Go read Andy Grove, only the paranoid survive. Elon has been in this mode forever. This is the same tone he used in many of Tesla's internal communication, like urging free flow of information. You can even hear that same tone in mkbhd's interview, where he mentioned many times how powerful the competitors are.
But I guess that's one way people can spin it. Probably wise to prepare for another drop.
So I’m reading the book, The Everything Store, about Amazon’s early years. These passages were very interesting:
But the deluge of spending and the widening losses had fueled fear among Amazon’s management team—a fear that Bezos, still a young and volatile thirty-five-year-old CEO, needed additional help. And after hearing persistent grumbling from the ranks that Bezos didn’t listen to his subordinates, the Amazon board initiated one of the biggest misadventures of the company’s first decade. The board members asked Bezos to search for a chief operating officer.
...
Galli hit Amazon like an angry bull let loose on the streets of Pamplona. Everywhere around him, he saw employees operating without the discipline he had learned during his nineteen years at Black and Decker. “There were all these brilliant kids from Stanford and Harvard running up and down the halls,” Galli says. “But we lacked operational rigor and control. It was the Wild West.”
...
Bezos and Galli’s collaboration was troubled from the start. Though Bezos had drawn the new organizational structure himself, he kept his hands firmly on Amazon’s steering wheel throughout Galli’s tenure, voicing detailed opinions about everything from acquisitions to minute changes in the appearance of the home page. Galli thought he had signed up to run the company, and eventually he began to agitate for more authority. “Frankly, Joe was disruptive,” says board member Tom Alberg. “What Joe wanted was to be CEO, but he wasn’t hired to do that.” Bezos took some time off after the birth of his first child, Preston, and then returned to find the company in an uproar over Galli’s abrasive style. Amazon and its board of directors now had a leadership crisis.

Please bear in mind Ariana has written a book about sleep. She advocates it. Thus bias. One I share.
Perhaps I'm misreading this, but my view is Elon is saying - I got home from the factory, I've seen the progress of the last two months, we got this - bankruptcy is not going to happen. Or do I have on my rose colored glasses?
I don’t think that it is particularly controversial subject whether human needs sleep or not...

I also thought he meant bankruptcy is not an option...
Terms of Service Violation
Why did he mention bankruptcy? What the heck has Ford to do with anything??
I doubt stockholders would want Tesla stock to be based on company fundamentals. It would be a bloodbath for the stock. Tesla valuation is all about Elon and his vision. Without that Tesla is an auto stock.
The driven often overdrive. Getting that close to direct conscious contact with the unconscious is a high, too, but then Nietzsche warned about it. Brother Friedrich was well qualified to know.
He means that he is putting in the long hours to ensure that we sustain 5K/week and thus profitability in Q3/Q4. & that bankruptcy is not an option. He understands why he is doing it and is sacrificing himself to meet these goals.
In mid 2000, in the middle of the dot com bust, Amazon had to deal with Wall Street bears as well. Here’s another passage from that book which I think is timely [Suria was a bearish analyst]:
The real danger for Amazon was that the Lehman report might turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. If Suria’s predictions spooked suppliers into going on the equivalent of a bank run and demanding immediate payment from Amazon for their products, Amazon’s expenses might rise. If Suria frightened customers and they turned away from Amazon because they believed, from the ubiquitous news coverage, that the Internet was only a fad, Amazon’s revenue growth could go down. Then it really could be in trouble. In other words, the danger for Amazon was that in their wrongness, Suria and other Wall Street bears might prove themselves right. “The most anxiety-inducing thing about it was that the risk was a function of the perception and not the reality,” says Russ Grandinetti, Amazon’s treasurer at the time.

A 120 hour work week is about 17 hours a day. With 2 hours for meals and commuting, it still leaves 5 hours for sleep, more if you sleep on site.
#Tesla registered 6,836 new #Model3 VINs. ~73% estimated to be dual motor. Highest VIN is 108188.

It is called posturing. He says he has to work much and there's no alternative to that.
Ford btw is in very bad financial waters now.

Is the goal here to oust musk and fight
Oil is also a finite resource. Even if there's still some left, there becomes a point where the cost of extraction makes it no longer feasible. Having the world slowly move to electric also has the effect of extending oil supplies. Saudis will sell less oil but for a longer time.

I only see 1 problem in that tweet: he should have directed it to @BobLutz as a response to his latest bad-mouthing of Elon/Tesla. The one who bankrupted GM should not lecture him about how to run a manufacturing company.
9,000 VINs registered in the last 24 hours:
Bloomberg may need to switch to a logarithmic scale on the VINs...

Seems more like a personal attack on him. It's definitely relevant cuz Musk is half of Tesla's share price!

The simple answer to all this in my opinion is that if the deal appears to be real/going thru, through stock will rise toward the set price of the deal. So, the reason it's so low is the market doesn't believe it's imminent or even close to happening. All the rest is too unknown to discuss. Any positive news of a deal going thru will increase the stock price. Long tsla via stock and options.
