ok lol, missed this yesterday.

Update 6:13 p.m.: Tesla spokesperson Dave Arnold sent along a statement, seemingly confirming some of the situation and, using Skeptic’s real name, said Skeptic’s employer “is a longtime Tesla supporter and was one of the first to purchase a Model S.”

If you’re into video game development, consider applying to Tesla. We want to make super fun games that integrate the center touch screen, phone & car irl.

Like Pokemon Go! But with people swerving across motorways....

The future is fucking stupid.

THE STOCK MARKET IS SO RATIONAL!!!

Tesla shares are literally going up and down based on how much of a pissy dickhead and/or phony insincere apologist Elon Musk is on any given day:

Elon Musk makes the ‘most valuable apology of all time’ on Tesla's earnings call

Tesla shares are surging after Elon Musk apologized to Wall Street analysts over his behavior on the company's previous conference call.

Three months earlier, the stock plunged in after-hours trading in response to what Musk called "boring, bonehead questions" from analysts.

This time, Musk showed contrition and Tesla shares surged 8.5 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday, adding about $4.75 billion to the stock's value.

KeyBanc Capital Markets called it "maybe the most valuable apology of all time."

it's all apologies and the promise of magic beans

companies that actually produce a reasonable number of products or have income are boring

BREAKING: Elon Musk invents device that allows you to play video games instead of speaking to investors

A fun little breakdown of their current woes.

starting to get the impression that Elon is getting bored with the idea of cars. just doesn't seem that into cars anymore

There had been reports that Musk met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman during his recent visit to the U.S.A. but Musk tweeted on May 22nd that he did not in fact meet with Bin Salman https://t.co/SAsvkyYD6C

yeah so as i understand it you borrow the stock, then sell it, then buy it and return it when it goes in to the toilet. i guess that if instead the stock blows up then you'd be on the hook for huge sums of money (which I'm obviously not good for) so i guess no one would allow me to do so anyway

Elon is the poo rman's Ray Kurzweil

lmao

Buying puts is probably a better/safer idea than just shorting, but I've never actually done either. As John Maynard Keynes said "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

Musk is a fucking idiot

so is Kurzweil

not sure which is richer (I would assume Elon but idk)

He is a donor to the GOP he can do whatever he wants at this point. The US is but a playground for billionaires, if he wants to wrekt shorters with one illegal troll tweet, he can because they will be damned if the US isn't the land of snake oil vendors.

which stocks would you short based on idiocy of the CEOs? a buddy thinks the GoPro guy is a doofus.

the success of gopro is incredible a camera you strap to yr head lol god bless

You're 2-3 years too late, back when that company used to have significant worth/market action... same with Fitbit.

many making the case that sonos will be next: https://www.statista.com/chart/14995/stock-performance-of-fitbit-gopro-and-sonos/

price kinda crashed after I posted that :o. Fwiw, i don't think the ceo is an idiot. I think it's a well run shop.

Elon's twitter power extends to his ilx thread

still laughing at "take the stock private at $420" tbh

he really missed the boat by not adding "in 69 days!"

Mods please merge this with the grimes thread

(btw not laughing at the 420 joke so much as the revelation that he was allegedly tripping when he tweeted that)

turns out tweeting is a bad idea
