      Shorts are always risky especially and there’s a chance that Trump mandates everyone buy a Tesla tomorrow or some bullahit but, and this is not financial advice, it seems like a crazy time to try and hold Tesla stock.

      It’s back up the last 2 days. Looking likely to be back up tomorrow, too.

      Guess we’ll see if sanity returns.

        It won’t last, the brand is already irreparably damaged. He was stammering all over the place when Kudlow asked him how he is running his companies, and it was clear he had something big on his mind.

        I suspect he has either been informed that the Tesla board of directors is not happy about his poor behavior’s impact on their company, and is pressuring him to change his behavior or step down as CEO, or he is being threatened with a shareholder lawsuit, or perhaps both.

        The bloom’s off the rose with Tesla, and it is now on a slow, inexorable slide down. It will rally a bit now and then, but HitlerPig isn’t going to give a weekly infomercial to prop it up. Every bit of bad news, every crash, every recall, every missed production date, every missed release date, etc., is going to be one more drag on the stock price.

        Most of Skum’s fortune is tied to Tesla stock. If we keep pressure on Tesla, Skum will be forced to go back to work, or better yet, he’ll have the humiliation of being fired because he put MAGA ahead of his legal responsibilities to his company and shareholders. If you have Tesla stock, sell it. If you are a market trader, short it. Everyone else should just keep spreading the word about how poorly they’re designed, all their problems, etc. Call it the SwatiKKKar at every opportunity. Inform Tesla owners of their new public identity as Nazis, just for driving one. Encourage Tesla owners to sell, a rising used market will supress sales of new vehicles, and put Teslas into the hands of low-end MAGADorks and further damage the image of the average Tesla owner.

        Tesla’s public image needs to be crushed until it is the best example of a bad EV, and Skum’s fortune has depleted.

    Well, good thing His Orangeness reopened Gitmo. How convenient with the upcoming influx of terrorists to disappear.

      Gitmo was closed? I thought they were only expanding what was already there and in use.

        It wasn’t closed but it was left in a state that wouldn’t allow it to detain tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and other terrorist dissenters without due process.

          Well it isn’t big enough to hold tens of thousands of people there, which I guess means anyone sent there will be disappeared processed for deportation faster to make room.
