Elon Musk

It would help Tesla but it would destroy their stock price. People buy Tesla because Musk.

People buy Tesla because Musk.

I said to my wife over lunch that the fact that the Cybertruck recall impacts fewer than 4000 vehicles means that the Musk cult is a whole lot smaller than the press a) realizes or b) is willing to acknowledge.

People buy tesla *stock* because musk, I should have said.

Fwiw though for now at least they’re selling cybertrucks as fast as they can make them. The fact that they have not sold many is evidence they have not made many, not that musk is or is not an unusually popular CEO.

elon made a website asking for his fifty billion dollars back https://www.supportteslavalue.com

lol

Musk OUT wouldn’t help Tesla. A new CEO isn’t going to make FSD real and if one came in and actually made the real world product better it would still be valued at car company prices instead of tech unicorn prices.

yeah i mean what's tesla without the musk cult? makers of kinda boring looking and somewhat overpriced EV cars and potentially one of the biggest disasters automotive history in the cybertruck?

when they originally agreed to give him the $50b it was tied to extremely unlikely future stock gains, then the stock went nuts, now he wants that money straight up, why would anyone agree to give it to him its very silly hes trying to extort them by saying hell work more at his other companies if he doesnt get it but hes already doing that, if owning 10% of the company already doesnt motivate him to actually work there why will another fifty billion, the whole situation is absurd, they should just give me the money to work on secret projects

rip institutional bulls. just the cranks now.

We were correct to reduce our $TSLA position from 12.2% in Sept 2022 to 2.7% today because of our concern about deteriorating fundamentals. In hindsight we should have sold our entire $TSLA position rather than kept a small % of it. We were right that cutting prices wouldn’t… https://t.co/bAP97xDIdO

thats good the cranks can buy all the stock then vote to give elon his fifty billion back

We don’t care about reality, we believe

After all those hours of conversations with bulls, you still don't get it, Gary. It's not that you're wrong, it's just that those things don't matter much to us.
True bulls are invested for >10-20 yrs. We are not traders, we are investors in the greatest entrepreneur of all time.

For over a decade Bernie Madoff looked like the smartest, most successful investor on Wall Street and wealthy people clamored to be allowed to participate in hedge fund. It was like owning a license to print money.

All the crypto HODLs said exactly the same thing

deliveries down (by 20%? time) to cut the workforce (also by 20%)!

*invoices for $56b*

*some of that's for editing my own posts*

we shuold see if we can sell ilx to elon for $44b

more like $44burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb

$77B

Is Tesla inflating odometer to show more range, ding lessors with over miles and duck repairs under warranty? As I return my leased Model Y I noticed the odometer is off by 20% vs my Lexus RZ. Turns out other Tesla owners have a similar concern. Is Musk gaming the Tesla odometer? https://t.co/jM8Pmf6U1D pic.twitter.com/h4BB0iiar6

thats really messed up

if true at those inflation rates that’s funny for simply being so obviously catchable. i mean car nerds can be pretty merciless with their personal data capture imo. in fact one reason i def doubt these q’s is that it woulda been caught long ago?

could be new

the stupidest possible explanation is that its tracking kilometers and calling them miles

hmm. that wld be dumb. remember that mars probe that crashed because its measures calcs had inconsistent imperial/metrics standards? the possibility of a km/mi problem at tesla is somehow proof that elmo should def keep his sights aiming for his personal mars mission or whatever.

tesla earnings call today; excited for new lies

elo "x" musg currently having a public spat with the Australian Government re defending Twitter's right to circulate video of a stabbing in a church

there will be no winners here, the govt will accuse him of being a lousy corporate citizen, he will get a little elon hard-on about it and cry 'censorship' & 'freedom' - perhaps statistically insignificant number of bozos might decide they want him to be next President of the USA

but the main effect will be to render the Tesla brand even more fucking toxic

oh lol I just saw that tweet about Australian sales figures quoted above, maybe he was just looking to act out and this gave him an opportunity

One of the EV YouTube channels I follow posted their "we lost Cronkite" video on their dismal cybertruck experience. Yeah, sure, a software update will suddenly give your CT locking differentials.

maybe teslas are measuring every bump in the road
like the freshmen physics troll of measuring the land-sea boundary

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-23/tesla-stock-in-no-man-s-land-after-43-rout-ahead-of-earnings:

"The company’s shares are weathering the longest rout since late 2022, tumbling nearly 19% over the past seven days"

I'm going to guess Taylor's people didn't return his call

I checked and she's still with ornaldo bloomps and probably not having surrogate children with Elon but who can tell

Great car

"the car is now in Fred Flintstone mode"

tbf you could buy a much more expensive metal brick

why did the stock go up when their numbers are bad?

mustve been not quite as bad as expected, also its just gone down a lot recently

maybe this too lol

e.w. niedermeyer @niedermeyer.io
Big takeaway from the Tesla earnings call is that Elon doesn't want to do anything to shore up sales, because he'd rather try to use the idle GPUs in parked Teslas as a distributed AI supercomputer... which doesn't make sense, but even if it did, it would still be stealing from your customers.

hes still got it baby

juicing the stock 10% with an extremely vague "announcement" re: an affordable car shipping in a few months. got to hand it to him,

he is honestly amazing at this stuff tesla would absolutely be out of business now were it not for his grifting

why did the stock go up when their numbers are bad?

part of the decline pre-earnings was due to rumors that tesla was trashing its low-cast EV project, but then elon reversed course during the actual announcement

i also think some of the gain is probably due to short-covering (which creates buying pressure)
