I think its coming. And to me it doesn't matter if the money is wasted on war or propaganda, its all a waste with massive kickbacks for the politicians. If the money spent doesn't make the country stronger, but instead makes a politician richer, its waste and fraud.
I met a Tesla VP in Lake Tahoe back during the Davis Fire. He was parked on the side of the road while we watched the fire encroach on homes above Callahan Ranch. We exchanged contact info and he loaned me his EV bike (Varg) to recce the area and it allowed me to make it back to the house to grab some things. I was followed by the Nat Guard but they lost me the second I went off road. That bike is insane. He says that the Board is very nervous about the illegal's DOGE activity and the correlation to the share price. They are convinced that the recent activities are causing the share collapse. He (Tahoe guy) doesn't care about the gig as he's fully hedged OTC but knows that the Board is pretty much fed up.
Its a shame though that the stock isn't trading on fundamentals, like the fact that FSD isn't the killer app that all the fanboys think it is. China will dominate the car market and I think everyone else just needs to give up and do something more productive.
USAID funds America’s small farmers, he’s twisting the knife on these ‘little guys’ and paving the way for Big Ag to buy up farmland. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/usaid-and-american-ag.383100/
I knew TSLA would underperform but talking to the guy confirmed my suspicions. Stock i9s dead money until the illegal leaves govt. Conviction was similar to MRNA: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/mrna-getting-more-money.347454/
I did see this thread and it is sad. But that's the problem with government manipulation in all of these markets. Some you subsidize, others you tax. Its all just such a shit show. Let the free market do its thing and get out of the way. This is what the US used to be before the government leeches got involved. It has all the natural resources it needs to be successful, but at the current time, the path to get back on track will mean lots of pain.
China offers a deal to Trump to allow Chinese electric cars in the US. No one buys Muskmobilies. It just seems like a matter of time.
Ah the gud ole daze. A sharp elbow to the ribs is no longer sufficient to stop someone from sharing the spotlight huh?
