Ah yes, because you'll want potential employers to see your unhinged social media posts 🙃
Is Instagram good for recruitment?


If your business is looking to recruit the next generation of millennials, Instagram is the place to start. Even if millennials are not your target market, Instagram is still a highly effective recruitment platform that attracts all ages.
Also, could start as ads with links in your feed.

Jury sucks. What does "funding secured" mean if there's not a deal on paper?
"Considering" clearly means something which may or may not happen, there is no requirement for signed documents when thinking about something. There was never any question that Elon could have gotten the funding if he decided to follow through with this "speculation" about taking Tesla private. The jury made the correct decision.

Now a bunch of CEOs need to come out and say that <insert large company here> is "considering" acquiring their company for $X per share. Could pump up the stock price a bit, even if the news is later proven false, and they won't get in trouble because that word apparently means nothing.
 
There's quite the gap between your filtered sunset photos and your unhinged rants against the rightwing/leftwing media, wef, covid vaccines, etc.

Edit: I see our resident good natured rascal is still abusing the down vote button 🤡
Eh. I wouldn't take it personally. If you're not getting down votes then you're not taking enough chances.
 
Some people are acting like some types of reactions increment your reaction score and some decrement it, but it's my understanding that ALL reactions increment your reaction score.
In any case, a negative reaction is not and should not be a reflection on how one feels about another person, rather how they feel about that post.

Embrace the thumbs down and do better!

Interesting false narrative you created. Facts: The share price was rising sharply before Elon tweeted because of reports of Saudi interest. Also since neither Elon nor Tesla sold shares after the "Pump" what would be the point of "pumping the stock"? Timeline:

People forget (or don't know) the sequence of events on Aug 07, 2018: My comment #65,409

"TSLA jumped from the low 340s to the high 350s in the morning of Aug 8 after the Financial Times broke the story (12:18 pm EST) of the $2B Saudi investment in Tesla.​
"The SP only ran up another $6 after Elon's tweet (12:48 pm EST) before NASDAQ halted trading, but the SP was increasing rapidly anyway. The tweet acted as confirmation of Saudi interest in Tesla."​

The Event timeline:
Here is an annotated Google chart of TSLA share price during the time in question:

View attachment 903216

As anyone can plainly see, more than half of the share price jump happened after the Financial Times broke the story, but BEFORE Elon's tweet. Yes, 30 mins after the FT story, Elon confirmed it's validity, so naturally further TSLA buying interest appeared.

But clearly, it was the FT news of the Saudi PIF buying TSLA stock that initiated the SP jump on Aug 7, 2018, NOT Elon's tweet.

Did anybody see what happend to $LCID stock Jan 27, 2023 on the rumor that the Saudi PIF would buy out the remainder of Lucid's shares? That was a 100% pop going from $9 to $18, and causing the exchange to halt trading 9 separate times. Note that TSLA shares only rose a max ~9% (from $340 to $370) after the Saudi news on Aug 7, 2018.

Yeah, the decision felt technically correct. It was still a bone-headed gratuitous tweet though.

I wasn't suggesting it was a pump and dump. More like plain old financial statement fraud. As for motive, given that he didn't personally sell any shares after making the statement, well, Elon's whined about people shorting TSLA for many years...

A jury UNANMOUSLY found both Musk and the Board of Directors were not liable in a CIVIL lawsuit (FAR lower threshold to be found guilty/liable than in a criminal case). As in, not a SINGLE juror sided with the plaintiffs. That speaks volumes, especially after some interviewed potential jurors had called Musk narcissistic, etc.

Literally, CASE CLOSED.
 
Musk claimed Twitter will have less advertising revenue in the future. That means less money to share with content creators. No details yet on how much traffic it would take to cover the $8 monthly fee.

Elon Musk will share Twitter ad revenue — but only with creators who pay for Twitter Blue

Currently, subscribing to Blue will cost you $8 per month if acquired directly via its site or $11 per month from Apple’s App Store or Google Play, but the cheapest version is an annual subscription directly from Twitter for $84. It’s unclear how many viral tweets it would take to pay that off, but it could be difficult given Twitter’s rocky relationship with advertisers right now.
