    There are times when it makes sense to represent yourself. Such as when the point is there being a case and you are pinching pennies. The US legal system makes it easy for even a witless pro se to drag the matter on and on. Sadly, I have some experience with this (not on the receiving end, but it was close).

    That said, I think this guy is fubar'd. Just speculating, but I'd hazard that the attorney dumped him. I've seen that happen when a duplicitous client is caught conning his attorney.

    Equally helpful is it to note that the SP also seems to mimic a portion of a drawing my son made when three years old.

    As lawyers say, "he who represents himself has a fool for a client."

    Tesla also agreed to build and fund an R&D center in Beijing. I think this has a key role in China’s approval of Tesla. I imagine Tesla’s R&D efforts in China will be shared tech, just my guess.

    Luckily, Tripp did think ahead and set up that gofundme page...

    - at this time he is 166 million 981 thousand 434 dollars short.

    There she goes, clipping $1 a minute again. No liquidity in this stock. Too many people holding their shares tightly.

    It doesn't sound voluntary. From some of Meissner's earlier statements, it sounded like he was starting to second guess his decision to defend Tripp.

    I read it as him seeing Tripp as either out of control, or guilty as sin. Both things that he was warned about, but that's a different story...

    And then there's how long in one distance their jet fighters can fly border to border.

    ugh what's the point of me freeing up $40k if nobody's going to bother to put out a bunch of FUD to drive the stock down to $350 so i can buy back in?? Bloomberg, here's a scoop: "Tesla Batteries Harmful If Swallowed!"

    I really like this level of cooperation and trust. Could lead to great breakthroughs.

    The annoying thing is that the possibility of Trump messing over the macros doesn't do it for us. When the long positions in TSLA shorts portfolios lose value, it puts margin pressure on them. They're getting squeezed from both directions. Right now, an increase in the macros might be better for someone looking for a good buy on TSLA ;)

    I'm not sure I'd wait all the way for $350. I'm eyeing the mid $350s with my free cash, maybe even upper $350s. But it's hard to say. I never dismiss the possibility of a good black swan.

    You could make a solid argument that their cheeses are the same, except somebody is bound to find a hole.

    Yes - in the last few days we haven't had a real FUD or bad news hit Tesla. If (and when) it does, we'll know how strong the support prices are. I'd be reasonably confident buying at 353 and very confident at 325. Today's support levels of 365 & 361 - I'm not so sure.

    Sounds about right to me. Btw, the one and only place I have seen black swans was in (north western) Iceland.

    I like how the article shifts the narrative, making it sound like Tripp brought his concerns forward publicly and then Tesla went after him, rather than the other way around.

    Lest anyone here forget: we first learned of him from Elon/Tesla accusing him of sabotage. Only later did he start claiming he was a whistleblower.

    It seems like others I'm a little reticent to add at 370, but to all those covering today:

    I added a single share at $362.70 this morning. This is the first time I've added to my position since mid-October. 5 more to go before the end of the year. :)
