But there is a difference between owning companies in an index fund versus owning an equity outright. I somehow stumbled into Nvidia 3 years ago, and the growth in that single stock dwarfs the growth in any index since then. If I were a judge in a position to boost/kill a single stock based on a position I held,…

Republican appointed judges love taking every possible opportunity to prove that they don’t have the the character and temperament to be judges.

Hey all of you readers and writers, I have a bumper on my car. I charge $4 million per sticker to allow you to advertise on my car. I see that you folks haven’t been advertising there and thus, have not paid me. So I’m going to have to sue all of you for that.

Texas is truly Thunderdome.

Even corruption is bigger in Texas.

It makes sense when you realize he’s the richest man in the world, a white supremacist, and a fascist. He bought Twitter, not to make money or to foster free speech, but to amplify and promote the voices of the most fascistic, racist, anti-progressive views on the platform.

Blaming his idiotic behavior on some sort of mental illness is a lazy diagnosis that relieves him of responsibility.

The Board will never do anything to remove Elon. He has padded it with the biggest sycophants he can find. They basically think of him as the second coming.

The board can fire him. The shareholders can vote to remove him from the board. 

Here is a question above my pay grade: Legally, what options does the board at Tesla have at their disposal? I ask because I assume Musk must be legally tied to the company and cannot be removed. Because at this point if Tesla has any chance of survival its going to require removing him from any and all aspects of the…

“Deep-throated” would be more accurate.

I wouldn’t call it “favorite” politician, I would call it “easiest to manipulate” politician. If we know anything about Trump, we know he can be bought for the low low cost of just $1/day

Pretty much all of the NFL owners comes to mind.

I’m trying to think of a business magnate who has so thoroughly ground his reputation into the dirt as Elon has and I am completely blank.

After Trump confirmed that Elon endorsed him “Full Throated”, it’s clear old muskrat will do anything for his favorite politicians.

Because it’s an exact equivalent of the “We’re a Republic, not a Democracy” nonsense. Quibbling over technicalities in an effort to push an agenda. They’re an authoritarian state that controls their economy to levels and in ways that countries with anything like a free market could never tolerate.

Well, they have a lot of government support don’t they, as anywone with an Apple devise can attest, the Chinese can build excellent things if the price point is there.

To be clear, this isn’t because the US can’t manufacture electric vans for billionaires, it’s because there isn’t enough of a market for it, and the US government isn’t interested in subsidizing it.

Anyone rich bastard in the US who really wants a luxury electric van can pay a custom coach builder enough money to fund…

Yeah, so you’re wrong.

Yet it kicked off a revolution to electrify the entire auto industry both domestically and internationally. It may have been a lower volume luxury vehicle with sub-par build quality, like an Aston Martin, but it did what nobody else had been able to do up to that point: mass production of EVs that were actually…
