The ongoing X and Elon Musk Transgressions Thread

[troutman]

Britannica Money identifies meme stocks as those that:

Are influenced heavily by social media
Have highly volatile stock prices
Have trading volumes that fluctuate quickly
Have substantial interest from individual investors
Have prices disconnected from the company’s business fundamentals

I would also call it a Greed Stock.

Examples of greed when trading: 

‘Doubling down’ on losing trades 
Adding capital to winning positions 
Over-leveraging

Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon once asked Warren Buffet, “Your investment thesis is so simple. Why doesn't everyone just copy you?” Buffet responded to Bezos by saying, “Because no one wants to get rich slow”.

While I would never tell anyone to literally burn down a Tesla dealership, I think people should do everything in their power to destroy the company. Why should Elon be spared what he's doing to others?

The psycho is the one who thinks he can destroy others but it's wrong if others destroy him.

Can’t people just GameStop the stock of his ####ty company?

The protests and vandalism are having the opposite of the desired effect. The big rally last week was driven by a lot of chatter about "sticking it to the tofu eaters."

Tariffs Could Give Tesla and Musk a Leg Up on Rivals

So much corruption and conflicts of interest.

Maybe this is how you solve global warming. They just placed a tax on all non electric cars. One might say it’s a tax on carbon.

And also electric cars that aren't Teslas that aren't built in the US.

One guy making anti-Musk stickers for Tesla cars is raking in $100,000 a month

I find it hard to believe he can sell that many stickers.

Ever see a #### Trudeau sticker?

[WideReceiver]

Being a Trudeau-hating Canadian is easier to believe than all those Musk haters who bought Teslas and buy the stickers.

There are almost 10 million Teslas on the roads globally. That's a big market. And then you've got the non-Tesla owners who want a sticker of Musk doing a Nazi salute to plaster on bus stops and Tesla chargers, which is also a huge market. Makes sense to me.

Annnd ends the day basically flat. The rollercoaster of meme stocks is not for the weak stomach.

Musk says the administration is going to “go after” people pushing lies about Tesla

Its a video, dude does not look well

[activeStick]

I wonder if this results in him resigning from his role with the administration for fear of his world collapsing? Or does he end up sticking it out feeling like he needs Trump and US financial assistance even more to cut his losses as much as he can?
