As much as I hate Elon Musk, you have to give him credit, he did ruin Elon Musk's life.

That's the question.

If he did go see the bonesaw is this the best outcome?

I don't think he's out of control. If he is he's basically dead.

Musk is not the super genius puppet master to be framed as doing something to benefit some other group. Dude is just a dumbass with a lot of money who is so internet poisoned he can’t log off even for his own well-being.

Tesla is already propped up by government money almost exclusively, so I think they'll be able to willfully ignore that.

At this rate and with the wider economic climate its going to be below 100 for sure come January.

The rest of the markets are taking a beating but Tesla is nearly double the rest of the automotive. The speculation pump ending maybe?

Musk only has 60 billion in Tesla? Is the rest of his net worth just in Space X? I wouldn't have expected it to be so valuable.

I’m thinking institutional investors are beginning to rethink the whole “wunderkind” thing after SBF’s flameout. And Elon in particular has given them many reasons to doubt him specifically over the past year.

If $TSLA was worth $15-20 in 2019, what has happened since that would make it worth 10x as much in 2022? Postponing the Cybetruck and Tesla semi three years?



Tesla got a lot of hype in the pandemic because it derailed all the big automakers' EV plans (and their business in general) and also gave a lot of stimulus money to middle class consumers who wanted a Tesla but were previously priced out. Back in 2019 everyone assumed that Tesla would be crushed by mass market EVs within 2-3 years, so when Tesla outperformed the big brands instead people piled in and it turned into a self-sustaining bubble.

Maybe trying to run a hybrid car company while being the most aggressively polarizing right wingy CEO next to guys like Mike Lindell isn't super great for business. Bad faith bullshitting and denialism also seems bad for stable business

It's absolute smoke and mirrors, my kid has been studying this quite closely and is much cleverer than me and she is convinced that he reacted so badly to bankman fried, not just because he's Jewish but because Musk has been running a similar scam right from the get go.

A college town around me apparently has put in a lot of Tesla charging stations in various places. Is that tech going to be good for anyone else as EVs hit the market or are/were they more or less Tesla only?

Yes, trades per day. It doesn’t necessarily mean dumping, but…lol
