Oh I know that and I don’t either. I just don’t like the influence the media has on so many people. Those people do get in the way and slow things down.At this point I have a suspicion Elon dosnt care what the media think
Wow! My appreciation of Elon Musk just went up another couple of notches. Excellent responses to pointed questions. Well done, Elon.It looks like we should be able to watch the WSJ interview of Elon in about 13 minutes here:

Ok, that was wrong of me. Truth is, I do appreciate @Krugerrand and @TheTalkingMule too. That's it, no joke. You are appreciated.I appreciate everyone on this list, except for @TheTalkingMule and @Krugerrand who have no need or no interest in my appreciation.

If things do get delayed again for a 3rd time, I'm in the camp that thinks Elon/Tesla should start to put this in the spotlight by openly saying any further expansion plans at GigaBerlin are put on hold
time to spring up some tents in Poland.
Where is the crying button?During the last couple of days I'vv had a few messages with kind comments. Perhaps I should explain myself a trifle better than I did.
As I reflect I recall a comment made to me by my favorite boss as he was preparing to retire:
a loose paraphrase was 'after a certain age one's experience and judgement no longer serve to guide other younger people. When that happens it is time to go.'
I have been posting on TMC for a bit more than six years. During that time I have advocated the same positions in slightly different ways, but the basic ideas have not changed. I have been acutely aware of repeating myself.
One of my young colleagues mentioned that "...for an old guy you're surprisingly well informed." (Translated from the Portuguese). She intended it as a compliment, perhaps. Still, I make many typos, itself not a mark of vibrance and good habits. Then I realize I persist in repeating the same stories. I justify that because the people who gave us 2008 are ones who very nearly brought on global depression, narrowly averted by good luck rather than good judgement. I keep thinking if younger people would understand that and other such lessons they would be better investors. if my assertion was valid the oldsters would have learned also, but we all know they haven't. A recent stay on Hank Paulson's island reminded me that there is no plausible assertion that there is any causal relation to be had between cause and effect in 2008 or any other year.
With those thoughts I realized I should stop now, not because of rancor, but because I am repeating myself.
So, I know those positions are valid. I know nearly all retail 'investors' using margin, puts, cals and other such instruments will eventually lose. The house wins, if anybody does. That is the last time I will post such positions simply to stop repeating myself.
I will not depart TMC nor will I stop reading pertinent parts of these threads, and continue rating posts, but not with words. I will refrain from posting in this thread.

I only need to worry about half of the equation because my haircuts generally look about like that.I would post whose style I think Elon’s haircut resembles but I don’t want to validate Godwins Law.
More like "Imagine spending tons on a boss hair transplant and ending up looking like THAT" What happened here, man?I would post whose style I think Elon’s haircut resembles but I don’t want to validate Godwins Law.
Just think if the media (and stock prices) pump up these other EV companies and then they don't make a large volume of vehicles or aren't profitable after 2-5 years. This lets Legacy Auto/Energy keep status quo for the next 5-10 (20?) years as they use this tactic to slowly transition with PHEVs ("We have battery supply constraints/chip shortage we cant make full BEVs") as the CEOs ride out their golden parachutes.
I am going to give some props to the interviewer. Her voice, pronunciation, and diction seamlessly integrated into a channel I had no problems with.
And her ability to be flexible in more than one area also made the interview all about Elon, instead of her or an agenda.
Elon is not easy to ride.
It wasn’t only the military he was talking about. He was also referring to the police state. As in the government can lock up and even kill its own citizens. Usually this only occurs after due process, but not always. He was just making an extreme point that most people would recoil against giving a corporation that much power, yet have no problem giving the government that power. Even as it isn’t always accountable."A Monopoly on Legal organized violence"
Yes, she did stay professional, but i thought you could tell Elon had her on her heels several times since his answers wasn’t conforming to her script or agenda.
