You already know I don't want no stinking island.
I asked for evidence that Mr. Zipper was doing this to intentionally harm Tesla but none was forthcoming. But you know me, I'm usually the first to call out FUDsters.
I continue to think that Tesla's operations will continue uninterrupted, but policy makers in California are certainly sounding the alarm:
"California’s intensive care units could be overloaded by the middle of December, and its hospitals could be dangerously close to full by Christmas, according to sobering projections that Gov. Gavin Newsom presented on Monday.
...
“If these trends continue, California will need to take drastic action,” Mr. Newsom said during a virtual briefing, adding that more severe restrictions, including full stay-at-home orders, could come within the next few days.
...
Officials had spent the weekend talking with local leaders and health care providers about their concerns, said Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s secretary of health and human services, who also spoke during the Monday briefing.
“Everything is on the table, in terms of how we guide the state through this,” he said. “And we want to make sure what we do is impactful and as time-limited as possible.”"

Tesla's status as essential will likely continue to keep it exempt from any statewide "stay at home" orders issued by the Governor, and hopefully the work Tesla did earlier this year was enough to establish a rapport with local health officials and keep them exempt from local measures should Alameda county really want to bring the hammer down. But appointed and elected officials are certainly capable of making poor decisions, so I wouldn't rule a shutdown out.
Did you lose some of your position?
Anyway, I don't expect it will have any significant impact. If you look at the Bing COVID tracker you will see the number of new cases peaked before Thanksgiving on 11/21/2020. I suspect this is due in part due to increased testing before Thanksgiving travel plans. Only time will tell but I think the rates will start going down over the next two weeks. There might be a small spike this week from Thanksgiving transmission but it's unlikely to have an impact on Tesla employees ability to run the factory.
For what it's worth, case data has been interrupted by the Thanksgiving holiday. Other metrics, primarily hospitalizations, have not, and point to a continued increase in transmission. It will take a few days / weeks for the case data to catch up. This phenomenon occurred around Labor Day as well.
Interesting how this happens. I assumed any IV change would occur immediately on open, as the big news happened overnight. The buzzsaw up-down activity shows strong will to move, plus common sense says that just one low-volume afternoon should not impact one's predictions for the next few weeks.
I always believed Gaylord Perry was the greatest control pitcher of all time. Many would argue, he cheated. Spitballs and whatnot. Kind of like TSLA market makers.
Impressive control, nevertheless.
Impressive control, nevertheless.
$TSLA stock drops as America thinks Elon's on Jerry Springer...

I've been watching the Max Pain chart and noticed that cluster--hard not to.
I think the SP will pop and they'll only be able to stop it from capping 600 by end of the week, and the puts will rise to match and make it slightly less painful.
I think maybe only retail, and some funds bought last week. I think there are still some front runners, or people who match the SP500 yet to buy in, since they didn't have a set schedule before about inclusion, same with the people actually in the SP500 who can't really toggle their holdings until they learn how exactly they need to trim with whichever company is getting the boot, and other holdings to meet the weight requirements.
Not sure if this was posted earlier but if you want to watch Elon live at the Axel Springer Award 2020

How much buying pressure pushed us to $580? How much buying pressure is remaining in the inclusion? I don't know the exact answer to those two questions but I'm positive that the latter is far larger than the former.
Is that Space Karen?

How about this one: https://twitter.com/DavidZipper/status/1275052286943866880
Mr. Zipper's other Slate posts are all about having people leave cars, so he has an ax to grind with anything that shifts the public preference in the other direction.

These little manufactured $5 dips are super cute. I'm sitting here with my finger on the SELL button waiting for ANY dip below $580 to liquidate my entire position. Because that's what you do 2 weeks before someone's gonna buy 1/8 of the float. Obviously.
Musk would consider merging with another auto company.
Makes sense really. Following FrankSG's blog post about how many shares the market makers hold as part of their delta hedging, with the S&P's decision to make the inclusion happen in just one tranche, the Dec 4th and Dec 11th options should now not be as interesting. So traders front-running the index should be closing their call Dec 4th and 11th call options now. When that happens, the market makers can sell their delta-hedged shares. The fact that the shares aren't dropping like a rock is probably due to those same call sellers trading their options for shares due to how expensive options have gotten.
