        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.

      You jest, but I would seriously consider the possibility that he’ll sue anyone selling the stock, and sue the government for not investing in it expressly.

      I mean, god, the tantrums he’s thrown at having advertisers take breaks—because I don’t think any of them truly left—from Twitter should be proof enough of the possibility.

      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.

    At the end of the day, there are actually better electric cars now for the price. Even starlink is starting to get major market competition for cheaper.

        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?

      The entire stock market is likely overvalued by 25% or so. This is a regression to the mean, accelerated by the fact that Musk no longer seems to care whether Tesla is successful or not. Probably because he sucked out all the money via that incentive package the board approved a few months ago.

        The pay was in stock options. It essentially doubled his ownership of Tesla from 12% to 25% so he in fact cares a lot about the price.

        The stockholders are definitely morons for agreeing to it. Pay the fashgeld and you never get rid of the fash.

            Yes, we’ll see if it sticks. The prior argument was that Elon effectively controlled the board, and when he convinced the shareholders to vote in favor as well he lied/threatened them and invalidated it. This is just cynicism but I wouldn’t particularly expect that to stick, but who knows?

    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.

          There are good indications that the stock is overvalued by as much as 10 times, even after the recent drops in stock prices. A lot of that appears to be propped up by his hype. If the stock just normalizes to values typical of other car companies, it will be a major blow to anyone that owns the stock.

          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 jest, but futures can actually go negative. At one point during covid a tanker shortage meant you could be paid a few $100 to accept delivery of a barrel of crude. Some people were joking about filling their swimming pools.

        It didn’t halt, it was boosted. That is how insider trading works. Same with the yo-yo tariffs.
