Look, I’m not happy with his behavior. I do think it’s worth taking a breath and thinking long and hard (read: not emotionally) before making any decisions.
If after that you decide to sell, great, wash your hands and be done with it. Maybe a better entry or investment will materialize. But I don’t think making a quick decision and liquidating on what could easily be yet another bizarre blip in the Tesla story is a good idea.
I mean, we’re talking about a guy that has openly taken a hit off a joint in violation of federal law and publicly derided an already hostile SEC. Elon is many things, but a rock-solid model of stability is not one of them, for better or worse.
To expand: Although I cheer for Tesla to reopen early, I've accepted the possibility of the number of case balloons back up in a week or two which leads to much more uncertainties. But, I was willing to stick by Elon. You know what they say about Murphy; I was willing to deal with the last thing that could go wrong. Today, Elon went off the reservation signaled to me that it's already here and it was him no less.
None of that is a reason to tank the SP with a tweet. That will only help the slimy roaches, click bait bastages and small-minded people you mentioned. It hurts his supporters.
Well said. Wake up sheep! This is TSLA investor thread and it just blows my mind how brainwashed some of you are (exception: the trolls)
Speaking of well said...hey, strongest of the weak longs that have finally had enough of Elon? You gonna back up those words with actions? In case you don't know what that means....a sane person would SELL AND GO AWAY. Your only contribution here is emotional hysteria and you probably have a gambling problem.

I disagree because not people have the same stress level on volatility. People are free to get out or buy and that's their choices. We don't need to force people to agree with us.
Disclaimer: I am still holding. Not going to sell it until we have a city on Mars.
I have been long Tesla, shares only, no margin, for many years. My average cost is under $40. I have been there for the highs (sometimes literally) and lows. One fundamental part of my investment thesis is a belief that Elon Musk is a once-in-a-generation leader. This belief is being tested today. The mental gymnastics this thread is going through to justify the tweets, to explain what they “really mean” and shouting down anyone with the temerity to question them is sad. When you try to defend the indefensible, you yourself lose credibility. Why is it so hard to accept that Musk is capable of making mistakes?
I don’t like his comments on C19 but overlooked that as I felt people can disagree and still respect one another. I get the argument that the cure might be worse than the disease and that there are ways, and a pressing need, of safely resuming some economic activity. I’m also well aware that Musk is certainly much better informed than I am on the matter, and so I trusted him. When he started using dangerous language — and yes, words and phrasing do matter (“sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can f*** me up for life”) — I paused. These latest tweets have me fundamentally reassess my investment in Tesla for the first time.
I owe my roughly 20x gains to Musk, of that I’m certain. More importantly, the world is a better place and on a better path because of Musk's endeavours. The fact that the stock is down a bit today is irrelevant to me. TSLA always swings wildly. What has changed is the respect I have for Musk has been dented.
Luckily for me the markets in Europe don’t reopen until Monday and so I have time to reflect and react with logic rather than emotion. I’m already a lot calmer than even 30 minutes ago. Tesla as a company remains a fantastic opportunity with some amazing developments in the pipeline. I don’t think I’ll be selling any of my shares, but my finger is closer to the sell button than it has ever been. I’ll be watching developments over the weekend very closely.
To quote my mother, “I’m not angry, just disappointed.”
Call me a short/troll or put me on ignore if you think it will help.

If you’re mad right now
1. You put all your eggs in one basket (lol)
2. Short sighted and thought you were going to get rich quick
Tesla is a highly volatile long term investment. If you weren’t crying about Elon musk, you would be crying about something else soon enough.

I heard climate change deniers says the exactly same things too. I remember them cheer when some of the predictions turns out wrong. I remember them claiming the science is not settled. I remember them saying nobody knows whether EV reduce emissions.
I agree with this new virus the science is truly not settled yet. And I agree with argument of re-open with caution and protection.
But what he did is much more than that. He has been proven wrong about his prediction that we will see very few death by end of April. Now he began to attack the death numbers due to his confirmation bias, as if the body trucks and massive grave and the overwhelmed cremation workers in Wuhan are all fake.
The death numbers are hard to make right, there are under and over reporting at the same time but counting covid-19 related cases toward covid-19 is generally accepted way of counting. That's how flu deaths are counted. that should be the way to count covid-19 cases if we are to compare against flu

Somebody call Freud, it appears one of our members has lost their id and it is running wild in this thread under a new username.

FTFY. Electrick went over to the dark side when they discovered 'clicks'. Their "Headline" clickbating was so transparent it was laughable, except that redFay was lining his pockets by bashing Tesla. Reprehensible site.

I'm expecting heavy selling on Monday. Some funds are going to decide over the weekend that this stock isn't suitable for them. Could be a good buying opportunity.
Well the slimy bastages were and always will be after him...no tweet or lack of tweet will stop that.
And if you are a option trader or short term day trader...sure that hurt.
But if you a buy and hold person not so much. I am retiring in 3 month's so sure I would like the stock to be up.
However the long term mission is by far the most important. This is short term noise.
Is he right about how he is expressing his frustration....not for me to say.
Lots of emotions here just because Elon tweets something some don't understand?
Or is it that the SP is $75 down?
Thats all irrelevant and means nothing. Monday the SP may go up $75 again, so what ?!
Sorry but I don't get it because this we have since a long time and over time the company did better and better and the SP went up.
Never been more convinced about my investment and with more cash available today it would be a buy day for me.

I love this. People complaining about Elon when all he is doing is telling the truth.
If we don't get back to work, we're looking at a financial collapse. Even now, it may be too late. Tesla COULD go $100.
This is the first time many posters on this board are getting a real taste of the devastation that may come. Ten million out of work ... "you can't put a price on a human life!" Tesla shares down ... "Oh my God!!!" Elon had to punch people in the nose for them to understand how serious the situation is. I'm glad he did.
Just for clarification. I own a bunch of TSLA bought a little less than a year ago. ($250+/-) I was hoping to lighten up some in the next few days when my gains go long term. Still think it's a twenty bagger over the next decade. But hoping to buy back in at a much lower price after the waves of job losses and bankruptcies batter the market a little (or lot) more. So this pullback is costing me money.
