I love that TSLAQ joke. When someone asked TSLAQ how they are doing, they shrugged and said they are doing OK. They have less money than yesterday, but they'll have more money than tomorrow.

I don't know why they would. Why do companies in general choose to go public?
But I would love to get some shares.
With the risky business of space travel SpaceX would probably be even more volatile than TSLA so perhaps the shorts brigade would get another favourite and let TSLA become more stable?
Would owning SpaceX shares give my family the ability to jump the queue when planning a holiday on Mars?

It might not be a bad idea to put in a covered call at $950. You can probably get an added $20 per hundred shares and if it doesn't hit, you got a free $2000. I do think we may be due for a big breakout, but if you have an exit point you won't regret...
Cheers to the longs today. Nice rally.

Does anyone know if ValueAnalyst on twitter sold his TSLA? I haven't seen any shoe-eating posts since he came back from his temporary ban.

Because getting to Mars will be VERY expensive. By the time it happens, it would be the biggest IPO in history by a mile.
Agree with you on Starlink (depending on how things go).

This one is pretty well known, Elon's stated his position on this years ago. He said SpaceX will NOT go public before they are doing routine flights between Earth and Mars (it's too risky during development, and he doesn't want to lose other people's money).
The reason they WILL go public is if they need capital to finance the City on Mars. Elon said that is his only reason for accumulating personal wealth, and he could well be the world's first trillionaire by the time the last tranch of his Tesla CEO compensation package vests.
That's only 1 trillion, which won't pay for a city on Mars (think 'Order of Magnitude' more costly). Hence, that was the motivation for the original position of taking SpaceX public.
However, I don't think he'll need too. 2 words: Asteroid Mining.
NASA Will Reach Unique Metal Asteroid Worth $10,000 Quadrillion Four Years Early
Think of Starship with a Boring Company TBM in its belly as a cosmic piggy bank, waiting to boldly go into its autonomous asteroid mining future.
Cheers!

But really how do WE get a job where I get to be so badly wrong and still keep my job. I can barely tell people the time on the clock without management having to verify with a consultant.

I can't even remember the last time there was an Autopilot crash report in the media, despite there being an exponential increase in the number of Teslas on the road using Autopilot. That's my only takeaway from this. Congratulations to Andrej and the team on the amazing progress.

After a flurry of speculation in Feb, the latest word we have on a Starlink IPO came from SpaceX Chief Operating Officer Gwynn Shotwell on Mar 10, 2020:
"COO Gwynne Shotwell said she's not thinking about a SpaceX IPO of its Starlink satellite business right now, echoing earlier remarks from CEO ..."

As usual, AJ is behind the news.

I'm sorry you are not happy today but the car was being driven manually - Autopilot was turned off. If you are going to comment again, tell us how this auto accident has anything to do with the "robotaxi era" other than as a demonstration of just how badly we need autonomy to fix the problem this video illustrates. Namely, how bad the typical human driver is.
Is it just your desire to attack Tesla on a day when the stock is climbing?

SpaceX wont go public until it can be listed on the Martian Stock Exchange
The Power of Story
Much has made of the dearth of critical analysis in this particular thread. I do not in any way, wish take anything from from the strong analysis that has long been a cornerstone of this thread. There are many contributors, whose education, training, and skills, that bring me to awe.
However, to build a worldwide car company from the ground up, requires exponentially greater resources and funding, than would ever be deemed reasonable under the quarter to quarter expectations of Wall Street. Very often so-called experts (Jim Cramer) have derisively referred to Tesla as a story stock.
Indeed. Tesla is a story stock. One helluva story.
Lucid, reasoned analysis should always remain a central and important part of TMC. Story does not preclude analysis, nor does analysis preclude story.
So, let’s sit around the campfire and tell amazing stories; and by all means bring your evidence and data. You are welcome.

Proof that Jonas doesn't understand SpaceX, Musk, or Tesla for that matter.

I didn't know you were a Marine.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough to make a completely covered call. Missing about 1/4th of the shares needed, and far, far to little cash. Also, my tax status is juuuuuuust at over one year for only a tiny handful of my shares, which is also the amount of shares I currently have a sell order for, haha.
The others I'm waiting for them to mature over that one year mark before I touch them. Thanks for the recommendation, though.
