Now excuse me while I proceed with the disenchantment of my washing machine that continues to fill itself with stinky water. At this point I am certain it is tainted by the dark mechanicus. I also found no less than 4 marks of Chaos body piercings from the previous owner in the pump filter.

in minnesota we used to swap stories about running into prince in the grocery store, or the times we saw him but didn't say anything because he was at an event in disguise (which is something he did). we cant do that anymore but we can still swap stories about how misaligned the body panels were on the tesla we saw the other day. in conclusion: elon musk is bad

- losing the solar city shareholder lawsuit, or the very damaging evidence in there getting some actual coverage
- papering over the plant being closed half the quarter with claims of a quarterly profit being simply too bogus to swallow
- the ongoing doj, sec, or nhtsb investigations concluding with a damning public report of some sort
- a twitter not mad meltdown that goes beyond the pale, even for him and his supine board

i have difficulty believing any one of these (or even all of these) would be enough to push investors away. it's already unclear what people are investing in with tesla, it certainly isn't anything to do with the business itself, so i can't imagine any of that will affect investor exuberance.

otoh, since people are just imagining whatever the gently caress or following the early money, it could totally just eat poo poo one day completely divorced from any kind of actual news

the collapse of capitalism would do it, but i think even a mild economic recession could blow up the whole thing. the global money spigots pumping cash into all these dumb DiSrUpTiVe companies will turn off eventually

yeah i know :smithicide: i should have said that while i think those are the most likely triggers, i don't think any of them are that likely at all!

someone has been making very large way out of the money call option buys, which i first noticed early this year, maybe in a way that tricks the algo investors to follow suit. starting to get more coverage: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/tsla-rockets-higher-again-someone-panic-buys-massively-otm-call-options

i mean, gaining billions in market cap when there's no news or even just bad news is v strange.

i think the end would only come if production slips badly or plateus. we can bang on about how there hasn't been a CFO for three years or the SEC or whatever, but while there are still millions of ravening fuckwits out there desperate to buy the cars and they can meet some of that demand then the ship will keep sailing.

stock price was up during the 3 or so weeks Tesla was producing zero cars

even another EV company, Nikola, which has zero revenue and no production capability is worth $20 billion

the worst thing these companies can do is build cars

it was three weeks during a shutdown, who cares? and elon was visibly trying to get things going again.

Tesla makes a product that millions of people want. while that remains true they are going to keep getting traction. anyone can see they make the product poorly but until you see an actual demand drop it doesn't matter.

agree that Nikola thing is dumb as hell though, 20B for a pre revenue manufacturing business is stupid.
