I can't figure out who does more goalpost-moving, Musk, or the people in this thread.

Entertaining, insightful @latimes story on Elon Musk’s army of short-sellers, who are convinced he’s a fraud and Tesla is a house of cards — and aren’t afraid to tweet about it. https://t.co/YzpE31sU0x $TslaQ

there will never be a $35k tesla.

Sounds like you can have one but only if you go on a quest to a Tesla store and do battle with the Tesla sales team who will do eevrything they can to talk you out of making them take a loss on it.

A software-limited car model is an absurdity, who is that for

if you think about it, the software in a lot of cars could do a lot more things, just not very well or safely

you get heated seats if you preorder at GameStop

omg lol

unlock a classic aftermarket pioneer stereo skin for your display if you die during autopilot

A software-limited car model is an absurdity, who is that for

I’m mildly terrified whenever I’m in a car with software

I've got bad news for you

my last car was made in 1994 and I walk a lot

lol

i’m no pedant, sure, that works

I'm with sic here. Our car barely has an engine, let alone software.

even the odometer was still mechanical in mine, though I’ll admit I did get into it with a mobile phone in my bag

Lol what a cunt

So the Boring company loop can take as many passengers in A DAY as ONE Victoria Line tube train can take every 100 seconds

Please stop Elon Musk - take away his weed. Please. https://t.co/5Pmmrjln7r

not his weed that needs taken away from him. this is coke hubris with a budget

its his life that shd be taken away, the movement starts here to execute elon musk #executeelonmusk

trisect him midair, each part landing squarely on a target below

tie him up in a tesla. turn on autopilot. direct the tesla toward the super aggro crag. mike o malley commentary throughout.

pay ricky for a "service" on paypal.

(the service is the execution)

caught his press conference on autotaxis (don't ask why) and its the first time I've ever heard him speak...he is a remarkably poor public speaker, coming off like someone who's been awake for 72 hours

the hatred of lidar is interesting. the dismissal seems too convenient, but I don't know enough to say it's certainly wrong?

he... probably has been awake for 72 hours.
I wonder how much short selling is predicated on his behavior raising the probability he is going to die soon.

We should be so lucky

if he dies Tesla stock would probably shoot way up

I don't think that's true? The whole company's a cult of personality thing

the hatred of lidar is interesting. the dismissal seems too convenient, but I don't know enough to say it's certainly wrong?

i'm not familiar with musk's angle on lidar, but in general everyone who says they can do it without lidar has changed their mind (and moved their money) after trying

see https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/intels-mobileye-wants-to-dominate-driverless-cars-but-theres-a-problem/ for more on that

i've kinda only been skimming the thread lately and when i saw "the hatred of lidar" i assumed that "Lidar" had to be the name of some rival monstrous tech personality

Elon's evil cousin who keeps trying to sabotage him, Lidar Musk

losing 800 dollars a month isn't really a lot though.

Ha.

Though I do like the idea of Tesla profits scaled down for, say, Elon's Lawn Service.

"Episode X: The Hatred of Lidar"

in star wars, they'd use fodar

kylo and rey have a thing they call fodar love

I finally got short a little bit of TSLA today (through a put, the shares aren’t possible to borrow) just for shits and giggles.

hope you got in at the open!

or not since i don't think puts work that way

i suppose the strike price you can get changes somewhat in real time, so it does make some sense? i've never bought anything but shares (of other stocks. TSLA scares me).

anway, lidar help you if elon tweets 420 right before expiration

I didn’t get in at the open but still made a small profit. I’ve already closed it out. I’ll feel dumb if the stock craters on Monday.

holy shit

Parent's worse nightmare lived.

A mother retrieving her toddler son from a $TSLA parked in her garage instead has the car suddenly accelerate, slamming her against the wall.

The car wouldn't stop, breaking several bones & causing premature delivery of 2nd child.

of course people are saying "the toddler did it could happen in any car" in the comments despite the fact that the key was in the woman's possession and no a toddler cannot start a car that's in park and put it in drive and accelerate without a key in the ignition in any other car that exists

every new parent worries that they could be run over by their absurdly expensive smart car with Falcon Wing doors. few are forced to live this parent's "worse" nightmare.

Maybe the child used telekinesis.

it appears Tesla is.....blaming the toddler
