Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The stock is currently recovering but there's a lot of fear. People might bail out if Musk pulls another stunt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah he's been quiet the last few days, and I knew that had to be why. It won't last through, he's like Trump in that neither can stand it when they're not the center of attention.

I may not know anything about the stock market, but I think this means everyone should sell their stocks.

I wonder how this will end?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Probably with an illegal government bailout, either in the form of an incredibly generous to Tesla purchase order or just cold hard cash

This is going to end funny

Season 2025 of the second phase of earth is sooo facinating!

when the CEO is begging shareholders "please don't sell your stocks", that is quite possibly the single biggest red flag for any company ever. That is "pull your money out yesterday" territory.

How will he ever get his 56B bonus? Boo hoo.

Tesla stock is way, way overvalued. If it were based completely on the company and its product, it would be 1/5 or 1/6 of its current market value. That hyped-up value was based on Musk being a benevolent leader into a progressive future of electric vehicles, continentally available charging, shared infrastructure, getting off fossil fuels, solar and alternative energy sources, etc, etc. However now that he has shown that he is actually a regressive, do anything for a buck to be the first trillionaire even if he kills the USA in the process, a**hole, why would Tesla stock stay overvalued? Especially as every new line of Teslas has more problems, with the latest cybertruck being fully recalled? Anyone not bailing now is likely to lose most of their value the longer they wait. The MAGAs that Musk now appeals to are never going to buy an EV and his former supporters that he stabbed in the back will go on to other EV providers.

That P/E ratio it has is crazy. It's basically a meme stock. I think 1/5 to 1/6 is being very, very generous.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago

So he can sell his and cash out first?

Nah. Tesla’s dead. Now we need to kill spacex

Charges of domestic terrorism against anyone selling his Tesla stocks in 3... 2... 1...

Hey now, there's no need to be redundant.

I suppose that was the undertext... sorry, I'm great at ruining jokes 😂

Please hold the bag so I don't get a margin call.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

The protests won't stop until the company is bankrupt. Sell em if you've got em.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago
