And, during this time when Elon sold, the manips—I know how you relish that term —thought they were in control.On the surface the anger and upset over this turn of events seems warranted in the same way that the whole taking private and funding secured anger seemed warranted, until in hindsight, when all the information came to light, it wasn’t and all the jumping to conclusions made certain people look like spoiled children.
So for now I’ll do what I always do and not take it personal, and wait until all the facts reveal themselves down the road, at which point I’m confident all that gets revealed will show that he did it the best way possible.
When the tailwind of Elon’s share sales dies away, then what for the shorts? Welcome to the "Roaring Forties" of the stock world—and don’t let the pavement hit you on the way down (yeah, yeah admixture of metaphors—very combustible that).
