So here is a random thought... Throw it into the outlandish conspiracy theory bucket...
...
Totally unbelievable, right?

Couldn't have said it better.
OK, this has been quite a discussion about CV-19, but I think this thread was about Elon putting his foot in his mouth.
To that end, I read somewhere that when Elon posted that he thought the stock price was too high (quickly followed by a diminution of the stock) he, in fact, stopped the trigger for his $750 million bonus, for the stock price reaching certain levels and staying above for a certain amount of time. So as upset as average stockholders might be, he lost MUCH more from that tweet than anyone else.
The comment was that by doing this he saved the Tesla Q2 results from being depressed from paying him that amount in stock. Q2 being the quarter that will be MOST affected by the outbreak and lockdown. This may mean that Q2 profits, when we get there, may have positive results. This would mean 4 quarters of profit, a prerequisite for S&P admission. Joining the S&P will do a LOT to cement Tesla as a real company increasing its success at accomplishing its mission.
The quote was something like Elon is playing 3D chess while we are all playing checkers. Then you couch it in terms of a CEO upset over the business being on lockdown and he can tweet w/o SEC investigation.
That seems very clever if it's the case.

No need to admit to a pack lies. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld restrictions on gun sales. Think you would have a big problem convincing the court that the recent restrictions have some kind of hidden agenda regarding firearm sales.Let's see, forbid firearm sales, close churches, arrest anyone protesting, restrict speech, sure sounds like an odd Constitutional Republic to me. Perhaps it's more like North Korea's Democratic Republic.
Just because you agree with the suspension of civil rights doesn't mean it's Constitutional. Why people can't admit to it is curious.
Who knows? Just kept hearing that he had botched his bonus by doing it. If that were true and he put the company on a better footing by doing it I would not be upset. He may also be upset with California and about to move to Texas so he can be near the new Terafactory as they ramp up. These could all be positive business decisions. Just trying to be the silver lining guySo, Randy do you think Elon fell on his sword to help secure Tesla’s position and all of the rants about having to sell all of his possessions and the Star Spangled Banner were contrived?

You are too late. The inferno by Dan Brown has exactly that plot. Also a movie if you prefer.So here is a random thought... Throw it into the outlandish conspiracy theory bucket...
What if someone in the world was deeply concerned that overpopulation had led to man-made climate change and future generations would find the planet nearly uninhabitable and the only way out is to shut down manufacturing, transportation, and reduce the global population? What if they had hundreds of deadly viruses in a lab and figured out which one would reduce the elderly population but preserve youth and cause society to shut themselves down to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Totally unbelievable, right?
Well, I just now read a synopsis. Not exactly the same, but close, yeah.You are too late. The inferno by Dan Brown has exactly that plot. Also a movie if you prefer.
thanks I'll see what is up*
here is what I was relating
Could the lockdown have side-effects no one has considered? | The Spectator
*Some basic background information and technical explanation on how they can or want to fight viruses
A somewhat painful presentation, but thanks for the link.
Hopefully it all remains fiction...Yeah, the movie version is a virus. Just saw the movie and forgot the book slightly different.
The child was named A12?He’s definitely under stress with the business and with the new baby due today.

Tesla is filing a lawsuit against Alameda County immediately. The unelected & ignorant “Interim Health Officer” of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms & just plain common sense!
Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.
