You have been objective and fair HOWEVER you failed to include that at present Musk is working for free, what do you believe fair compensation should be for such a CEO?
Acquiring a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $160K for some time now, but my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Here is the Thing. Elon Musk and Tesla could not care less what wall street or investors think about the stock or the near term. They have a mission, and that is what will guide the company. For long term investors, we should be really happy that Tesla operates in this way
If you think Elon and Tesla don’t care about the stock price I think you are naive. Theres a reason Elon continually tries to pump the stock. Saying over and over that he thinks it will be valued essentially double of Apple. Tesla will not admit that robotaxis aren’t happening. And they will dangle this humanoid robot as some kind of breakthrough for their business. The reality is they continue this hype so that their stock can be valued as a tech company. Elon constantly gives propaganda about Tesla being an ai/robotics company. Even calling Tesla cars robots on wheels. None of this hype and these proclamations benefit the operation of Tesla. The purpose is blatantly to pump the stock. Because ai/robotics companies are valued at a multiple over a car company. You will never hear Tim Cook refer to apple as a car company just because it’s developing a car. Because there is no stock pumping benefit to that.
These people are fallible and they're human. Not superhuman. The brand of Tesla has been tarnished by Elon posting like a 17 year-old on social media. There's no way to pretend that's not a liability. Especially in a highly competitive market where brand means everything.
@@singed8853crazy how differently you see things. I just want to point out that you could have said all this years ago, and of course you would have lost out. Same today.
Fair criticism about Elon Musk being wishy washy about how committed he is about AI at Tesla. At the same time, he has long stated his worries about unconstrained AI, to say that it would be totally fine as long as it is within Tesla would also be disingenuous. My model of Tesla does not include the bot, and I think it is what Elon is most interested in "controlling".
Elon Musk lies, tortures innocent animals, murders innocent animals, overpopulates, pumps and dumps. Common Sense Skeptic (CSS) and Dr Phil Mason (Thunderf00t) destroy King Muskrat and his stupid cult every day. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zEPRgEi1cgM.html
Buy low sell high. If you are a long term investor and believe in the Tesla mission and Tesla engineers to deliver on the future roadmap. These dips are a boon!
The problem at this time is not that we(Tsla investors) don't believe in "Tesla's mission". The main concern is that the company is going through a difficult period and our beloved CEO looks like he is not 100% Focus on his company! Constructive criticism is important! I'm afraid Elon has bunch of "Yes Sir" people around him not willing to call him out when he is wrong.
@@VictoryX11 Surrounding one's self with yes-men is a definite concern with people in powerful positions. I hope Elon isn't doing that. I don't think he is as I often hear him questioning himself. Only time will tell.
Tesla increased their free cash flow while cutting margins and building new production capacity. Other OEMs would love to have Tesla’s financial problems.
EXACTLY the stock price goes lower people panic and big money buys up all the selling. People are so dumb. Anyone who sells Tesla stock will regret it soon.
uh, that I very much doubt as sales in China (half their market) have fallen off a cliff and now the CCP have disallowed Teslas to drive in large parts of the country (near any government or sensitive sight)...
I made the mistake years ago of getting mad at EM's behavior. I missed a great buying opportunity for being self-righteous and thinking I knew better. I have watched for 10 years all these experts talk about how he is making mistakes and doing the wrong thing. They are always wrong in the end. When Elon breaks the rules we are on a new path of him rewriting the playbooks. The amazing thing is that people don't learn. If your friend is always correct when you argue with them you are not an idiot unless you don't start to acknowledge that you are probably wrong. You just sound like the rest of the naysayers now who think they know better. By all means, let's revisit the video next January. It is kind of amazing to say this, but everyone looks like a silly child when they question the strategy of Musk.
As a certain SMR would say, Truth is being spat! Anybody that can't understand or won't accept what you're saying should definitely sell their Tesla stock - to investors who will better appreciate the ride to the Moon!
K.. When does the rocket leave orbit? Value to investors must translate into share price. When does that happen? FSD has been just around the corner since 2019. They've had at least 2 restarts to its development. It still can't drive itself from New York to LA.

Musk did say that he didn’t need money, he needed control over Tesla not to be thrown out when major goals like AI and robotics are achieved. I would do the same if I were in his position
In addition Elon is working for free as he gets no salary, and the old compensation plan run out a few years ago, so he has been running Tesla for free.
Bullshit. Of course he needs the money, after massively overpaying for Twitter and driving it into the ground. Musk has a long history of lying about things and going back on his word. I say this as someone who was a fan of his for a long time and still hopes Tesla and SpaceX succeed.
If he wanted control over tesla he shouldn't have flushed 20billion dollars worth of it down the toilet just to ruin twitter. If Telsa gives elon more shares what happens when he dumps it again to fund his next flight of fancy? SpaceX development going slow? Just dump more Tesla shares to fund it. No worries Tesla will just screw over the share holders again to give him back what he wasted?
It would be fair and helpful to do a breakdown of the 12 tranches tied to this bonus; Musk's, part-time working status as he devotes himself to building many other financially-conflicting business distractions; the constant delays of the Cybertruck; Tesla stock falling 50%; and bailing out his brother's Solar City with Tesla corporate funds. This would be helpful to help us understand if the $56,000,000,000 was earned or if Musk gamed the system like the Robber Barrons 100 years ago. This award of $56,000,000,000 is $28,000,000 for every year since Jesus died 2000 years ago (or $76,000 every day since the time of Jesus). Did this "part-time employee" earn this amount with all of the above-cited problems? Honest question seeking an honest answer.
Elon Musk's behavior is perfect for me because it scares away investors after each earnings call so that I can buy cheap Tesla stocks. The fundamentals of the company and the future of the company is still rock solid with or without Elon Tesla will be a massive company in the future if they just execute on their current plans and executing on those doesn't require Elon even though it would help having him there.
its dead money for the next 6 months, but I do think this will be the last time you will be able to get TSLA between 150 - 200. Elon's wealth is tied to Tesla and so at the end of the day, he wants the stock price/company to do well
lol, this company is not profitable from this point forward. facing huge competition from the chinese, pretty naive from elon set up all production in china and now they just come after u with cheaper variant. any ways tesla is finished, there just no way they can justify this valuation for long period of time. even selling 10 million cars at the current level wouldn't justify it
I hope so. Got a lot of skin in Tesla. May I add that, Elon doesn’t seem Interesting in getting rich per se, but he is interesting in having money for other projects or businesses.
I think they are setting themselves up for big beats by lowering expectations. Interest rates will be coming down soon and this will be a great help. If they deliver on the gen 3 production platform, investors will be very happy.
Did you listened that Elon is asking for more shares or he may develop AI outside of Tesla? basically he wants to dilute the current shareholders to pay for his side hustle at twitter...
Elon's strong character and spine makes me double down on supporting him, and it gives me more confidence that we have the right guy leading Tesla. He isn't going to let activists take over the company without a fight, whereas all these other companies just lay down and take it, and worse, think they're being moral because of it.
@@AlphaCrucis Elon has no character. He's a hack and a fraud. He has no idea what he's doing. He doesn't care about free speech. Except for his own, of course. He cares about nobody but himself.
That's heroic on personal level as well as free speech activist as well as fighter. But for Tesla, it's a disaster. Let's look Tesla car as Electronic device. What is Major companies which controls Hardware, Software, Play store and any tech delivery? It's apple. Apple is something everyone in US loves and want to have it. If Tesla wants to compete in that section, Tesla or Elon Musk should not rub others wrong way, Now the Left, Climate activists are turning on him which can severely affect sales. For Tesla, Elon Musk politics are disaster.
@@BigHenFor build a series of billion dollar companies, face down black-rock and then give us all the benefit of your “expertise”, until then, maybe stick to criticizing people you actually stand a chance of understanding
Elon Musk is a little unhinged but his behaviour is independent from the financials of the company.... People will be looking back at this is 'could've been' buying opportunity in a year or two. Compare the growth and health of the company to the last 5 or 10 years... 2021 and 2022 were insane for so many reasons (with TSLA driving a lot of the optimism) Also, CNBC is mostly clowns with short-term memory inundated with all the immediate hype -- look at other sources
I followed some of your advice in the past and it didn’t go well for me. Fortunately I just invested relatively small amounts in the stocks that you recommended at those times. Your rationale about Tesla in this video is almost the same used by the mainstream media which is myopic and ultra short term focused. I may be wrong, but you don’t seem to understand or maybe you are not well informed about the paradigm changes that Tesla is trying to bring to car manufacturing, AI and robotics. Good luck with your trying to time the market.
@@daveyvane9431 Well, I beg to differ. I posted my opinion which I strongly hold. The creator asked for feedback and I gave it. And honestly, I couldn't care less about what you say.
@@photogolBut what about the evidence? This isn't a religion; its a business. And Elon knows the competition are coming. So him trying to dilute existing voting rights, and spreading his focus thinner, doesn't isn't likely to impress Wall Street.
@@BigHenFor What evidence? what are you talking about? Did you read the information on the earnings release and listened to the webcast with the quarterly and yearly results?
Elon is great and he wants more control because he has seen what happens just like open AI was a non profit and open source and got to where it is now by having that badge of non profit but it's now private for profit multi billion dollar business. Elon cut ties and hopefully everyone can see Elon is for the betterment of humanity and is most definitely on the good side 99% of the time
Pretty much! EM is a double edged sword. You cant separate the two and there are plenty of other investment opportunities if you are uncomfortable with his decision making. I however, dont see a scenario where the board does not at least give him voting rights instead of shares. No one really knows what could happen tho, thats why we diversify
Gotta let Elon be Elon. He didn’t get to where he is, and still moving forward, by listening to the likes of Cramer or others. I’m a long term TSLA investor and I am good with Elon’s compensation request. Totally.
Hey Alex, your video is fantastic! I love the way you tackled the current challenges Tesla is facing, especially with its CEO's behavior. Despite the issues, I remain bullish on Tesla and am hopeful for positive changes ahead.
Two months ago i owned 6,300 Tesla shares that i bought all under $ 140 Over the past three months i sold all my shares before that train wreck earnings call last week.
That was an option, and not everyone needs align with an appetite for potential stock dilution as a prospect. Its your money. But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and the costs of investing are going up. And Elon dividing his focus, may not got down well with a segment of investors.
I’ll have to reconsider my DCF model accordingly. My sense is that margins are still good, sales are still growing, capacity should increase in a couple years. I wonder if we’re closer to a long term bottom. All that being said, yes I wish I trimmed my Tesla position several months ago. Also, regardless of the views expressed in the video, I always will appreciate the thoughtful analysis.
Wrong, Elon said in a recent interview that he wants %25 voting power, he said he doesn't mind if the economics stay the same at %13 yet he gets dual class voting structure to achieve this. "would be fine with a dual class voting structure to achieve this". This means he isn't after money, but is worried that he would be overthrown by huge hedge funds that are "routinely infiltrated by people with some weird ideas about control". And since Tesla is about to be in control of the largest AGI robot army in the world, it isn't so crazy that he wants that to stay out of the hands of people bent on world domination as opposed to the benefit of humanity.
I don't get it. Whet the Optimus bot begins shipping and people see how useful it is, would it really matter what Elon has said???? And when TSLA goes 20x from here, would it really matter that NVDA has gained 2-3x or whatever??! So you prefer minuscule gains compared to what TSLA will do in the next 5 years, just because Elon has said some controversial things that hinder TSLA's performance in the short term??
@BigHenFor I didn't say it's certain! And do you think it's smart to invest with money you pay your bills with??! Also making investment decisions based off of a random RU-vid comment??! Really?!
I agree with pretty much everything you said about Tesla I don’t blame Elon for how he feels about advertisers on X or losing half his shares and voting power I just would have liked to see him being a little more professional about it. I would like to see him earn his shares back through Tesla with a new set of goal oriented rewards. That is one frock of a lot of shares and I cannot see it happening overnight.

Thanks for starting this discussion. It's a lot more impactful coming from a channel with historically clear judgment regarding Elon's companies. I'm always happy for a chance to double-check my thesis.
As a Tesla car owner and investor for many years, I can say from my vantage point that Elon is good at creating good companies, but he is showing that he has weaknesses maturing companies. His antics do not encourage me to continue to put my money and faith in him. Tesla service is close to atrocious because the company does not value its customers after the sale. @Alex your points were my exact sentiments. I guess we'll all see how it all pans out.
Thank you for sharing this! Recently discovered your channel and couldn’t be happier. As a longtime Tesla investor, I love the company and have been a huge fan of Elon musk. At the same time, I’ve been totally disappointed with each of the last few earning calls, and find it hard to excuse the way he has beenbehaving at times. I completely agree that a huge reason I’ve been a long-term investment in Tesla is because of their focus in AI and advanced technology, and I want them to continue that pursuit, full steam ahead.
NVDA seems reasonable but the coming humanoid bot revolution is going to send TSLA to $10T, maybe a lot higher before 2030. This guy seems something of a counter indicator.
@@waxweazel10 Yeah sooooooo interesting NVDA has gone up by ~20% since Nov while TSLA went down by ~10%. TSLA would need to go up by ~35% from today to match the growth @sagetology already has ...
I invested in Tesla stock way back ago did pretty good, but after hearing things are slowing down and looking at the real world that people aren't buying much EV. Hert is selling them for a discount I see the storm coming and had to sell.. probably buy when it's the right price.
I don’t believe it. Tesla hasn’t successfully broken into the technology business. They’re pretty much only in cars and energy. All their technology projects are in r&d and most r&d projects fail.
Always appreciate your input, thank you! I don’t think Elon is being greedy wanting 25% , I think he is truly playing his best chess game he can to protect the future of humanity but I do agree that he should split the burden of the cost of his endeavours with all his companys.
It's not twice as much as he currently has get your facts straight and there's a very definitive reason why he said that and based on our current political climate I agree with him and another thing he will actually get that deal done,,,
I like your points but did not see any comments on Tesla's Battery production the Mega battery is booked for years and seems to be another strong point for Tesla. But yes I am concerned of what is happening. If you think of Tesla a just a car company, I am not interested it's the other areas I am excited about
Their energy business gets always overlooked, its already a super profitable segment with insane growth and demand. Should never be overlooked. (Neither their almost 50K charging stations)
The “hater analyst community “ wants spoon feeding . If AMZN had been held to these standards during its growth years it would never have made it! I’m loving this chance to buy lower…I’m proud to own a slice of Tesla.
@@TickerSymbolYOU Wouldn't it be hilarious if you posted this video on the day the reversal started? Too early to call, but it's looking like a distinct possibility.
@@TickerSymbolYOUSorry, but I'll have to agree with @miclam00. Long term wise, we will have to circle back to this comment in about 4 years from now lol. GLTA!
My point of view is I'm skeptical of a company whose stocks are sold at a higher price than 7 of its biggest competitors combined, all of them selling several times more products, and especially when knowing such value is solely based on the trust investors have on a guy who has already deceived the public opinion by exagerating the capabilities of their products with scam videos.
I'm 45, $800K net worth. Been saving 50% of my salary, investing in stocks & living below my means. My goal this year is to be more serious and consistent with my investments for long term. I want to invest more this year but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk. I'm worried with the numerous bank failures as of late, am I better off reinvesting my savings in the stock market or do I wait?
It’s never a bad day to invest as long as you keep averaging in and have cash on the sidelines. I’d recommend some etfs like SPY, VOO, VTI. Also some dividend etfs like JEPI JEPQ
Elon did not say he wanted more stock. In fact he said he didn’t want it on the earning call day. He said he just wanted to have more control of the company because he has always been worrying the unregulated AI technology
A Winning beginning to the week for the EV sector.. FSR.. Fisker up 13 % Mon.. Lucid rising 27 %... EVTL up 14 %.... HYLN up 8 % and JOBY up 9 %.. and others. Will more Dip-buyers arrive Tues.? Thumbs up video/ comment. Thanks.
There's a big question if FSD Robo-taxis will even be profitable. The maintenance cost of the fleet will eat into margins, and the biggest uncertainty is the Regulatory Environment Robo-taxis will be forced to operate in. Because they are replacing human workers, they could be taxed to death to pay for the displacement. Then there's the lawsuits that could bankrupt the company over accidents.
once it is scaled up and Elon is allowed to import parts from lower cost labor markets... it will be much lower in costs. Also battery costs have dropped hugely... also new battery tech...
@@bartongrasshopperautomated hugely... its already started.. and i make parts for tesla last year (shorts as proofs) and welding and half the line is done by automated robots and machines...
95% of all car accidents due to humans. FSD can reduce them to nearly zero. TESLA could easily include the insurance in its fee per mile of it's future robotaxis, no lawsuits. Governments will quickly see the advanatage of FSD and the cost reduction to the social security. FSD Would become quickly manadatory in all cars. Traditional cars will see their car insurance skyrocket as the insurance risk will be carried by fewer non-fsd car drivers. TESLA could (and is) planning to build cars that last over 500,000 miles or 10 years, lowering the investment cost to more miles. FSD means also you don't need a driver. So the cost per mile would be around the cost of a train ticket, but with much higher flexibiliy as it will transport people AND goods door to door at any time, day and night. AI is going to replace workers, it's a given fact, new jobs will be defined as with any new technology revolution.
Alex, you are bringing up some valid points from a perspective of an investor. My big question is, what if he doesn’t get that 25% stake? What happens then to the company and its stock? Ugh 😩
Very few car companies make high profits. They are low margin capital intensive businesses. I suspect Toyota is right hybrids are better than full electric cars as range & time to recharge are still big issues.
I watched Elon tell investors on a conference call in 2018 that they weren't going to issue bonds when asked and three days later raised 1.5 billion 3 days later.. The party is over, it's hangover time unfortunately.
Love the video 100% correct! I love that you tell it how it is even though you know there will be people that will be upset. I LOVE Tesla I won’t be selling but agree with this take 👌
Elon sees the danger of AI and doesn’t want to lose control of the technology. I have personally seen how evil greedy people can remove leaders from companies. I want to see Elon remain in control.
My feeling is, that whilst people have varying opinions about Elon personally, the company has a board that could remove Elon from his position. Right now, I believe the board are happy with Elons tenure. I might be pissed at stuff he says… but the board are always the ones that have the ultimate power.
Really? Not with the decision in Delaware. It's a threatened diluting of stock, because issuing more stock to Elon is the only way he can legally get control of Tesla. Nobody, but Elon is happy with that being a possibility.
Great analysis, detached from emotions, which is rare nowadays when it comes to Tesla and Musk. That being said, for a quick buck, the stock will go up some as people forget his latest antics, which he has had over at least the past 4 years. For the mid-term range, Optimus is likely to corner the North American and European markets if first to market for consumers and even more for businesses to use. That is probably the key application of Tesla's tech, AI, and engineering, there's a lot of value to unlock there. But yes, it would help if Musk could just focus on business for 6 months without getting into any more dicey situations.
Another Excellent Video- you're right-Tesla Shareholders like myself have been F*D for over 3 years now with the stock only going one way...Down, he's got balls saying he wants more of the company...how about taking care of the shareholders first..Anyone that bought 3 yrs ago at $414 are down substantially..
@@fredbloggs5902 I understand that his options allow him to purchase the shares at $6 each. Provided that's accurate , Elon might be smart enough to exercise the options even if it needs financing
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 13% number for Elon's ownership doesn't take into account the 2018 pay package for which he has options for another 12% (6% after tax). Except for the ridiculous judgement that just came down from Delaware invalidating that compensation plan, this would have put Elon's current ownership (or expected ownership at the time of that tweet) at 19%. So all he was saying was another similar pay package - something like 12% to make Tesla a 10T dollar company was what he wanted. Given all the negativity in the media around his last pay package, it seemed to me like a reasonable thing to put out there.
I agree Alex. As much as I love Telsa, I just allow my portfolio to get super unbalanced like it has been in the past. There are just so many unknown variables.
If you do not know why you should be buying Tesla at these low prices you do need to sell all your Tesla stock. If you can not clearly see what the future of Tesla is going to be then SELL it go buy Apple or Nvidia .
9:58 - thisa tweet is why I sold. he literally destroyed the value propesition, and I knew the street would agree. the next day it dropped from 214 to the 180s. I saved over 15k by selling at 214.
Elon is a liability to Tesla. Initially he was good at creating hype and free advertisement, but Tesla is now too mature, too large and too important to be headed up by a man child.
@@TickerSymbolYOU The people who want Twitter to fail also want you to not own anything, eat ze bugs, and shut up. So Twitters success is probably intertwined with future sales.
Agree with you Alex. I have invested heavily in Tesla will not deploy new capital until I see there is a practically implemented catalyst that Elon is talking about for many years.
In this clip, you misconstrued what Elon asked for even though you quoted him.. He did not ask for more stock; He did ask for more voting rights ( similar to the voting arrangement that Jeff Zucker has at META ( formerly Facebook). He was not asking for more stock, just more control over the direction of the developing AI project.
Except in Delaware (where Tesla is registered) you can't have multiple classes of shares. Elon is saying this, but the only way it happens is WITH MORE STOCK, which he definitely knows.
Last year they sold 1.8 million cars. The reason I am saying that is not what u think. Elon said ALL cars will be bi-directional. Auto bidder and energy will be huge.
Thank you for this video, it was really needed. As a Tesla Invester some of this is painful to hear for obvious reasons, but I think your points are well founded.
I don’t get how you simply accept that Tsla can be competitive in AI chips or humanoid robots. How much domain knowledge do you have in either area? It’s super easy to make great demos of anything with a $billion to burn, but that is not at the same thing as having a competitive product. I have designed chips like what dojo is trying to be - it’s not that hard to design a chip to a fixed spec, but it’s very hard to compete against well-run, focused organizations with economies of scale. I expected dojo to crash and burn when I first heard that tsla was taking this detour, and Elon now saying “long shot” is recognition that they realize they can’t compete.
13:25 *making the cars impossible to repair* since the 1 part you could remove is now glued to the rest of the frame *leaving it to customers to get broke* ^^
It is the same if there are 80 individually welded parts....I do not understand how the old system would be less expensive than having the giga pressed. part in one piece. In the future, as soon as supply chains speed up I see it even easier and much cheaper to fix with whole plug-and-play parts rather than the cut-out and reinstallment of the parts piece by piece.
Chassis must be rigid meaning they must weld/glue many of the parts. Every car is made this way. Casting parts of the the chassis as a single piece simply makes it lighter, cheaper, stronger, and more consistent. Virtually every car that exists is considered a total loss by insurance if there is frame damage.
@@isaachunt5799 every car is totalled if there is frame damage. Combustion engines are technically more of a scam because you spend 3x more on gas vs electricity and you get repeatedly scammed by the stealer ships. EVs have fewer moving parts and much lower maintenance
Really enjoy the content. Unrelated to this video, you previously mentioned holding WCBR, a cybersecurity ETF. Can you do a focused video to follow up on that? Why that ETF vs others (like BUG, CIBR), are you still building a position, short- and long-term outlook, etc. Curious to learn more as you’re big in this space
The price cuts at the start of 2023 were in response to the US Gov setting the thresholds for tax rebates in the US to be just below the price of the Model 3 and Y i.e. targeting Tesla to take away the incentives they had. Tesla had to do something, reducing the price to just below the tax thresholds was pure genius and had nothing to do with shareholders.
Investing in Tesla is in many ways investing in Elon.. at least in part. Which means you need to be ok with his antics and personality. While you make very good objective points, this is the nature of the genius. It’s not for everyone. I personally think the business needs to catch up to the evaluation and we’ll see some nice buying opportunities along the way, so I’m ok with what’s happening to the stock at the moment
Einstein was a genius, and never told anyone he depended on what Musk said in public. That's his Achilles Heel right there. His latitude for such childish behaviours is narrowing. He needs both Twitter and Tesla to grow, and ad revenue does that.
That threat on AI when he already has a lackey board was outrageous. It made me cheer for his pay package being over turned when previously was only mildly annoyed by it. The description of 0 bargaining and push back by the board in2018 made the recent request look even more ridiculous
Well, I lost faith in Elon long ago. His recent antics are just... well, more of the same. As long as he is in control of any company, I would not own any of its stock. Not Tesla, not Twitter (X), not SpaceX, _none_ of them. Elon is simply unstable and does not deserve my loyalty as an investor.
Well I must admit I'm an investor in Tesla because of 2 people, Kathy Wood and Elon! Because I did my research found out Tesla is still ahead of the competition, Vertical integration is top notch, and they are selling 50% of e.v. without advertising. I get it about Elon and wish he didn't buy Twitter, but he selling cars around the world getting 25% is his way of not seeing What happened to open a doesn't happen too Optimist! Anyway long term investor and I appreciate your take.
Elon buying twitter is one of the most important events in the last couple years if you care about free speech, democracy, and Liberalism. It finally bucks the trend of increasing authoritarianism that has been growing with government and big tech collusion influenced by a dogmatic ideology that has infected the minds of an alarming amount of the population.
