I mean at this point, if people think there is going to be a margin call, and people think other people with Tesla stock think there is going to be a margin call, isn't the best option to just try and get out as quick as you can anyway, as either way there's going to be a big rush to sell?

It’s not that big a deal. The entire loan balance is $6.25 billion (or was at the time of purchase) and he’d only have to immediately pay part of it back. If he was forced to sell stock, it’d be an amount smaller than what he sold a week or so ago.

No you didn't.

I could spend a good hour telling you how bad leader, manager and human being Elon Musk is based on stories of people who worked directly for him, but I could never claim he was a bad engineer.

No you can't.

Sounds like it's a catch all rule to stop stuff like some stupid fuckwad going up to a Hawaiian Samoan or a indigenous Alaskan and going "you are an American really" and then being shocked when they get punched out.

My money market account's APY is 3.25%. If your current savings account is only giving you 0.1% then you need to find a new bank.

Elon's still full of poo poo though. The most obvious tell is the rest of the stock market not following TSLA's 8% plummet.

I just checked and it’s actually 0.07%. USAA has really turned to poo poo over the last few years.

Yeah, my Marcus online savings account, which I pay nothing for and took 5 minutes to get, has an APY rate of 3% right now. Everyone should be using online savings instead of getting five hundreth of a percent.

I can't find the post now but a few pages back, there was some NBC(?) Twitter post that basically said Musk was looking for a new CEO for Twitter and had been for some time now even before his poll. This was great for Musk because it was completely unprompted and exactly what his investors would want to hear. ALL HE HAD TO DO was shut the gently caress up and let people maybe thing that was true for a while but nope, he had to respond with his dumb laugh/cry emoji. Great job, Elon. Fantastic.
