Elon is currently live and blaming everything on the fed. I'm sure some nice clips will surface!

Can you make twitter the main UI of the Tesla?

Elon: Um yeah I think, yeah, we can probably do that.

I'm glad I'm a veteran of the buttcoin thread, because I'm in the middle of selling a car and I'd be sorely tempted to just take all that money and bet it on puts, but the real world has been the very definition of irrational, so I'm sure it would end up shooting to 694.20 as soon as i actually have money on the line

So rising interest rates have accounted for a what… 34% drop in stock price since April? The rest of the market doesn’t reflect that kind of loss and that includes both the S&P and Nasdaq

Even by musk’s logic it doesn’t make sense

I like when he said there was nothing he could have done differently in the past few months that would have improved the situation at Tesla. Nothing at all. Perfect execution so far!

Lmao he doesn’t understand who buys Teslas and that’s so goddamned funny. To be clear, his bigotry isn’t funny but the fact that he says insanely tone-deaf poo poo like this absolutely is. Holy poo poo man, just lie. Every CEO lies and spouts milquetoast platitudes to placate shareholders. “

Reading this thread, I am reminded of a meeting I was in with the c-suite of my company. There were some meeting conflicts with our SEO department and a fairly junior member of staff was sent along. Someone who definitely wasn't paid enough for their level of insightful candour. The grand-high-dictator of the company had an idea and our friend and ally instinctively responded; "Dawg, that supervillain as gently caress!". A bunch of people who earned 100x what they earned pondered on this for a few minutes, then unanimously agreed and we never mentioned the bad strategy again. The member of staff got a huge award and all-expenses trip at the end of the year. So the opposite of what Elon-twitter are doing right now.

I can only assume this trip was a trick so they could hunt him for sport

Yes well you see the Liberals, MSM and shadow cabal are all trying to take down Musk for speaking the truth. Has he really said anything that would drive off people by listening to only one side, upset his target base that want clean healthy vehicles, or sink the very company he bought for billions?

Probably even some perverts trying to get him.

Total conspiracy! People are mad he's owning the libs!

It's quite shameful if you think about it.

Again anyone who can remember better then me please correct me if I m wrong.

Money has been super duper cheap for over a decade. Institutions could just roll over their loans. and plow that money into to long term projects like twitter.

Elon taking twitter private increased the amount of debit twitter/elon have.

Elon can just barrow or roll over his loans twitter has to be able to break even.

This is the feds fault for making barrowing more costly.

Also Elon is a super duper smart man....a rocket man....a car man.....and maybe even an assman!

I've been getting push notifications of his tweets despite not following him. It's kinda annoying.

I posted this same thing shortly after he was forced to buy the site. I don't really tweet or interact with anyone but I have the app on my phone and the instant he bought it I started getting blown up with every stupid thought he farted out

Yeah, except in the end all his employees caught up to him and beat him up and took their fair shares back leaving Wario to figure out what just happened. I think since then he's been less overtly greedy like that.

I was wondering about that today. TSLA is down over 21% just this week.
As far as I can remember, there were no significant financial, auto industry, or tech-related events this week.
There weren’t even any Tesla-related events, other than them doubling the current discount for the next week or so.

Has this ever happened before?

It'd be funny to see them try. It would take several billion in R&D and billions more in new manufacturing facilities to get that off the ground and I doubt there's many investors that would want to stump up the cash for that.
