I dumped the rest of my shares this morning at $824 and wondered if I was wise!

LOL. What gives you the right to tell me whether I can complain or not ? Apparently trying to restrict other's rights is fascist
ps : I've my stock from a long time - so don't really count "paper" losses. I had actually sold some 820 calls on my trading shares. So, nothing to complain about SP.
I'm more worried about Musk focusing to steer Tesla in these troubling times.

As an investor, I did my homework before buying the stock. I have a very close friend reported to Elon directly.
I knew Elon's reputation.
As I mentioned, my sole purpose to support Tesla is to promote sustainable energy and inter-planet species.
Those are two critical components to preserve humanity.
So what's our options. Is there any sane person willing to do both? Should we trust Jeff Bonzo more than Elon Musk on these two goals? How about Gates Foundation? Or Mark Zuckerberg? Or Richard Branson?
There is no one ever done much progress in the last decade more than Elon.
If it's not Elon, we will be still driving ICE cars today. We still have no way to send astronaut back to the space other than old Soviet Russia tech. There is no one's interest investing in fundamental technology other than insane people.
People begin to interest in battery because of electric car and renewable.
People begin to interest in space again because of SpaceX.
I quickly came to my conclusion that there is no alternative and climate change is existential threat -- a "I may not see my grand-kid" threat.
This year marked the hottest winter ever in human history recorded on Earth. Do you know that?
This year is also a drought year of California and the entire west is experiencing mega drought.
US megadrought 'already under way'
COVID will be a blip in history, do you know 1968-1969 we have 1-4 millions people died from Hong Kong flu?
List of epidemics - Wikipedia
But climate change will be severely influence of our survival.
I am here to keep my children and children's children survive, and I am serious. My investment is calculated to maximize my future generation's survival rate. This year's event is nothing comparing whether human can survive in the long run.
Wow you dumped your share 60 dollars higher than the opening price. Who did you have to sleep with to get that price?
Is it possible you have a reading comprehension issue?
So, I enjoyed my day off. Did I miss anything?
Been ploughing through about 50 pages of text full of raging emotions. Luckily no one is packing here. Stumbled on someone called MaskOff. To all others: please don’t leave. We may not agree on everything, but everyone can voice their opinion here. No censorship is applied (if it stays within TMC-rules). Anyone who thinks this is an echo chamber, please let your sound be heard.
As for the SP: it’s amazing it didn’t drop any further with so many people here liquidating their positions.

After a busy day messing with the poor souls at TMC, Elon then heads over to Boca Chica, TX, and prepares to prank those working hard preparing rockets for launch...

I've been watching some of you lot crying and moaning all day here! I thought this forum was better than this. Many of the same people a week ago were talking of keeping powder dry to invest during a dip! Well Elon gave you $100 discount today and all I've heard is negativity.
Personally, I bought a few more at $705.
Can we all try a bit harder to act like seasoned TSLA investors and not newbies that discovered TSLA 2 weeks ago and got scared to death on the first 10% down day lol!!

To all the people criticizing Elon, I am not here to defend his tweets but ask you to think about the motivation for his tweets. Fremont is now shutdown for all of April and possibly through end of May. What do you think is going to happen to the share price in Q2 if the factory remains closed for most of the quarter. Although it may seem like his tweets are causing the stock price to go down, they are merely accelerating what was going to happen regardless. Battery day and the new factory announcement may halt the downward momentum temporarily but Q2 results will probably drag it down further. I think Tesla stock price is going to go through this roller coaster ride for a long time and it is not for the faint of the heart. As the company grows and the fundamentals improve both the highs and lows for the share price will keep getting pushed higher and higher. I strongly believe that Tesla will be a Trillion dollar company but still choose to have less than 15% of my net worth invested in Tesla.This allows me the peace of mind to deal with volatility of Tesla stock price.

I had this exact thought last night and I really appreciate your post putting it into context. If nothing else today will almost certainly precipitate a PR crisis response from the company, hopefully something positive emerges from that to help with the eventual (safe) reopening of Fremont and a path forward for the company in general. Thanks again for posting and best wishes to all in SG from a former frequent visitor.

thanks, this was a good post. i have no idea whether it will be "good timing" or not, i've never claimed to be able to time the market. my investment was made on the premise of Tesla's inevitable long-term potential. Me re-evaluating Tesla's leadership is what led to me re-evaluating the inevitability of that potential, and reducing my position.
i didn't sell it all, i've still got money in Tesla. but unless something alters my assessments fundamentally again, my investment trajectory may continue downward. we will see.
i also perceive him as exceptionally smart and indeed a genius, but sometimes stupid. i've known and worked with geniuses. none of them were right all the time. everyone is sometimes stupid. but there's a skill (call it humility if you want) to recognizing one's own inevitable stupidity, and gracefully backing up, straightening out, and resuming course. my worry is that his skill at recognizing and dealing with his "sometimes stupid" moments is poorly developed, and could have very bad long-term implications. it's okay to be wrong, as long as you don't blow up everything around you trying to pretend you were right.
sure, and that's the other side of the coin. Tesla's current product lineup, as well as its development projects, are unparalleled. i have nothing but wonderful things to say about Tesla cars and Tesla as a company. But Musk steers that ship, and his blood pumps through the entire business. if i lose confidence in him, that's the same as me losing confidence in Tesla's future.
Yea, i'm pretty sure you have a reading comprehension problem.
This was the news that solidified my decision to go balls deep at 699 before the close. Balls. Deep.
This possibility is why I changed my mind end of day and bought back some Sep calls

no way. at least 99% of Tesla owners know who Elon Musk is.
