yeah, either just finally threw in the hat for the obvious reasons, or possibly the sec stuff is not quite resolved yet and there is some inside knowledge about it (that stuff is complicated enough that companies like goldman may have experts that know of procedural issues which are too specialized for smaller investors and the media to pick up on quick)

"loquacious and mendacious" is a pretty good musk descriptor

quote:

Meanwhile, the idea of "transportation as a service" ("TAAS") has been gaining traction among FSD watchers. Some analysts have gone so far as to claim that Tesla will not simply be a major player in the TAAS space, but the dominant one. This notion is at the core of Ark Invest's $4,000 price target. While a few other analysts would go that far, many do ascribe lots of value to Tesla's future in TAAS. For example, Morgan Stanley's (NYSE:MS) Adam Jonas, ascribes a third of his $291 price target to Tesla's notional future TAAS vertical, which he has dubbed "Tesla Mobility." Yes, Jonas, a real-life Wall Street investment analyst, sees a currently fictitious business division as worth $95. Sure.

Here is the rub: When money managers and the investing public alike realize that Tesla is just another automaker with an inferior FSD technology, the impact on the share price will be profound. Fresh talk about near-term profits or Model Y production will be insufficient to justify Tesla's share price.

Also, according to rumor, there's a margin call looming on Musk. It's not known if it's at 250 or a lower amount, but the long and short of it, if you're trading on margin, you take out a loan to buy stock. If the stock dips below a certain amount, you have sell the stock to pay the loan off AND cover the difference yourself.
