 before and went to 1500, it'll surely get to $1000 in a few days meaning I'll cash out a millionaire!!!!!!!

so exactly how long can the market remain this irrational? I have a feeling the next step is to leverage some of that stock into buying actual companies that work [and probably ruining them in the process]

the companies that work are real auto manufacturers and that means moving reasonably quickly and not killing people, two missing core fundamentals on the tesla assembly line

how does that work? yes he has more shares now but they are worth correspondingly less. surely the loans are based on the dollar value of the shares, not simply the number of shares?

stock splits are entirely psychological, and it works because companies only do splits when they’re doing really well ergo Tesla is an unstoppable juggernaut now because they’re doing a stock split qed
