He's kind of acting like a vulture capitalist but forgetting the part where you extract money from the thing before you kill it. He's gone in reverse, he can never get out of it anything close to what he put into it. Stripped for parts, what's Twitter worth? I guess he could, like, auction off Lady Gaga's DMs or something.

I'm no expert on management but running a poll to establish whether you should stay in charge of things seems an incredibly stupid thing to do, how would you build employee trust after that?

Tesla down 4% since opening. Rapidly approaching $140. I wonder when the margin calls kick in.

yeah I gotta imagine it's somewhere around the 125-130 mark. pretty significant because Elon would lose an insane amount of cash should that actually happen

do ultra-rich people and hedge funds ever really get margin calls these days? assumed that was a tool used to punish small investors trying to horn in on profits from the backroom deals the big boys have made

the margin calls are made by banks or other financial businesses that are bigger than the hedge funds and ultra-rich, and they don't take kindly to losing money they don't have to lose. it's the legal (and politer) form of the lender breaking the arm of the debtor to encourage prompt payment.
