Elon Musk tokes up, execs resign, stocks drop

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't touch Tesla stock. The dude's a nutjob and most luxury brands are planning releases of all-electric vehicles soon. That company is cooked.

What if Elon gets ousted at some point? Would your stance change?

What's their schtick? Electric cars. When much more reputable companies are doing and doing that well I think Tesla will be left holding the bag. Are you gonna buy a Tesla or a Mercedes?

 

They're building cars in tents. That company's doomed imo. I've been wrong before though so grain of salt.

Not saying youre wrong here but Tesla seems to be better than anything else currently on the market.

 

I dont own any Tesla stock and the guy seems like a nut job. Its just an intriguing corporate scenario playing out to me.

 

That might change if he is ever ousted.

He's tanking the over valued stock (still) so he can take it private.

Is their battery better than any competitor out there, or is that just fanboy talk?

Not if you read some reviews. Poor body alignment....finicky engine components. Difficult parts to locate.

 

Tesla has that "I wanna be cool" vibe going but that never lasts. Their cars look cool for sure but they won't be trendy for long.

I've driven a few Teslas. Fantastic car. I wouldn't know about working on one, but driving them was great.

Walmart Canada ordered 30 more Tesla trucks today. The passenger car market is one thing, but the opportunities in trucking might be even bigger.

Those things are sweet too if they ever hit the road. Supposedly be able to pay for themselves in two years with fuel savings. We'll see.

I watched the whole Joe Rogan interview (YouTube) and the way the headlines refer to it don't match it. Musk was a little awkward in the beggining but he didn't act loony by any means, and they settled into comfortable, thought provoking conversation that at times sounded like stoner convo even before Rogan had the joints brought out. It actually made me think Musk is stabler than things have been starting to seem. They didn't talk about it, but I think he regrets responding to that diver's initial criticism in kind, and then just digging the hole deeper.

I watched the whole thing too. It's too bad Joe Rogan never shuts up, because Elon Musk is a really interesting guy. Obviously he has some form of aspergers or something, that makes him a little socially awkward. He didn't even inhale, so it's pretty much impossible for him to be stoned. And who cares if he was. Execs go out and drink cocktails all of the time, but pot is some huge deal because we have a retarded and antiquated law about it.

Im listening the the podcast now. I think Rogan talked so much because there were just so many uncomfortable silences. Lots of brief answers from Musk without any explanation

I like Tesla as a company. They are innovative and Musk dreams big. He's not a fan of the Jew so it's no surprise they are going after him.

Tesla cars are lame. I appreciate the tech, but they are still for fags.

What is lame about their vehicles?

I know about the innovation. I’m more interested in the anti Jew part.

The latest:

 

SEC is suing Musk for fraud

 

Stock wiped out today. Down 14%.

 

Im having a hard time seeing him holding onto the CEO gig.

Supposedly they had worked out a settlement and Musk decided not to sign it. He doesn't believe he did anything wrong and had to be true to himself. I| assume this decision was made with consult of counsel and have a hard time believing he would have gone this route unless they believe they have a good chance of beating the lawsuit.

Or he has a god complex and doesn't think anything can touch him. Didn't he once start the idea of building an underground highway system to beat traffic?

That's still ongoing. Called the Boring company and they have a deal with the Dodgers to build a tunnel/shuttle system for fans to get to the game.

Settlement reached. He is still CEO but gives up being chairman of the board.

Interesting settlement. Also interesting that this was pursued as a civil matter by the SEC and not a criminal fraud case.

If I were going to (or could) drop $75k-$125 on a vehicle the S or X would not be in my top 5, or even top 10 likely.

 

I would still drive the fock out of either one though if someone tossed me the key fob or I won the lottery and wanted an EV in the stable., they are fun rides.

Thats pretty much what I was getting at, if you have 75k to drop on a car and you get a Tesla something is wrong with you.

You see them a lot in China. America has some of the cheapest gasoline in the world. In other places, EV makes a lot more sense.

 

Of course, people who have Tesla money dont give a fock about gas prices. It would make more sense to make a budget electric car.

They are cool until a 75k Vette or Stang parks next to one.
