Master Political Social Media Thread

[I_have_purplewood]

Purp, is the concept of Tesla stock doing better when the CEO of the company isn't in the headlines for doing something really rough ridin' stupid a revolutionary concept for you?

So it's doing better because he isn't in the headlines as much?  Not because of actual earnings?

Yes, purp people tend to feel better about business when the CEO isn't in the news for leveraging said business to spend $44 billion to acquire a damn social media platform while pulling Saudis in. If you think this is a rocket ship you should buy in now, but you know full well he'll do something really rough ridin' stupid that will tank the stock again. My guess is that the next tank will be from investors freaking out from Elon not being able to pay the bills at Twitter Inc.

While there is a little truth to this, the bigger picture involves a tad more than gossip about those darn Twitter bills that aren't being paid. 

I also love everyone on here questioning the Twitter buyout price.  I'm guessing he has a little better grasp on what he's getting into more so than our CNBC quarterbacks here at gE.    It's close though..

If their price is supposed to be based on actual earnings, then it's still very overvalued.

. ok

Just compare it's market share and revenue with everyone else who makes vehicles.

Thanks Cramer.

How do conservative tesla bros deal with the supposed lib push to eliminate gas powered vehicles? Celebrate? Drag libs for being woke? Both? It's probably both, right?

This is the reason I am willing to consider he is a genius.  By his maga pandering through twitter he has effectively eliminated conservative opposition to green vehicles.  You can't be hardcore pro fossil and also be pro tesla. 

It may have been a master stroke turning your F-250 driving slob into a tesla/EV fanboi

They aren’t pro Tesla they are pro Elon. Similar to Trump, the positions are less important than the person.

They are the same.

Found out today that one of my direct employees is perma banned from Twitter for calling Elon a bitch. Free speech indeed.

[sonofdaxjones]

I'm sure that's a tough work around

[Gooch]

Nope. No bearing on his work product at all!

purp i have to say its a bit astounding that you aren't wrapping that ol' galaxy brain of yours around this. Like if i was pharmacutical giant Perdue, and I was expecting a big shipment of chemicals to make opiods, I would be very reluctant to entrust the delivery of that cargo in the stuardship of a truck driver who has a meth habit, has feolony warrants out for his arrest, and also he knows what he's transporting. Tell me you can understand why Perdue might seek out a different delivery service?

[wetwillie]

My god did Purp and the Green revolution just double down on the Elon worship by saying the Twitter Acquisition at 3X the market value was a good deal?

ownin' the libs: priceless

I don't think anyone had a bigger problem with the Twitter buyout price than the guy who desperately tried to back out of paying it until he faced certain doom in court.

If you mean Elon and Trump act in the same way, absolutely they are the same.

"Conservative" Tesla bros are really "cool tech" bros who spend crap tons of time on 4chan and the like and do the whole free speech/anti woke culture stuff, more than worrying about environmental libs. They general either don't care or are passingly care about the environment, but the real issue is "free speech"

yeah, it's a good company, the stock price is just (still) divorced from operational performance.

Oh look! Another long winded, nonsensical analogy from BAC!

Again, I would rather be on the side of Musk knowing what he's doing rather than the market gurus that we have here.  I will say that I was a tad scared when everyone who had a twitter account here decided to quit and go to a different platform though.  Oh.....wait.... they didn't.  They just continue to bitch about that crazy blue check mark. 

Elon worship? 

Side note..  I'm kind of sad that you've made your way to the pit..  . You were one of the last pure ones. Now it's just clams.

[sonofdaxjones]

Have we determined if Tesla is just a car company or a tech company.  Has perpetually triggered #blueanongE called that one yet?

BTW - Intel 32% year over year decline

yes sometimes its necessary to use analogies to explain complicated (or in some cases not really very complicated) ideas in a way that more pedestrian minded folks can understand. If it didn't seem necessary in this situation i wouldn't have done it. but here we are.

We haven't and won't.  Btw, would you have time to help me remove my Elon Musk statue that's in my front yard?

[sonofdaxjones]

Is this removal because he exposed lunatic hyper conspiratorial paranoid #blueanon political leaders?

That and I apparently worship the guy because I had the balls to post the TSLA stock price after their great earnings report.  Oh, and I didn't call him a dumb dumb for overpaying for Twitter..... that everyone is still on.

Nice try armchair pundit Steve Dave, I’m sure Elon knew exactly what he was getting into purchasing twitter.  He’s playing highly leveraged 4D chess.
