Yeah, other car companies are far too debt laden to take on any huge acquisitions (which is why their market caps are so low). I don't know is the numbers are still applicable, but 3-4 years ago when Tesla was worth about $20B, it was estimated that Tesla's value would have to be below $10B for other car makers to be able to buy it. If that's still true, it'd need to drop over 95% from where it is now to get there.

If I'm Tesla and I see my competitive advantage about to end and the face of the company being the world's dumbest clown?

I think Tesla is about to have their lunch fed to them in the next 18-24 months.

But I'm no expert nor am I gambler or a big-city lawyer.
I resemble your statements to a "t". I can't speak to the accuracy of this website, but Tesla's market cap certainly does seem out of whack;

I'd be more inclined to short Tesla than buy and hold based on these numbers. Won't do either.

Twitter's essence is brevity and speed over depth and detail. That's why it's max 250 characters. There would be no Twitter if Twitter required full context and details. It would just be Blogger.

The real ironic thing is this from a tweet in response to the quoted tweet from the Twitter Twat.



Change the Science Worshiper's Method to "Trump Worshiper's Method" and it's right on the money.

There are a number of things you can count on when it comes to conservatives and especially Trump supporters.

1) They project their own faults like crazy. If they are complaining about something (virtue signaling is how they put it I believe) they themselves are the most complicit in that very same behavior.

2) They fail to follow logic in any shape or form. For example, they're staunch constitutionalists yet they don't understand what the constitution is or what it does. They conflate the highly fallible bill of rights (the first ten AMENDMENTS) with the actual constitution, not understanding the difference and historical significance of the two.

3) They claim to be highly moral people but then support some of the most heinous scumbags on the planet. How can you be a God-fearing Christian and support the likes of Trump, Gaetz, Boebert, Green, Gozer, Jordan, etc. A collection of adulterers, serial liars, pedophiles, and worshippers of money and power over the teachings of Christ.

4) They're despicable people. They revel in their ignorance and they think their little 4Chan and 8Chan memes are the height of intellectual thought. The uphold some of the most obscene people as role models and care only about themselves (good Christian folk). As long as they are owning the libs they don't care what type of gutter trash they align themselves with.

Yoyo is the perfect example of these demented twats. Doesn't grasp half of the stuff he posts and thinks he's doing God's work, all the time looking like a idiot and promulgating their compliance with the stereotype.

Just make sure you only digest science thats has been prepared by governments or billionaire controlled media, they can sort through it and separate the "good science"
that you need from the "bad science" that you need to be protected from.

Totally right, we should instead trust Joe Rogan to do it for us.

Personally I trust the billion dollar social media site to crowdsource the digestion of science for me.

No, you should believe only things contrary to expert opinion. Everyone is on the take except Alex Berenson. This is the laziest drive by yet

This Andrew Tate/Greta Thunberg battle on twitter was a wild ride. Never seen a 36 year old wannabe alpha get destroyed so badly in just a couple days by a teenage girl. It's glorious. Enjoy jail, scumbag.

Well...I mean...I dont know who this clown is really, but how is he just chilling in Romania scot free?

He posted a pic of his car with the license plate and everything.

And, if he had a car collection that vast, I presume there is a DMV out there somewhere who knew where he was.

Either way though, he seems like a giant bag of ass so...good on them for finally apprehending him.

While I agree with your sentiment

Anyone tweeting anything negative about vaccines without comparing to baseline Covid risks is inherently misleading given the climate at the time.
