Why is #RIPElon trending on Twitter in the UK? Could this have confused the algos?

No, the algos are far from perfect but even they are not that stupid! :rolleyes:

Only plausible explanation is the down-trodden shorts got excited by this incredible news they believed was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and piled on with whatever they had left. ;)

Hmmmm, the only problem I have is I might need cash out this month if I buy sub 600, and then it’s going to be wash sale stuff that makes it so I can’t buy for a month.
Dang The irony! Anyone have clever workarounds? Couches are pillaged unfortunately.

Keep in mind the wash sale loss gets added to the cost basis of the new position. So you don’t actually lose that tax loss deduction in a wash sale, it just gets postponed until you sell the newly purchased lot.

Also worth mentioning is it (the loss) gets proportionally distributed between everything you buy in that +/- 30 day window.

Electrek - half hour ago: Tesla launches new social media platform to 'engage' its community and promote policies - Electrek

Excerpt from Tesla:

“Engage Tesla is a new platform for both Tesla’s public policy team and Tesla Owner’s Clubs. Its goal is to create a digital home base for all of our work, and make it easier for Tesla community members to learn what’s top of mind for us, take meaningful action, and stay in the loop. We hope you’ll join us in getting involved.”

Link: Engage Tesla

I registered and am looking forward to Engage Tesla becoming useful source of information from the company.

A couple of minor problems with my registration:

They did not like the name of my YouTube channel: Curt Renz. Perhaps they didn't realize that a YouTube channel could have a two-word name.

They asked for an address so a US representative would know that a commenter resided in his/her district. My US representative and state legislators require a 9-digit zip code to be certain. Yet Tesla Engage would only allow a 5-digit zip code.

Has anyone else had similar difficulties?
