DarkSol posted:i do think it's hilarious that Tesla's stock has wiped out any gains it made over the past year. still vastly overvalued, but it's a start. reminder that in the pump phase of this pump and dump there was a cumulative 15X stock split so it's still got a long long way to fall

nobody is giving dark money to musk by juicing the Tesla stock price that's just stupid, there are way easier ways to do it, e.g. by loaning money to buy some stupid website and then declining to call in the debt when it implodes, leaving it as a "gift" but with a side of blackmail

rotor posted:idk about this man why would they? it's not like elon has more money stashed away somewhere: he clearly had to sell off about ~40% of his tesla shares, leaving him with some ~11% (which he is clearly dissatisfied with, cf. him threatening to walk if they don't give him at least another 9%). assuming he plowed all of that into twitter, big financial institutions provided the bulk of the rest keep in mind individuals like larry ellison, despite throwing at least $1 billion into it, own shares; they are not loans, neither is the money put up by e.g. the saudis, which have something like 5% of x corp iirc. that's an investment and they were provided shares in return otoh the big banks like morgan stanley provided several billions in loans. while i don't know off the top of my head the terms of those loans (iirc they are public), considering that most of elon's ostensible net worth comes from his ownership of tesla shares (otherwise he wouldn't have had to have liquidated them), it's very likely he collateralized a decent chunk either way i don't think a big bank like morgan stanley or (i think it was) BofA would just forgive billions in loans to a clearly failing company, issued to someone who clearly has enough collateral to back them in the event they are not repaid e: light grammar cleanup Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Apr 19, 2024 |

there should be one of those long rear end articles about everyone whose job it is to bail elon out of poo poo he does every day, like cathy shoveling money into a lithium fire trying to unsquash the titan or yacc being the x wife, constantly wineposting and cheering for the burning dumpster that emerged when she pulled the ripcord on her career

Jonny 290 posted:first car syndrome i don't think it's entirely that, there's plenty of older tesla drivers like this too. i think it's basically because they're car people that hate driving cars for fucks sake one of the main selling points to these people is that it poorly drives itself while full well knowing it may in fact kill them, and that's still better than driving to them
