lol jesus loving christ, there's going to be discussions in master courses that discusses elon's inability to log off

Just think of all the wonderful things he can say tonight that will make all the TSLA shareholders who didn't sell off today, really, really regret it.

My money's on a lot of doubling down on the TSLA shares being 100% and no it's totally just the feds faults.

I think some high yield savings accounts can net you a couple points on return, but there are restrictions on how much\how often you can take money out.

I love reading Muskrat replies.

Some grade A sealioning that has aged well in light of Elon throwing nonstop tantrums between bouts of reinstating actual, genuine neo-nazis.

He wasn't online most of yesterday to respond to the twitter poll until after hours so people thought he might actually step down as Twitter CEO. Today he made it clear that no, he's just gonna post through it

Mine is like 0.1%
I dunno, I’ve got some cash in an easy access account paying 5.25%. The catch is that there is a finite amount of money you can put in it to get that rate (£5000) before it drops off to like 0.5%.

There is perhaps a kernel of truth in what Musk is saying about savings accounts vs stocks, but as ever it misses the wood for the trees.

As should be obvious to everyone the price of TSLA stock is and was heavily predicated on the shared delusion that Elon was a smart businessman and visionary that always ultimately ended up being right. Him buying Twitter and setting fire to however much cash in the process probably wouldn’t have even affected TSLA much had he carried it out in a professional manner, and kept broadly quiet afterwards.

As it is though literally every decision he has made has been a disaster, and they have all played out in the public domain. It’s gotten to the point where every tweet he makes inflicts another cut to his image, and TSLA has become a barometer for how badly he has Posted Through It that day.

I personally think he’s done irreparable damage to TSLA at this point. Your average person has seen behind the curtain and can see him for who he really is, warts and all. It’s not a good look, and the more hopelessly incompetent knee jerk decisions he makes the more it appears that the success of his other companies is down to smart people managing him, rather than the other way around.

Let's be real here, since Elon announced he was buying Twitter last April, anyone holding Tesla stock was a rube.

Also the stock was already plummitting and had been since the Day of the Sink. It just paused long enough for the suckers to think that maybe something had changes.

Yeah his whole thing seems to be asking a question instead of engaging with any of the criticisms levelled against him, which does fool people a lot of the time that he is calm, rational, analytical. And not a colossal idiot who is actively wasting the time of anyone who attempts to engage with him.
