Tesla stock - in my opinion - is getting crushed for all the same reasons crap like META and other stocks got crushed. It was way overvalued and the cost of capital is much higher. This shit always gets mauled in a significant rate rising environment. But if you want to attribute the fall to Twitter because it makes you feel better, there's no harm in that I suppose.
The Twitter layoffs continued on the Thursday before Christmas. At this rate the company will have nobody left by May. Twitter layoffs continue under Elon Musk https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/22/tech/twitter-layoffs-continue Or course, Musk whining about margin debt just prior the weekend did nothing to help the TSLA stock price -- coupled with quickly falling Tesla sales and production slowdowns in China. Elon Musk Warns Against Margin Debt on Risk of Market ‘Mass Panic’ https://www.yahoo.com/now/elon-musk-warns-against-margin-215641054.html I expect "Elon Musk is having a lousy Christmas thanks to the Twitter sh*tshow. Let’s review." But Musk probably made himself happy this holiday season by promoting Russian propaganda about a ‘Fourth Reich’.
If only Musk wasn't concentrating on Twitter, ARKK would be so much higher. Er...no wait, if only Cathie was paying more attention to ARKK and not Twitter...er...never mind.
Paradoxically, he wiped twitter of child porn w/no moderators on the payroll. Truly genius achievement.
Musk is in a public relations nightmare. He keeps touching subjects that are the third rail through Twitter and it’s tanking his brand. Conservatives want to deny this because they are crude and don’t want to accept that Musk’s risqué behavior on Twitter is having an impact on Tesla.
