Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.

Make him do something. If Elon eats a giant booger mad up of all stock owners boogers, then they won't sell. If he doesn't... ....well he can't sit at our lunchroom table.
Join in rest of the world, there is a lot of musk property to trash and destroy!
so this bad use of oxygen psychopath has the nerve to ask his employees, who always exploits, and have a high chance of losing their job soon, to keep the investment on the swasticar so they have double the risk: their salary and their investment.
And all for personal gain.... why I'm not surprised? and why is he still wasting precious oxygen?

Sell them
I almost wish that I had stock to sell
Better option: short it.
I think the important thing to note here is that there are multiple ways to bet against a stock:
- If you have the stock, sell it.
- If you don't have the stock:
A. Buy a "Put" contract at a lower strike price than the current price in the future. At any time between the contract purchase and the expiration date you can exercise it and take your winnings.
B. Short Sell on Margin. Don't do this. Essentially you borrow the stock, sell it right away, then buy it back to return at the lower price.
Maximum loss:
- The difference between the price you purchased at, and the price you sold at.
2A: The fee per contract. One "Put Option Contract" is 100 shares * the fee. Say the fee for your strike price is $9. Then you pay $900 for one contract. That is your max loss.
2B: Your margin cap. If you borrowed and sold a share for $245, but it turned around and went up, your loss can be arbitrarily large. Don't margin. It's stupid.
Edit: Short selling big dumb, but shorting is not what this big dumb was explaining, this big dumb wanting to explain betting against stock. Fixed
Um... Selling a stock if you have it, is a long, not short position. Short position is always about borrowing it first and profiting from the margin. And if you have a long position and sell it on a downward trend chances are you're losing money.

Lmaooooooooo
🖕elon musk
Could you guys wait until Wednesday? I want to take advantage of the current bump has on my put target
You're in for some fucking pain. Sorry.
:P
Nah the puts im buying are out to this summer, I'm not a weeklies guy. I've just been following it and when I decided to transfer the funds the fee was $13.50 for a break even of $181 on June 20. Right now it's down to like $9 for $181 on June 20. But fat lot of good it does if it crashes before I can buy the puts.
Just a quick summary:
- insiders are selling huge amounts of stock
- sales figures in the last two months were horrible
- constant recalls of cybertrucks which are also basically not selling
- protests and vandalism
- brand is universally hated
- record trade-ins and sales of second hand vehicles
- no new models or products in the pipeline
- laughable vaporware announcements
- begging employees not to sell
- begging Trump for a sales show
- questionable accounting practices exposed in financial times
How anyone can still hold on to Tesla stock is beyond me.
Busted for attempting fraud for EV rebates in Canada at numbers not physically possible and being stupid and arrogant enough to think he’d get away with it

My Rivian and Lucid stocks were doing great before Trump fucked everything up.
Bail while you can. Nobody is going to buy American for a generation.
Maybe internationally, but people in the US are itching to get good non-Tesla EVs and some of them aren't stoked about Kia and Hyundai, unfortunately.

While retail investors are buying up Tesla shares, insiders at the company are selling.
That's a quote from an article on the topic. Does that sound in any way ominous to you?
I'm pretty Lons just got into this because he thought he would be able to syphon government money into his companies. Stop using them, and that stops happening.
He tried to make the jump from consumer goods, to military industrial complex. Fuck that shit right now.

the public as exit liquidity. again.
The oligarchs are probably just using retirement funds to transfer the losses from their criminal cronies to the people.
