Musk is a douche and a fraud, but dating someone 17 years younger than you is like scrub tier rich guy creepiness.

You don't even get a callback from the league of lechers until you cross the 20 year mark.

there was a guy in the AI ev thread who went all hardcore "oh yeah? if tesla's so bad why don't you short them?" for like ten pages every time someone brought up the model 3 graveyards

Regular shorting is dumb because it's a crowded as hell trade, expensive, and can explode you even if you're eventually right. Buying a way out of the money put limits your losses and can pay off a lot if the stock actually goes to zero by 2020. Assuming you have like $900-$1000 to gamble on these kind of irresponsible financial decisions.

At the very least, two contracts is probably a more exciting way to lose $2500 than a model 3 deposit.

Not if you're buying options though, since the maximum loss is whatever you paid.

Edit: but also professional options market makers still have like a billion computers calculating how to keep as much of your money as possible.

hobbesmaster posted:

what kind of options can you buy for tesla that approximate shorting?

Puts.

Most people lose money buying options for two reasons:

They misjudge the time box or price target, and the contract expires worthless.

By the time John Q Shitposter has figured something out, the priced in premium is already so high there's little to no profit left.

So like, a JAN 2020 85P on TSLA selling for $9 breaks even if the price hits $76 before then. However if you actually think bankruptcy is a thing before then, then the stock goes nearly zero, and that $9 gets you ~$76 of profit. 1 contract is 100 shares, so $900 yields $7600 in this scenario.

That's a ballsy bet though, because it's 18 months out, and if 2020 rolls around and TSLA is still clinging to life at all, then any price above $76 means all your $900 is gone.

Several Tesla Gigafactory Workers Allegedly Trafficking 'Significant Quantities' of Cartel Drugs, says Ex-Employee

lmao

quote:

Hansen claims Tesla received a written notification from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration/Storey County Sheriff’s Office Task Force in May, “alleging that several Tesla employees may be participants in a narcotics trafficking ring involving the sale of significant quantities of cocaine and possibly crystal methamphetamine at the Gigafactory on behalf of a Mexican drug cartel from Sonora Mexico.”

this was a finance guy i sat next to in class. he often brought up how luxurious his uncles home and cars were, always following it up with his catch phrase “money all the way” which he repeated 2 or 3 times to make sure my silent, natural Botox Quick Release expression wasn’t because I didn’t hear him. i did hear him, and I heard him every time he told me his parents were all hedge fund manager and he was setting up bus own fund too.

always busy, busy, busy. i guess he was so busy and well organized that he changed his Facebook occupation to CEO of an investment company. still, he had to repeatedly remind me that he couldn’t yet solicit investment advice until legal things were in order. i never asked once, so clearly his preemptive disclaimers worked.

with busy class-filled days, and likely pressure from his family to succeed in his classes, he made up for his exhausting class schedule by sleeping in the classes themselves.

sadly the class room environment was a distracting place to try catch some shut eye. he’d lightly droop his head for 3-4 minutes before needed to turn to me to ask “was i sleeping”. it’s a human desire to get validation from their peers, and apparently so for ability to appear sleeping in class. seemingly unsatisfied with my answer that i didn’t know, he tilted his forward head and closed his eyes again. a minute and a half later, a jolt and “was i just sleeping”? “i’m sorry, i didn’t notice,” i’d say. i hoped if i kept it up all semester he’d don pyjamas and kept in a sleeping back then pop back up to ask “oops, was i just sleeping?” “hmm? not that i noticed”

i did most of our team project, and after polite reminders for weeks, texted him at 3AM on due date asking for his part of the assignment. his words? “i’m not like you. i’m a very important business person. I have meetings, not dumb kids stuff”. he handed in the work andrew minutes later but admitted it was simply done with an automatic feature in Excel and he had no idea what any of it meant.

is beat him on every single exam and assignment, and told the professor he contributed nothing to the project at all.

anyway thanks for reading, and “money all the way”

Sounds like a nerd got bullied into doing someone else's homework.
