Below $120 and heading for $110 rapidly, is it?

remember that Elon-as-Thanos meme with Tesla's stock price that was being passed around the week after he bought Twitter? it's down another 50% since then lmao

Tesla stock price is too high imo

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2020

It was at $46.75 when he tweeted that. I guess with some effort he can get it back down under that.

46.75 and it's split at least once since then too

$46.75 is the split adjusted price

And you have tiny testicles!

I don't know if I've seen this posted here before - most of it is just "working with Elon is 50% managing Elon", but the final anecdote is too good to miss

https://www.tumblr.com/numberonecatwinner/701567544684855296/elon-wyd

This post is long so I’ll leave you with my favorite Elon story. One day at work, I got an all hands email telling me that it was Elon’s birthday and there was going to be a mandatory surprise party for him in the cafeteria. Presumably Elon also got this email, but whatever. We all marched down into the cafeteria, dimmed the lights, and waited. Elon was led out by his secretary (who he hadn’t fired yet) and made a big show of being fake surprised and touched that we were there. Then they wheeled out the cake.

OK, so, I want you to imagine the biggest penis cake you’ve ever seen. Like the king of novelty sex cakes. Only it’s frosted white, and the balls have been frosted to look like fire and smoke. This was Elon’s birthday “rocket” cake.

For as long as I live, I will never forget the look on everyone’s face — in that dark room of mostly-male engineers — when he made a wish and cut into the tip.

For the uninitiated, Musk makes this ask at the end of every quarter to boost sales and make up for the general chaos that is Tesla. https://t.co/LELIdCZP33

Based on the agreement Elon Musk signed to help fund his Twitter purchase, he has experienced his first margin call because of Tesla's stock-price declines. https://t.co/TUjt6sQ7GH

i know this is a boring opinion but i just cant bear him

ugh omg go home nobody wants to play with you

69D Chess

NiceD

to be clear, there is not. he just did not take out a tesla margin loan to buy twitter - thought about it, did not do it. (that said, he had previously pledged shares to secure personal indebtedness, who knows what's up with that.)

lol yeah i kind of knew that i still wanted to post it though the fake news of our desires

maybe we can do a citizens margin call

look this is America, people like Elon will never cease to be indefensibly rich. if Trump taught us one thing it's that with the right combination of luck and rich parents you can be in a spot where you cannot fail no matter how much you fuck up. you can even steal national security secrets and plot to overthrow the government and nothing will happen. the only time in your life you could ever possibly face a consequence is by defrauding someone even richer than you. that said none of this really matters because Elon is so clearly a miserable sod who so desperately wants to be funny and well-liked but he just doesn't have the ability to. decades of being spoiled and rich has left him utterly unable to form a single original thought and it drives him crazy. I mean this dude could be doing literally anything he wants to and instead he's just namesearching himself on Twitter and replying "So true!" to guys who couldn't even hack it in Trump's White House. he's the most cringe human being that's ever existed.

Pretty solid Musking™️ from Tesla here. Choking on inventory, slash the price $7,500, collect cash from buyers (juice the Dec 31 cash balance), then delay delivery, revoke the cash and SC mile incentives (might as well get the margins back up while we’re at it) and send a bill. pic.twitter.com/po5uONIXzI

lol owned

The margin loan issue is interesting. If he did, he’d might, surprisingly, be in a better spot since there’d be some finality. The worst thing he can do is let Twitter slowly drain Tesla.

I’ve been asking everyone I know who might know something whether Musk has been shopping Twitter. Nobody has heard anything. That’s so insane to me. I’m positive there’s a deal somewhere. Most people think the lack of any discussion is because of the FTC (and the European regulatory body whose name I forgot) and/or a belief that we’re about to enter the worst recession of our lives (see that billionaire bomb shelter article from a few months back).

Or, the woke mind virus is not yet defeated.

kind of wondered when the $7500 was contingent on taking delivery by December 31st if they actually had any cars ready to deliver. seems like an insane bait and switch

there oughta be a law o wait

They only announced the deal on 12/22 knowing snowstorms were imminent.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/tesla-offers-7500-discount-on-cars-delivered-before-2023

that also assumes that the cars exist and are shippable

can’t delay the shipment of a nonexistent car due to snow, but you can say you did

thats some real scumbag shit wow

how much do you think he could get for it tho a quarter of what he paid, an eighth

tbh I assumed they had a handful of cars to clear out and knew they’d be oversold/underdelivered

Seems most likely
