Thanks for your apologies, but no need. I was very aware of the risks. But if anyone here can say they saw the largest public to private transition ever happening, feel free to forward the link on that discussion ( I actually do recall someone raising that possibility, but literally once), and so I assigned the probability of that event happening a very very slim chance. I completely disagree that money losses have tainted my opinion, and clouded my judgement. If I was in it strictly for the money, I would just give my money to the aforementioned hedge fund manager/owner. But i care where my money is invested, and who gains from the profits of that company. What activities do those profits support both directly and indirectly? As for my LEAPS having huge time premiums, that in my opinion can go both ways. Yes looking at it with retrospect makes them more risky, but why do you pay those premiums? to help de-risk the time element... (ramping issues, elon's own time etc).
Sorry unsure of exactly how. I can say his area of expertise is merger arbitrage. I think its more a matter if deal gets announced, there is no way a squeeze will happen, as institutional investors are going to sell at anything above 420.
That sums it up. For myself its a loss of confidence. Not full loss, but loss. I have enjoyed TSLA as an investment , as I was a strong, ardent supporter of Musk. I do not care if he says the stock is over-valued. I value honesty above all. But when he starts publicly accusing pedophilia, how can one not question those actions? Would you question your teenager if they did that? Maybe hold them to a higher principal? Do you feel "funding secured" was appropriate terminology, even after his blog post clarification? Do you feel Tesla should open itself up for a buyout to a nation that might not have transitioning to alternative fuel sources as its primary objective? How does that fit with the master plan?
Sorry, but you need to question.
"
Musk: Well, I do think there’s a good framework for thinking. It is physics. You know, the sort of first principles reasoning. Generally I think there are — what I mean by that is, boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there, as opposed to reasoning by analogy.
Through most of our life, we get through life by reasoning by analogy, which essentially means copying what other people do with slight variations."
Not really I have a thick skin I am not that sensitive.
