It is an effective way to silence those who try to say Elon is a stock hyping huckster doing a pump and dump.

I think one would be foolish to think that social media comments are not at least partially motivated by a desire to affect the stock price.... Elon Musk included, as unpopular as that statement may be.
The only thing that struck me as very optimistic, was the revenue for the semi in 2018. I sure hope you are correct!

Assuming his intent would be to positively affect the stock price, why would he repeatedly say something likely to negatively affect the stock price? I really don't think Elon's tweets are intended to change the stock price at any point in time.

Most CEOs do not comment on the stock price.
And say their focus is on running the business.
Not the stock price.
Elon would do well to follow that standard
And not help the shorts in discrediting the
Value.
never heard jeff bezos talk down amazons stock price.

That is probably what Tesla should inform drivers before they turn it on. I don't think many people realize this, even though it should be as obvious as it is with cruise control.

SP minus ~$10, CNBC has the video of Elon saying that the SP "is higher than we have any right to deserve". Nasdaq is green. No other reason for the dip.
Doesn't bother me. But I disagree with Curt's comments that this was a good way for Elon to handle the question.

For deniability. The same reason his internal "memo" regarding the discounts on vehicles at the end of last year was "leaked". Elon Musk is a man of many facets (public and private non withstanding), and, I believe, extremely intelligent. I think he knows exactly what he's doing, and I think he knows exactly what he's saying (how that will affect stock price and how he hope's that will affect stock price). I'm not saying there is wrong or right here. But taking his chirps at face value of simply interacting with the public is foolish in my opinion.

Regarding the alleged autopilot-caused accident and flip-over: it's as if an airline pilot whose plane is at 20,000-ft and headed straight towards a 25,000-ft mountain, is showing off autopilot to friends in the cockpit, puts the plane in autopilot ON mode and they watch as they all fly into the mountain, and then the media then blame the plane's autopilot for flying the plane into the mountain.
Apparently, my stock portfolio is at too high a value for me to reasonably expect. This is not intended to be a joke!

This is so funny - I feel like I'm in a cartoon. I'm so used to this type of trading - brings back memories of Steve jobs and apple era. I've increased my leap position today. Bring on next Friday.

My theory - he needs to go to the capital markets (2 new giga factories, new production lines, new tooling for new vehicles). If the under writers are telling him that the most we can get per share to raise Y billions of dollars is X, and if X << current SP, he needs to talk the SP down or current holders will be really po'd when they offer Z millions of shares at X.
