    I find it hilarious that most media outlets blame the fall on Leon not being present at Tesla, when it’s his very existence that has caused things to plummet. The last thing he should do is return to Tesla. The board should fire his ass and try to rebuild what’s left of the brand.

    Elon had to stop the regulatory investigations into him. He had to keep himself out of jail. We wanted to secure more government contracts to tower projects.

    Tesla was a means to an end for Elon, and Elon doesn’t care at all about anyone except himself.

    And Elon took care of anyone in the government who could enforce the rules that were supposed to enforce procedures with stock and loans.

      This result has probably been priced in since it hit the current floor in March. The bump after the report is likely because there were no bombshells in it. They’re saying they’re still on track for all the vaporware that the valuation is based on. It will drop again when they’re inevitably delayed and it becomes clear the robots and AI taxis aren’t revolutionary but just exactly what other companies already beat them to.

    The stock is pretty flat despite the bump over the winter. It’s approximately the same as it was last fall. Can’t believe it went up relative to Muskrat’s involvement in politics.

    No worries. All our tax money is just going to have Donald golfing, Tesla Cyberstucks, and Space X.
