Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[JRP3]

Elon is losing his sh!t More than ever he should be projecting calm leadership and instead we get two days of unhinged tweets? WTF?

 

[Unpilot]

When?

Now...but really any time for the next year or so...then when giga berlin/ giga Texas/ giga giga giga is open it will be too late.

 

[EVDRVN]

Who knows why he is doing this, but if you take all the tweets together, looks like he's super pissed about Fremont being closed. ot sure why he's tanking the stock though. Maybe it's his way of creating pressure?

Because he is a child and runs the company like a child. How long will it take people to wake up to this?

 

[Rammstein]

@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.)

I let it go. I’m not sure why you are bringing this up again. Yes I’m sober I had a couple of drinks. Not sure why that is a big deal. I wasn’t drunk and I was defending my original post which had a lot of people agreeing with me.

The main point is that Elon is trying to get his plant open and he is trying to get public opinion to sway politicians. He’s also worried about small businesses and his suppliers going out of business. I still stand buy that a depression would be way worse for the human race if we don’t open the economy back up. I also think it would cause more deaths over the longterm. I realized that statement would be impossible to prove or disprove so I dropped it.

Cool your engines people. All the times Elon Musk has trash-talked Tesla’s stock price as overvalued

Cool, can we see 'All the times Elon Musk has trash-talked Tesla's stock as part of an unhinged Twitter rant, during market hours, following a deal with the SEC on materiality of tweets, while the factory is shut down during a pandemic'?

 

[cliffski]

Guys its just twitter... People trade like they have OCD. The company is no different now to an hour ago. Tesla stock is cheap at $800. Its hilarious at $720.
Give it till monday and see if he gets any progress on re-opening.

 

[Singuy]

That's fine. Don't screw over the rest of us just because his ego is hurt on social media.

Yeah the better idea is to talk to the board and revise his incentive program, not actively tank the stock and tell American to go f themselves.

 

[LJS22]

Can’t tell if he’s setting up the lawsuit of the century or the bear trap of the century. He better have flying cars after doing this

 

[tachyon]

KEEP CALM
AND
CARRY ON

i just bought May 15 calls on discount (maybe ill lose it all, but if not should be pretty sweet)

 

[hershey101]

He's right... Anyone remember the last time he tweeted this? He gave us a fantastic oppertunity to get long $TSLA after it got cut in half. I don't see it being cut in half again right now, but if it does, oh won't it be glorious?

If someone has the date of the last time he tweeted the stock was too high, please share.

 

[sweter]

Such a troll.

I still love him. But this is gonna end bad, gonna be a carnival weekend in Shortsville run by Shorts Enrichment Commission.

And here I was hoping for re-entry before Battery Day, thank you Elon

 

[woodisgood]

He approaches the things he identifies as problems with a lot of passion (which can result many positive things but also some erratic behavior). Right now he has some major issues with the way this pandemic is being handled and if you don't think he'll double down on his position especially while being attacked or misunderstood for it, you just don't know Elon.

I wish he could understand that this will be used against him, and I believe his enemies are starting get a very clear picture of how exactly to do that.

down $61 so far....I have always been in the belief that gaining any money off of investing in a better future was just extra, but damn, what a way to knock a good thing down.....

How so? Elon is bananas right now, but he can't express an opinion on the SP as CEO?

$TSLA omg!!! I just got plain lucky when I sold 250+ Long Term Tesla calls yesterday and went hundred percent cash wow!!!

 

[Chunky Jr.]

It's pretty clear they aren't planning on doing another round of fund raising as some speculated after the earnings call.

 

[Chocochip]

inb4 "Elon is playing 3D chess!"

 

[printf42]

TSLA is a gift that keeps giving.

Just learn the lesson and only play short term with play money.

And, BTFD then get off the ticker.

Above are note to my future self, not advice.

I pretty much totally agree with you, except that I have yet to see a single constructive thing in this week-long tantrum. It tells me he likely has no special insights here (yet) and is resorting to denying the problem instead. If he/the company have a plan, they should release it, make their claims in public, and put substantive pressure on local authorities. Instead he is singing the anthem on twitter, sigh.
