Tell a Judge in any American courtroom that you intend to represent yourself Pro Per and he will immediately explain that you should hire an attorney. That is foundational organized labor. MOD: Next such blatant violation of Mod notice gets you a ban.

Would you extend that same reasoning to other labor organizations? Say the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association?

I enjoy the benefits of a Union-negotiated retirement. It would indeed be hypocritical of me to criticize Unions. That said, one of the fundamental tenets of unionism is build living wages and benefits. I would never ask a worker to accept reduced wages and benefits to join a union.

Having spent years as an inspector in West Los Angeles, I learned several irrefutable truths: 1. U.S. Presidents visit West LA frequently, Obama and Trump as well. I know because of the impact on traffic caused by their visits. 2. The rich and famous of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and surrounding...

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. Mark Twain

NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE TESLA SHOULD ADVERTISE TO SELL CARS. YES, I BELIEVE TESLA SHOULD CREATE A REALITY-BASED NARRATIVE TO COUNTER FUD.

Bob Guccione discussing virtual sex on the Phil Donahue Show in 1994… Phil commented: “When an unemployed steel worker can sit at home and have sex with Claudia Schiffer, this will make crack cocaine seem like decaffeinated coffee.”

I am an investor in Tesla’s “Master Plan.” Elon’s statement’s have altered the path of that plan. As a shareholder, I would like to see a full-throated, compelling, persuasive description of his vision.

I have obsessively tracked TSLA for nearly ten years; this is the day I will always remember.

Tesla’s “Master Plan” is mankind’s best reasoned remedy for climate change. I invest in the Master Plan — all these market gyrations — they are of little consequence. Yes, I realize this is an investment thread, but if we cannot remedy climate, then it is truly “hang on for dear life.” Market...

Mr. O’Dowd, as CEO of a software company serving the automotive industry, what is your opinion of Tesla reprogramming their chips during the chip shortage?

And so it begins… https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/renaults-2021-worldwide-group-sales-fall-45-2022-01-17/ Renault, whose Chief Executive Luca de Meo has moved from a strategy of chasing volume to creating value, said sales of passenger cars and light vehicles fell 4.5% to...

Just a little a little shout out to the good people of Tonga… This is catastrophic. Hopefully all are well..

We have discussed the macro economy and how it may affect Tesla’s share price. I have always viewed Tesla as an anomaly, a black swan that will disrupt nearly every aspect of the world economy. If Tesla is indeed the 800 pound gorilla in the room, might Tesla’s Q4 earnings be the seminal event...

Worst run state in the country? Hollywood for more than a century has led the motion picture industry — can you recall a depression or recession that has affected the movie industry? Disney has led the cartoon and amusement park industry for decades. Silicon Valley has led the evolution of...

One of favorite movies is “Lilies of the Field.” I’ve never thought of Sidney Poitier without thinking of him singing the song Amen. Rest In Peace Sidney

Elon may have 99 problems, a lack of attention ain’t one of ‘em.

Any of you guys planning/writing a book on Tesla investing? My apologies, Nassim has it covered...

In the simplest terms, Elon’s problem is battery supply. In the coming months/year Tesla will have the financial means to solve battery production. It begs the question. How will Tesla do it?

Might it be the endowment effect. Tesla is on the precipice of disrupting the fossil fuel and automotive industries. People and organizations across the world are vested in these industries; they are fighting for their lives. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/endowment-effect.asp

Dropping all subsidies would require an entire reset of the American political system; an abandonment of political lobbying. Radical idea, I like it.

I’ve been following Grail. To that point, I’ve been following the merger between Illumina and Grail. I like to invest in companies where I can experience their products, I took Grail’s “Galleri” blood test. The test checks for fifty different types of cancer. The idea being that when cancer is...

It boggles my artificial intelligence, considering what may develop in the next few years.

Over the years, I have posted on this site that I view Tesla’s “Master Plan” as a fight between the fossil fuel industry and remedying climate change—a knife fight. Melodramatic, you betcha. That said, every time I get on a Southern California freeway, I witness a flowing river of gasoline...

I pulled this off the Internet, it must be true.

Canceling All Subsidies… The two certainties of life, death and taxes; in my experience, politicians can be counted on, with certainty, to maximize taxes. Doesn’t canceling subsidies have the effect as assessing new taxes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m confusing revenue and expenditures, but doesn’t...

“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” Winston Churchill With all the tact and charm I can muster, “Ms. Barra, I genuinely hope you and GM enjoy your trip.”

So I went to a party tonight, a pretty interesting group of folks. I would say half hard core conservative Republican, and half hard core liberal Democrats. When I walked in, the conversation turned to Elon Musk. Honest to goodness it wasn’t me who brought the subject up. One fellow mentions...
