      they have only survived so far because hype and government money. they have never been profitable. the stock could halve again and it would still be overvalued

        It’s like 20x too high as it stands going by p/e ratios compared to the rest of the auto industry. Like 5-6x too big compared to tech companies. It’s wild.

    That’s illegal! TSLA is not allowed to drop. Prepare for your mandatory stock purchase, citizen.

      And then the citizens will own a chunk of Tesla? And we will see our investment pay off when it does well?

      Pretend I made that into padme/anakin meme.

    If your erection lasts for more than 1h, see a medical professional or stop watching the Tesla stock prices

    The stocks are merely at pre-election levels and look like they have now stabilized unfortunately.

      Down 5% today, not super stable. Could have been a dead cat bounce last week.

        The instability is great for inside traders eg those who knew about the Whitehouse lawn stunt in advance. That was not a dead cat bounce, it was the stunt.

        But the trend since the stunt has been stable enough.

        I certainly will be looking at the graph each day rather than reading articles describing it.

        Reminds me of how people laugh at the yo-yo tariffs, totally ignoring how insider trader buddies of Trump must love it. Is an overall economic decline going to bother them in comparison?

    Disclaimer: I’m stock illiterate. Are his other companies also trending down? Or are they not publicly traded or whatever? Is it known what % of his wealth comes from Tesla (vs Starlink or SpaceX)?

      Most of his other companies are not publicly traded, so there isn’t much direct comparison. But Tesla has widely been known to be hugely over-inflated for years and years now, the bubble had to burst sooner or later. It is definitely being hit harder than the rest.

        Tesla was overinflated because it was run as a software startup, where they had money pouring in from venture capital. They had money coming in, but it wasn’t simply from sales. Let’s see if that stalls too.

        But wasn’t his Tesla shares used as collateral for the Twitter financing? If Tesla tanks enough, won’t his Saudi banking backers raise hell?

      Trump apparently tried claiming it’s illegal to boycott Tesla. They’re most likely not happy about it lol

    I wonder if Elon is probably going to bail on Tesla after he gets all his SpaceX stock hooked into government contracts and stuff.

      Some youtuber was saying as much. A lot of his wealth is tied up in Tesla and a lot of Tesla’s valuation is tied up in Musk. But Starlink is making far more than Tesla, he owns a larger portion of it than Tesla, and he’s selling Tesla shares. If he makes the right moves he can entirely walk away from Tesla and leave the shareholders holding the bag.

          Pretty sure he can’t, since he isn’t a normal person, just like he and the rest of the board have to announce any shares they buy or sell.

      You mean Boeing’s screw up. They were the designer/manufacturer of the capsule that had issues. Plus Musk has very little if anything to do with SpaceX engineering or operations (Gwynn Shotwell is in charge of operations). Mostly he just does “Funny” shit like telling engineers to make Starship more pointy.

    it is still overvalued anyway. they havent shown the profitability and growth potential that its current price reflects, not even after plunging as much as it did.
