lol matt levine
Musk will purchase $20 million worth of the company’s stock in the next trading opportunity, according to a person familiar with his plans. He’s Tesla’s largest shareholder, with a 20 percent stake.Musk is paying the SEC a $20 million fine. Tesla is also paying the SEC a $20 million fine. Is what is happening here that Musk feels responsible for Tesla’s $20 million fine, so he’s making it up to Tesla by buying some stock? But he’s not buying it from Tesla? He’s just going out into the stock market and buying some Tesla stock? Does he … think that … if he does that … Tesla gets the money? I feel like the implied message here is “Elon Musk doesn’t really ‘get’ corporate finance, so cut him some slack for tweeting weird stuff about ‘going private.’”

Is it all a cunning plan? Act weird and stupid to devalue stock, buy an extra bunch when price is low, then act smart for a while so value rises... bingo, jackpot!
(nb. I don't 'get' corporate finance.)

stupidest timeline klaxon:
TIL (via @inthesedeserts and the latest @trashfuturepod ep) that Elon Musk made his first million by selling his Korn fansite to Korn's then manager, because he discovered that the bassist was ripping off the bass riff from Seinfeld https://t.co/FI7xkjDLHa— hussein kesvani (@HKesvani) October 3, 2018

Of course this is the first response:
The stock was at the exact same price 5 days ago. It’s unstable because of shorts and constant manipulation campaigns. That said, buy in the dip because taunts or not, TSLA will still be a trillion valuation in 11 years according to analysts.— uɐpʇou@ ✸ (@notdan) October 4, 2018
