Just want to point out most TSLA bulls still try to avoid Electrek because of Fred.(Me included)

So this poll would be heavily skewed to TSLA bears.

With that in consideration, not bad at all.

Poll people again in 2 weeks and it'll be completely different. Poll people again after the next space flight. What Elon said may be shocking for some but will be forgotten soon enough by his fans. It's like your have this hot and beautiful wife who is awesome 95% of the time but that 5% she drives you crazy...you'll forget the next time she's naked.

Electrek is like BuzzFeed. I love early days of Electrek but now it becomes the personal rant of Fred and becomes very politicalized.
As much as I hate some of the click bait titles from electrek and some of the dumb articles posted, it is still overwhelmingly positive for the transition to sustainable energy. Attacking sources like this is counter productive when the majority of non EV sites are extremely negative toward Tesla. Let's limit our hate toward our allies.

This investing genius has certainly earned the right to have his Tesla opinions in the headlines of all the financial media.

David Einhorn’s hedge funds declined in April even as U.S. stocks had the biggest monthly gain since 1987.

The 1.1% drop added to first-quarter losses, leaving the Greenlight Capital funds down 22% this year, according to an investor update on Thursday viewed by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 Index jumped 13% in the month as unprecedented action by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury helped buoy stocks amid the coronavirus crisis.

Einhorn’s value style of investing has mostly been out of sync with markets for years. He’s still trying to climb out of a hole that started with a 20% loss in 2015 and deepened with his worst decline ever three years later, when the main fund plunged 34%. With this year’s drop, he’d need to return about 93% to get back to where he was at the end of 2014.


Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
Edit: And my favorite financial media, Seeking Alpha, reports Einhorn's Q1 returns exactly backwards.

Greenlight Capital (NASDAQ:GLRE) posts its Q1 letter to highlight its 21.5% return vs. the 19.6% decline of the S&P 500 Index.

I’ve been celebrating Tesla earnings with drinks dude. I just fing googled it. Not going to reply anymore. If you think that a Great Depression is better than a methodical plan to open up the economy than I don’t know what else to say. A quick google search gave me 7 million deaths. I’m not going to write an essay. Those deaths are just from starvation. I’m sure a Great Depression would cause civil unrest, crime through the roof, and ****ing hell. If you think not opening up the economy is better than I don’t know what else to say.

Reference ?

I looked up your claim -- it is conspiracy theory garbage disseminated by the Russian propaganda outlet Pravda.

Here is peer reviewed science:
Life and death during the Great Depression

Way more deaths? We have box trucks being used as morgues. We know where the deaths are coming from.

The population of the world was around 2 billion during the Great Depression so its more of a percentage of deaths. Do you honestly think a Great Depression would be better for the human race than a methodical plan to open up the economy?
@Rammstein, now that you are hopefully more sobered up, can we hope to hold you to your promise?
Myself, I have been mostly staying quiet at home, experiencing the TSLA ride. Please do the same.
(Still several hundred spam msgs behind in search of the pony under all that horse-sugar in this thread.)
