Tesla stock TSLA chart resembles Bitcoin bubble in 2017, says analyst https://t.co/yvuuLmIcab #bitcoin pic.twitter.com/U1RbV1OexK

lol that analyst

it's all about charts

and golden ratios

pepsi cola

tbf tesla makes real cars that go, afaict. there seems to be some light financial crimes, but they do make cars. the nikola thing is theranos.

i'd say $TSLA chart is shaping up into a classic triple-charge summit - you can see the first "base camp" in March as the line consolidates gains and redistributes them to the previous baseline. the first real climb goes from march to late june, interrupted by an overnight "pause for breath", followed by a dawn ascent to Bravo camp in early August. all of that was clear enough, but not everyone agrees on the meaning of the heights of late August. was that the summit? it was cloudy, everyone was relying on their instrumental readings rather than sight, and no one on the trip had been above 20,000 ft before. we can only see that musk quickly retreated back down. did he fall or was he pushed? or is he just redistributing the gains and insights to Bravo camp?

could just be head and shoulders too

even money theyre doing major accounting fraud, tho maybe that qualifies for light these day

yeah i mean "light" as in "light treason"

Light as in permanently removed from CEO office, permanently barred from ever serving officer or director of a publicly trading company ever again, as well as multiple $20M fines.

i mean the eron guys went to prison

The Hobart Mercury reported on the opening of an EV charging station in Hobart, Tasmania today. It has nothing to do with Tesla or Elon Musk but they thought this was the best image to illustrate the piece with.

Belongs on the claustrophobic movie posters thread.

For sure, it's like a cross between Back to the Future and Big Trouble in Little China. (Both by Drew Struzen.)

Tunnels are the solution to traffic. You can have as many levels as you want. Usable tunnel depth far exceeds tallest buildings, so would work even for New York or Beijing.

cool start workin

What does the height of buildings have to do with anything??

He is saying if we lower New York completely to the depths of its highest building all the original streets become low level tunnels that we can build upon without needing flying Teslas.

Elon's tweets work better in the context of imagining he just took a massive bongrip prior to posting.

"imagining" the "take stock private at 420" guy taking a bong rip

the height of buildings matters because the only other viable alternative - flying cars - would be obstructed by them.

how you gonna get down to these tunnels? 600 laps down a corkscrew ramp? car lifts?

if only there were some preexisting system for transiting rapidly through cities, in tunnels

Yeah, but that approach is so modest. They should just scoop out the rest of the rock and dirt and make one *big* tunnel. Big problems deserve big solutions!

Did he ever finish his submarine? That, for those who don't know, is a machine that tunnels through *water.*

Can't wait to use the tunnels in New Orleans and Miami.

he just skip the prologue and just get straight to his tunnel from NYC - Shanghai project

just drop people in, fast commute!

what about a pneumatic tunnel that shoots people around without a vehicle

Or better yet, shoot people out to space!

shoot them to mars

seems like all of this could be done more easily with rope and elbow grease

a sling shot

I was thinking a rope and pulley system, but that could probably be enhanced with sling shot modules

a paternoster lift, but for cars

(i didn't mean paternoster, did i. what's the one where you step on and off every floor?)

That’s just a standard pre-bedtime routine to ward off spirits, I think

that's a paternoster

i called him a dumb fuck yesterday and it kinda blew up, had to mute the convo before the stans got there

Elon Musk-rats are some weird fucks

Kinda wish he'd get hit by a truck and have Guy Fieri bake him into some new Flavortown concoction

You’re not going to solve the problem by insisting that people use a form of transportation that is objectively less convenient than cars.

— Regyptian Slut (@RegyptianStrut) September 16, 2020

markets determine correctness; if there are enough rich people who want to drive, they should be allowed to turn the city into a honking traffic sewer for everybody else, there are no other options

The car is so convenient there must be tunnels under other tunnels to conduct them.

(a cursory glance at google was giving me a doorless lift that moved in a continuous loop and went over the top as a paternoster. not what i was after. which they used in mines...)

fuck cars. yeah, now and then I like going for a drive, but one of the things I love about visiting NYC is that I don't gotta rent one, the subways are easy to navigate, cheap, and hey, it's part of the experience.

all we have in Florida is the terrible Lynx bus system and the very limited SunRail. I wish I didn't have to drive.

but it's more important to get somewhere at 1:18 pm than a subway getting you there at 1:25 pm

lmao i love the idea that we can tackle climate change without any sacrifice convenience

clearly the best way to combat climate change it to keep pumping out $80,000 luxury sedans

serious question: is Tesla as a company even carbon neutral??

the car is so convenient, all it asks of us is the melting of the polar ice caps by its byproducts, decades of murderous imperialist policy to provide its fuel, the complete transformation of landscapes at a continental scale to create markets for it, and ongoing mass death caused by its operation by barely-trained amateurs. until you can answer to that unprecedented level of convenience, then *shrug* i guess there's a reason they call elon a genius and YOU'RE a nobody!!
