Elon Musk

if true at those inflation rates that’s funny for simply being so obviously catchable. i mean car nerds can be pretty merciless with their personal data capture imo. in fact one reason i def doubt these q’s is that it woulda been caught long ago?

could be new

the stupidest possible explanation is that its tracking kilometers and calling them miles

hmm. that wld be dumb. remember that mars probe that crashed because its measures calcs had inconsistent imperial/metrics standards? the possibility of a km/mi problem at tesla is somehow proof that elmo should def keep his sights aiming for his personal mars mission or whatever.

tesla earnings call today; excited for new lies

elo "x" musg currently having a public spat with the Australian Government re defending Twitter's right to circulate video of a stabbing in a church

there will be no winners here, the govt will accuse him of being a lousy corporate citizen, he will get a little elon hard-on about it and cry 'censorship' & 'freedom' - perhaps statistically insignificant number of bozos might decide they want him to be next President of the USA

but the main effect will be to render the Tesla brand even more fucking toxic

oh lol I just saw that tweet about Australian sales figures quoted above, maybe he was just looking to act out and this gave him an opportunity

One of the EV YouTube channels I follow posted their "we lost Cronkite" video on their dismal cybertruck experience. Yeah, sure, a software update will suddenly give your CT locking differentials.

maybe teslas are measuring every bump in the road
like the freshmen physics troll of measuring the land-sea boundary

"The company’s shares are weathering the longest rout since late 2022, tumbling nearly 19% over the past seven days"

I'm going to guess Taylor's people didn't return his call

I checked and she's still with ornaldo bloomps and probably not having surrogate children with Elon but who can tell

Great car

"the car is now in Fred Flintstone mode"

tbf you could buy a much more expensive metal brick

why did the stock go up when their numbers are bad?

mustve been not quite as bad as expected, also its just gone down a lot recently

maybe this too lol

e.w. niedermeyer @niedermeyer.io
Big takeaway from the Tesla earnings call is that Elon doesn't want to do anything to shore up sales, because he'd rather try to use the idle GPUs in parked Teslas as a distributed AI supercomputer... which doesn't make sense, but even if it did, it would still be stealing from your customers.

hes still got it baby

juicing the stock 10% with an extremely vague "announcement" re: an affordable car shipping in a few months. got to hand it to him,

he is honestly amazing at this stuff tesla would absolutely be out of business now were it not for his grifting

part of the decline pre-earnings was due to rumors that tesla was trashing its low-cast EV project, but then elon reversed course during the actual announcement

i also think some of the gain is probably due to short-covering (which creates buying pressure)

does this short-covering mean that those traders lost out -- because they were gambling on the price falling further than it did -- or that they've made the profit they wanted so they don't care

or does it all depend?

fun fact they probably juiced yesterdays results with some accounting tricks related to one off FSD income. that will become clear tomorrow when they file a 10-Q. expect a drop tomorrow imo.

Mr guess Musk saw that episode of Silicon Valley where they used the cpus in the refrigerators and just figured he could do that with his cars.

based on what the stock price has done in the past couple of months i think it's a decent chance the short sellers made some money

is tsla a meme stock yet

has been all along

Tesla has benefited enormously from Chinese EV subsidies. Its numbers will be a lot worse if those go away.

This is a social media post by Dustin Moskowitz, founder of Asana and Facebook billionaire:

I know I sound crazy to most people who don't follow $TSLA closely but at this point it really needs to be said. This is Enron now, folks.

It may keep going, but people are going to jail at the end. The data is presented in fraudulent ways, and it doesn't say what they claim it says even when they make it up.

Tesla has committed consumer fraud on a massive scale, from lying about FSD, ranges and (recently, unconfirmed!) even inflating odometers.

Many times now, also securities fraud.

ive been saying that for years and im still not a billionaire

Was your dad a billionaire? If not that could be a problem

shit i dont think he is but ill ask

If you've actually met him, he's probably not one

The Man Who Met His Dad

yeah I've been reading a lot of well-sourced substacks and blogposts arguing as much. like sure Elon is admittedly pretty skilled at pumping the stock price up but there's way more internal fraud going on than that, Tesla's internals have just never added up, the question is how long they can keep it going. I mean I thought this was all gonna come crumbling down years ago.

If Musk wasn't so tied into the Military Industrial Complex it would probably have come tumbling down a lot faster.

feel like you have to run out of money before a massive corporate fraud collapses, until then you might get some fines or whatever, i guess there could be some smoking gun document that says i elon am doing massive corporate fraud but outside that i think it keeps rolling until it cant anymore, like repeatedly promising full self driving and whatnot is so blatantly fraudulent and no one cares hes doing right in public

bare minimum their branding of "full self-driving" and "autopilot" should be a FTC case for deceptive marketing

President Keyes otm, as much as I'm loath to give him credit for anything at all, making sure his space company got into bed with the US military was the smartest thing he ever did, allowing him to get away with a lot of shit.

Musk vs United Launch Alliance (a.k.a. Boeing & Lockheed Martin) had been an ongoing fight for almost a decade and it was something SpaceX absolutely could not lose. I'll never credit Musk for anything, but I still believe that in the long run - his fights with ULA and the National Automobile Dealers Association are probably more significant than any of his companies.

I for sure thought the Tesla Solar Roof class-action was going to be the start of the domino fall.

I was kinda thinking the only thing Tesla really made money on was the carbon offset trading and the bitcoin shenanigans. Those two things I know were pointed out in a couple of their good reports in why the books were doing good in the salad days.

does musk believe in anthropogenic climate change? today he posted a 2000s facebook meme about greta thunberg wanting communism today.

today i'm gonna rock you today

Robotaxis will be the equivalent of 40% of US GDP any day now

Robotaxis will generate 8-10 Trillion in revenues in 2030, half of which will go to platforms like Tesla $TSLA says Cathie Wood
