    Whats crazy is that even after losing more than half its value recently, it still has a PE ratio of around 128. Lol Can’t wait for the earnings to be released in April for the real bloodbath to start. Would be hilarious if it drops so much that FElon get’s margin called 😂

        We will hear an immediate news bulletin that all post office vehicles will be model Ys or something like that.

        If you default on your mortgage, you’ve got a problem. If you default on Twitter, the bank has a problem

          Aljazeera | How Elon Musk funded his $44bn Twitter takeover

          A curious read, seems he spent $27bn in cash on the transaction - so he ‘only’ has loans on ~$17bn, across a swathe of investment groups, wealth funds and banks. Basically, I don’t think a margin call is imminent.

          Which is a bit of a shame, as it would be somewhat hilarious to see it fall into the hands of a bank like Chase - being such a toxic asset at this point, to know whether they’d try to salvage/pivot it (ideal, but unlikely) - or just sell it on and write off the loss.

      That would be wild lol. Trump has a storied history of turning on people who expend their usefulness to him, and often viciously. Many of the things that prop Musk up now can switch and work against him.

      Yeah, but this time investors might actively start dumping shares, because teslas stock was already ridiculously over inflated and their sales are now starting to decline and the legacy automakers are catching up, while the chinese curb stomped tesla already

      My dad was invested in Tesla and i convinced him to sell with this one simple truth

      There is very little overlap in the venn diagram of people who would buy teslas and the people who think what musk is doing is good.

      he is seriously pissing off his customer base

    I wonder what crisis they’re going to create to distract, dismiss or deny that this is happening

    All because you thought he made a Nazi salute and he’s working with Trump.

    No other valid reason. Wild and pathetic.

      If it wasn’t a nazi salute, then why won’t any other right-wing politicians, commentators, or pundits do it?

      They have been challenged to, and they all skirt around it.

      They claim it was a different gesture, along the lines of “giving my heart to you,” but then won’t do the actual gesture.

      Charlie kirks’ attempt to write off the obvious nazi salute was especially funny:

      https://youtu.be/x7Nz6QbCrIE

      It’s not even close… not even close…

      They won’t do it because they all know what it was. They know its wrong. They know only elon would get away with it (and possibly trump) because they are the leaders of the cult.

      The only other person who did it (weakly, as far as i know, and almost didn’t do it) is this guy:

      https://youtu.be/7E9pXCuJnbc

      It was so awkward. He even had to give a little nod to himself afterwards when it didn’t go down badly, as if he was sighing in relief.

      It’s pathetic that people try to defend it. It is obvious what it was.

      There was that time he called a rescue diver a pedo because he wasn’t allowed to use his unsafe sub. Oh, and his blatant takeover of the government.

      Can you show me data to justify TSLA for even trading at as high a price as it has considering it’s assets, quality control, competition, product launch failures, etc?

      As far as I’m concerned, it’s BEEN overvalued to hell just on the back of Elon Musk’s name. So why can’t it swing back the other way for the same reason?
