Ah, yeah, sure... whatever dude.

Oh, he lied about the anti-PIPES investment of Fidelity in Space-X. That’s not even close to true.

It’s all the debt that is “convertible”, all with different investment theses and strike prices. That’s all baked into the debt instruments. 

Well, you are incorrect on two fronts.

To hurt the shorts he’s so obsessed with? To avoid the margin calls that can ruin him personally?

That’s just backwards... there are reasons money-gushing companies are left to find money in the private markets.

Yeah. This. In the old (sane) world of finance this company would never be allowed to go public while gushing this much cash. The idea that pension funds should be permitted to buy equity in a company oozing a billion dollars of cash per quarter is absolutely wrong.

Generally, stock manipulation via random public statements is frowned upon by the SEC.  I wonder what they are doing this morning?

You mean like “adult behavior”?

Which is why it’s generally frowned upon. Wonder if his 10b-5 Programmed Stock Sale Trade date is tomorrow?

Difference being that it’s usually a planned thing.  Nothing these guys do is “planned”.

I’ve never really quite understood his fixation on the Shorts. His massive short burden is not really a “we hate Tesla” thing, but more a symptom of a company that’s fundamentals are out of balance with it’s share price. UBER would have the same issue if it were public.  Day in day out, the number of shorts shouldn’t…

Wow. You have like no technical background at all do you? COPPER as a material for a chisel...?  That’s like a terrible materials choice even in the Bronze Age.

Torch,

Yeah, it’s very weird.  Kind of like they think those are the only long-term sustainable advantages Tesla have-- but I sincerely doubt either are that distinguishable in 5 years.

Every time some Silicon Valley d-bag goes off on some rant about “disruption” they need to be lined up against the same wall we should have arrayed the economists against who were telling us “not to penalize or nationalize the big banks” in 2009-10.

Gotta call BeeEss on this. Heavily regulated, lots of oversight and even basic stuff (electronic packages, safety, credit cars) were all harmonized.

There’s a solution here you’re not seeing...
