Hard to imagine a downside unless he punches Miley in the face or something. Half of the internet is trying to figure out how to watch NBC right now and that's pretty hilarious.

That headline was written by someone who doesn't know his space literature. Not many facts in that headline.

1. Not a person
2. Not a name
3. DIdn't lead humans
4. Wasn't to Mars
5. WvB would have called himself American

Summary: par for the course for journalism these days.

On edit: did I miss any non-facts, anyone? I suppose I also could have gone after “predict”, because WvB was deliberately writing a work of fiction, and using it to demonstrate the astrophysics of voyaging to Mars. But that would have been casting aspersions on all great sci-fi, which has been so instrumental in demonstrating that what could be possible has a wonderful (and sometimes horrid) likelihood of becoming reality.

My prediction.

Tsla will pop, doge will dive.

People are buying doge thinking there's an Elon skit about it. But like everything speculative, it's all about selling the news.

People will buy Tesla because snl wasn't as bad as feared.

From the opening whistle they jumped out to a nice lead that slowly frittered away by the end of the first half. But they rallied in the second half to break their 4 game losing streak and end the week with some momentum. Almost looked like Tesla of old with a 30 point swing early in the game. It will be interesting to see what the impact on the team will be from Coach Elon appearing on SNL this weekend.

86 minutes in they start talking about Elon's upcoming SNL gig.

Early SNL legends were billed as “not ready for prime time players”. So when did 11:35 on Sat night become “prime time?”

On the left coast, it's pretty common to show SNL at 8:35 and 11:35 with an classic one in between...

Are people here feeling this is an accurate time prediction on his part? Less than 6 days left. The silence of the early access people is deafening. Missing those videos

Latest rumor was that some people already had it but were under NDA.

From the UK’s Guardian, a left-leaning anti-fossil fuel newspaper.

Sadly there are no comments allowed on this stupid piece. Blind, hate filled hypocrisy.

Weekend and you May have time on your hands to watch a documentary (1h30) on the long history of naked short selling continuing to this day

The use of journalists to write hit pieces may sound familiar.

Interesting viewpoint on why the media is so against Tesla. We already know this but still interesting.

We need an angry emote. I mean I or anyone on this thread could argue every one of these points or more if I cared to actually RTA. They clearly wrote the headline first and then the article.

Do Tesla's "trouble" include record deliveries, record profits, etc? I mean I am holding long and I know eventually the stock value will get past all this manipulation but it's still frustrating to watch what has to be just blatant lying going on.

Cue angry, old man yells at clouds computer monitor. I'll just wait until Monday and sell some more CCs to at least make a few bucks off this nonsense.

Any predictions on what the SNL appearance does to the stock price on Monday? LOL, who am I kidding, you know it will drop like a rock based on --------------------- . I'm sure the headline is already written, "Tesla Stock Falls after Elon Musk's ---------- appearance on SNL (ed. try disastrous, off-putting, confused, etc.)"

I am very concerned that this might be a setup, some kind of blindside that might bring the SEC in. There is a very large contingent of media and Hollywood (bad) actors that suffer from EDS. Id' love to be wrong.
