Tesla stock is now down 52% since Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter in April, losing over half a trillion dollars in market valuation.

In just the six and a half weeks since Musk took over Twitter on October 28, Tesla stock is down 31%, losing $225 billion in value. pic.twitter.com/W1ukdbpkte

Whatever one may think of Elon and his new conservative politics, it is an extremely questionable move to become a public spokesperson for right wing ideology while running an electric car and solar panel company. Liberals were probably 75% of his customers (at least) and he has completed lost them. I predict Tesla stock price will continue to plummet as Elon is clearly distracted and prioritizing Twitter.

---

It just goes to prove that ideology trumps everything for the left. "Yes I want to buy a car to save the environment because I care. Also, screw the environment if the car company is owned by someone who doesn't recognize my pronouns".

---

LOL. Don't let reality get in the way of your projections. This fall in stock price is not about plummeting car sales, or customers at all. Tesla will break a new sales record this quarter again.

It's about investor sentiment taking a hit because of Elon's Twitter distraction, and his politics pissing off 50%+ of the country.

Elon needs to take a page out of Michael Jordan's book...

You are truly the delusional one.

You think 50%+ are pissed off by his politics? Sheesh, you live in a false reality.

---

Well, Republicans have only won the popular vote a few times in my lifetime, and I'm almost 40.
But, *I* am the delusional one...

For every fragile, virtue signaling, lost soul, lefty that Elon loses by being rational, and a classic liberal, he gains at least one from the middle or middle right.

This is not a rational dude. Not right now, at least.

All stocks down recently, btw. Not specifically Tesla.

I'm not saying other stocks aren't also down, but...

Elon was a big part of Tesla stock pumping in 2020 and 2021, but he's also a huge part of it tanking right now.

For Context: I used to be a borderline Elon fanboy. I own TWO Teslas, and 100% of mine, and my wife's IRA money is in $TSLA, and 90% of my Brokerage money is in $TSLA. I'm learning the obvious lesson of "Don't put all your eggs in one basket", the hard way.

Sheesh, you used the OP's exact, stupid tweet that he got slaughtered for. Not sure I should spend anymore time or energy on this.

Edit to add: please tell me you know the difference between doxxing and asking for help identifying a deranged criminal who threatened a toddler. Lefty's are losing their minds by Elon taking away their precious censorship.

From what I can tell, he didn't get slaughtered for the tweet. Looks like he got slaughtered for his interpretation of the tweet. I have a different interpretation. But, I'm pretty sure you glossed over that part of my first post that you replied to.

This does not add credibility to your judgment/analytical abilities as context the way you think it does.

I'm not surprised, though.

---

Well, even back with $TSLA was skyrocketing, I had plenty of smart investors telling me that ELON was the risk for investing in $TSLA, not the company itself. Looks like their intuition was spot on.

Nothing but a troll. Post and run.

HAHAHA I know who the Village Idiot is.

I knew a Aggie who made a ton of money selling candles. They were scented and unique candles. He made money hand over fist. $millions in fact. Until other business like Kmart, Walmart, Hobby Lobby started doing speciality candles…..and encroached into his small niche of specialty candles and he no longer makes candles. It was a good run while it lasted.

Today I was looking at a Car & Driver type of magazine out of Australia and the entire magazine is dedicated to show casing all electric cars and car makers. I didn't realize how many car makers are offering electric vehicles. It is almost scary.

I'm not paying for one of those cry-laughing emoji.

Sandy Munro just told via Reuters that Toyota (the most profitable Auto Maker) makes $1,273 per vehicle and TSLA makes over $9,743, a figure the go-to guy on all things in manufacturing (all types, not just cars) has never heard of before!

TSLA has so much money they can't figure out what else to do with it!

Here's just one way TSLA becomes so profitable!

---

Just to be clear... Tesla isn't making $9,743 on the sale of a EV. Tesla is making its money by selling the Carbon Credits on the EV to people like Fiat to reduce their Carbon Tax.

Gov requires companies to meet a certain fuel efficiency and if they don't, they pay a tax. They can pay Tesla like $500M to reduce their Carbon Tax from like $1.3B.

It is free money taken from traditional Car manufacturers and given to companies like Tesla.

Fiat Chrysler spent around EUR 300 million ($362 million) on regulatory credits in Europe last year -- most of that with Tesla.

Quote:

---

Tesla generated about $1.58 billion in revenue from sales of regulatory credits last year and has never been profitable on an annual basis without credit sales to bolster its automotive margins.

---

Now, if you are Fiat Chrysler... you give away $362M to a competitor... OR, you find a way to reduce that cost into your own products.

Q3 earnings report:
Auto Revenue: 18.7 Billion
-Of which regulator credits: 286 million
-GAAP Net Income: 3.292 billion
-GAAP Net Less Regulatory Credits: 3.006 billion

Maybe, but its Tesla's work with electrical infrastructure that may end up more important as some have pointed out. Only the one thinking of the logistics behind the vehiciles is going to be able to be the `iphone of EVs'.

I'm buying as much Tesla stock as I can at these levels. No debt. and 3 billion in net profits last quarter. 2 monstrous factories barely online and ready to ramp. What people here in the US don't understand is that the demand for Tesla's in countries like Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Norway, etc. is off the charts. One shipload of 4000 teslas was sold out 30 minutes after the website came up in Australia. I have to get my Tesla news outside of the country because the woke anti-Elon media has so much dumb s*** on their face they can't see straight.

Tesla is literally dragging the planet and other car companies into a greener renewable world and the liberals don't give a damn. It's the craziest thing I've seen based on pure emotions and not logic. Hell Elon doesn't even like Trump but because he's not fully woke they throw him in the right wing, natzi, racist club along with everyone else that's not far left.

It is not new conservative politics.


It is actually being a liberal that doesn't have to silence people because what they say or believe makes them piss their pants like a toddler being toilet trained.


As a liberal who has been on this board since before you could walk, don't lecture on what he is doing.


Free speech was the anthem of liberals until pansies like you took over and need to punish people for different ideas.


Bite me.

Tanya has always had my respect for her strong convictions and fortitude to put up with the razzing she gets for her opinions, but I usually felt like some of the poking was warranted as such is the nature of online banter.

I am willing to bet a good chunk of money that I am not the only conservative libertarian on this board who is completely shocked at just how much sense Tanya has been making the last few years. She is now one of my top favorite posters. What a bizarre and wonderful thing to watch unfold.


Carry on

Thank you.


I have a rare role in trying to further certain things that are important for the survival of this country:


Reminding people that Mr. Darcy is the greatest character ever in a novel.
Celebrating that there is nothing wrong with a love of fruit snacks, squirt cheese, or The Jonas Brothers. Now, I would not do all three at once, but would never judge you for it.
Continuing to beat the drum on how awful and wrong the DH is.
**** the Dodgers
Celebrating that Bud Adams is roasting in hell with 10,000 paper cuts for stealing my Scoreboard Spectacular.

But most importantly, creating a country where a smart assed, smart mouthed teenage boy doesn't end up canceled and kicked out of school because he does not acquiesce to current trends or nomenclature.

Without the freedom of speech he can't read Thomas Sowell and then binge the rest of Breaking Bad or Rick and Morty.

Twitter is private, but they should never ever cooperate with the people who ****ing work for us to hide things from public view.


We are all better knowing the dirty laundry.
We should not be afraid of our government. They should always be fearful of us

I'm a moderate conservative and I can agree with all of these points. Even the Jonas Brothers love.

Thanks, bring it up with Sandy and Reuters.

Is it snowing in hell?

Coincidentally Tesla launched their energy arbitrage program in Texas today.

Absolutely love this post! It actually makes me sad that OP is such a damn idiot.

Have anything to say about Aaron Rupar being banned?

Did he violate the user policy?

Op, What about RIVN?

Why is it down? What did it's owners do?

Tesla was and likely still is way overvalued

Why there are bound to always be some. This guy just puts it out there for everyone to see. Funny thing is he thought he was so smart and gloating when he posted that tyrannical trash. In his little mind he was showing us what he thought was the power of lefty mob and their tyrannical cancel culture weapon. But instead he showed his economic ignorance and unfounded arrogance.

This is just dumb. Most stocks are falling like a rock. People are so stuck on their politics that they can't see the truth right in front of them.

I can only add that it is a mere 35 miles from Boonville to Marshall the internationally famous home of Jim The Wonder Dog.

TSLA has been overinflated for years. Stock price has 0% to do with Elon and twitter.
