You were talking about Musk spending time away from Tesla. You pointed out Key Man risk and his absence. My response related to your actual post.
It would be more akin to doing a short sale on an underwater mortgage. If the banks think they are going to lose money and they can get a guarantee of $xx cash on their debt they may be willing to bargain.
So it’s a mistake you feel he needs to wear for the rest of his life, all the way to his grave? And because you didn’t see him apologize that’s it for you?
So I can assume you’ve sold all your TSLA because someone of your character wouldn’t invest in a company of someone of that character, right? And your continued presence *here* is because, why? I mean, if you’ve said your peace about this person of such horrible judgement and character what more is there for you here? Help me understand the hypocrisy.
It's a perfectly valid reply, I'm sorry you don't like it. The market didn't react to Elon focusing on SpaceX, probably because they were mostly unaware. The Twitter distraction has obviously gotten quite a bit of press. So unlike working on Raptors for SpaceX the market now sees a publicly distracted Elon who's clearly not focusing on Tesla. I think this reduces the perception of Key Man risk.
The ICBMs were specifically before he started SpaceX! It was after he failed in that, that he decided to start his own company with the goal for low cost space flight (with Mars Colony always being the eventual target). As it relates to the original point (recruiting), most of the employees came at much later stages of the company.
The ICE conversion (Roadster) you talk about was just a stepping stone that already demonstrated an attractive long range EV was possible. I saw the first one at Tesla's first auto show in SF and that was how I got started with following Tesla. I think it is fair to say it was inspirational to a lot of people here.
The only long term goal you laid out is less banning, that hardly is inspirational or innovative.

And no sign that the desperation work at Twitter will end any time soon
There is even a off topic galore thread under this subforum and a Russia/Ukraine thread where the discussion has long ago no longer been as it relates to TSLA. The theory you propose clearly does not apply and this is very much not the first thread to be this case.
I never shouted.
it’s also not a Musk worship thread. Perhaps there could be one for that labelled “Fanboy Choir” or similar....
Complaining here will not change anything Elon does.
That could be saying back up your words with action.
Musk cannot switch his political views back unless his company is on the brink of bankruptcy and is still this underdog trying to change the industry. Now that he has succeeded, his wealth blew up to the point of being attacked constantly by the anti-billionaires. The guy sold off all possessions, tank company stocks just to pay taxes, and work 120hrs/week and yet he "doesn't pay his fair share" and "his companies only survives on government subsides". Unless Elon gives up 95% of his wealth driving Tesla stock to near zero in the process, that party who used to cheer for him will want nothing but wish everything he has implodes.
How many high profile FUD stories were published about the other stocks?
A friend of mine knows one who deliberately avoided Tesla and bought another brand of EV.
