the seven grand price drop still means the equivalent Tesla costs more than a chuffing electric Porsche with more features including a glovebox handle.

The musk fanboy commentators are lunatics, they think the drop in share prices are down to the "woke liberals" turning on musk, like anyone owes any loyalty to the CEO of a company you are buying a product or shares from, and you got to wonder why? Do they think people who are not racist and vote democrat are incapable of shopping around for a car? Do they think a normal person seeing the lot full of parked teslas picture coupled with a huge waiting list isn't going to think it's a red flag?

It's fairly obvious that at this point the only demographic for Tesla cars are lunatic right wingers prepared to stop buying gas cars in order to show those filthy leftists that they support musk, which is what? 6 people? Do these people not see that if they go on a stock website for grown ups with their piss and biscuits $100k retirement fund investment and start spouting absolute bollocks about the Ukraine and the jews then some intern isn't going to go "oh wow you seen this" to their hedge fund manager boss.

reminder that Musk has lots of stuff leveraged on his Tesla shares, no one knows for sure what numbers means lols, but the way this is tanking it's going to blast through them all all anyway.

Yea with the drops it’s been having, is there a proper doom spiral lurking out there somewhere on the price? Something like

Drops below [x] value->margin call/he sells-> price goes down (big sale on Musk’s part/it’s doing it already for semi-related reasons)->drops below [x] value-> another margin call

?

If it’s “let’s kill 7.5 billion people to get there” sure, that’s hosed up. If it’s “stop having so many kids until the population naturally reduces down to 500m,” that seems reasonable.

I have no idea how his finances are structured or how that even works but is it possible for Musk to lose everything? Like he'll be forced to sell all his assets and poo poo that are actually worth something and the rest just becoming worthless? Him being ousted as CEO everywhere and nobody willing to work with him anymore because he'll be the guy that tanked Tesla and Twitter and lost a quarter of a trillion dollars.

Because I would really love to see that happening. Just having him reduced to a mere millionaire so I don't have to hear from him anymore would be nice.
