The course is correct, but to drive it there needs to be an effective campaign across media platforms educating the greater populace on the hopelessness of the companies future, it’s fraudulent past and the toxicity of the brand.

TSLA stock had never behaved rationally, so it’s entirely unpredictable. Its international sales figures are abysmal and its only profit center is the carbon credits for which it’s now failing to meet its commitments. But investors buy all the vaporware and hopium. Everyone knows it’s a bubble, yet…

Eh, moderate rally. It’s still 30 pts below where it closed last Friday.

No reason to assume nefarious means without data. It’s normal to see a dead cat bounce and volume is at average levels. That’s not say anything nefarious isn’t happening, it’s just there is no reason to assume so without data. The stock has many fans amongst institutional traders.

10-20 would align it with most of its competition, (8 on the low, 27 on the high) none of whom are experiencing the same sales collapse and brand deterioration.

It’s not and there’s no reason to watch it. Typical dead cat bounce.

There was, once. To a degree at least. But there aren’t any currently. He can act without impunity b/c he holds both congressional chambers and most of the Supreme Court. He’s eliminated all of the watchdog groups. So the only recourse left is extraordinary action from us.

There are plenty and I know 2 personally and both are highly successful women that bought their cars around 2021-2022. Not sure what the demographics of their market is this year however.

Meanwhile, Tesla Board members haven't been entirely asleep -- they have been selling huge blocks of stock ahead of the recent collapse in $TSLA price. @electrek.co electrek.co/2025/03/10/t...

Markets are dynamic and individual stocks can be exceedingly volitle. But screen grabs can assist documenting moments in time. Just don’t celebrate anything until the whistle blows.

No serious folks take the conspiracy talk seriously. Its objective is too obvious. So it’s only the gullible and you already know why they take it serious.

And Tesla is far from leading in self drive taxis, AI, or helper robots. Falling behind the automated driving competition has been a disaster. They’re not really in the serious AI conversation anymore & nobody in the established robotics industry is losing sleep over Tesla’s efforts

The administration has demonstrated zero concern for future electability. Trump Jr’s plan for an alternative economy as his father dismantles the current one is going according to plan. Why bother with the old paradigms when their current plans are succeeding?

Undoubtedly. Elon is clearly desperate to stabilize the stock. He needs time to develop a new pump scheme. That share price is the source of so much power at the moment so its stability is a priority.

Exactly. It doesn’t trade on fundamental data. When a stock is trading on irrational motivations and can be effected by its celebrity figurehead w/government ties and a history of pump schemes it becomes too unpredictable to bet on.

In my heart of hearts I know things will need to become much more dire for a higher percentage of Americans before the calls become desperate enough to act. And I know they will become far more dire.

Sadly eventually they will, once it’s too late.

Also, Tesla is only competitive in a single EV segment and has the industry’s worst customer service. It’s just not smart when the competition now offers better alternatives.

The front lines of rebellion are everywhere. Tesla’s share price are an oversized source of power for this authoritarian regime. Any and all damage to this regime is meaningful. To win against authoritarianism battles must be fought everywhere against all fronts.

“Breaking” should be reserved for story’s that are worthy of breaking into major live broadcasts like the Super Bowl or Oscars. Anything less can honestly wait until morning.

How many interdimensional portals have to collapse before the GOP admits these privately funded detention centers are immoral in the eyes of our 10th dimension overlords? And Democrats need to stop just expecting random multiverse heros to save them, even if admittedly that is most often the case.

It’s a telling exercise to workout what would need to occur for Tesla to recover, and in this case all the steps are highly unlikely. Not impossible, but also not probable.

If I thought for a second his ego could handle losing a controlling interest Tesla.

The stock was sitting around 214 then, which would’ve only required ~28k shares pledged, but my (admittedly faulty) memory from that time seems to remember a high amount. I also recall that weird moment the following January with some high volume over night trades to stabilize the price.

One thing is for sure, if someone is making a show of their play it’s because they need someone else to believe it. There’s a reason the play-action is still an effective tool.

I think it’s honestly a 14/share company, but it’s stressful to short a company that’s run by celebrity oligarch who controls one media platform and has a history of running pump schemes.

My understanding is the Twitter deal involved liquidating shares to total around 20B in or so in cash and another 25B in private financing arrangements that included collateralized shares.

It appears that support around 240 is holding for you, and w/a mid day bounce you might be looking ok.

I last calculated it about a year and half ago for just the Twitter buy and it was around 100 +\- 5. But it’s possible terms and/or arrangements have changed in the last 18 months and looking those terms to recalculate is a pain.

Using recent history as a guide I’d assume a bounce around mid day and close near 245, however markets are often wonderfully unpredictable.

His influence is derived from his power which is derived from his wealth which is derived from the value of his $TSLA shares. Without power and influence I couldn’t care less what he focuses on.

Its true value is 14/share so it’s got a ways to go.

TSLA appropriate price based on fundamentals, forecasted profits, sales figures, impacts to carbon credits, etc compared to the industry is 14/share. It’s a bubble but instead of bursting it’s leaking. It’s a gen behind Mercedes in auto-drive tech and its only competitive product is the low-margin 3

They won’t. No one in the country is prepared yet for what it takes to oppose authoritarianism. And when they are, it won’t be coming from institutions.

It’s just following the standard $TSLA fight path

That not Elon’s only company experiencing rapid unscheduled disassembly - $TSLA 😎

Warner is powerless now. Why are people expecting corrupt, powerless senators to do the right thing all the sudden? The government is authoritarian now and none of the current elected officials are prepared with the skills to face authoritarianism.

Yes, yes, yes, Republicans are better at weaponizing rage. They better be, they invested enough in dumbing-down their constituents over the last 4 decades. Nothing to be done for it now, however. Lest someone pretends towards violence there isn’t much use fretting over it.

“..marginally slow progress and harm competitiveness?” I think you mean “..rapidly decimates US industry in way nobody is prepared for or understands how to communicate.”

“…plans to roll out” when you mean to say “the tariffs that were implemented”
