The market is panicking partly because Trump can fuck Tesla over pretty easily and seems like exactly the kind of thing he would do.

people like Musk are not like you or me.

They need constant challenge and conflict and triumph or they get suicidal. He wouldn't last 5 minutes living a 'normal' life.

With great minds come greater demons. One can not exist without the other.

I'm so tired of hearing this BS. Tons of Trump supporters buy Teslas. It's usually their preference for electric vehicles. They just don't think electric should be mandatory. Of all the Trump supporting friends and coworkers I know that have EVs, about 95% have Tesla, with the others opting for the electric Mustang. The ones that don't like Trump are about 60% Tesla, then a mixture of others, like Hyundai and Rivian.

Did or didn't?

This was always inevitable. Musk thought he had bought a POTUS and would get to be Darth Shadow POTUS (queue sunglasses and black leather trench coat). Trump was happy to take his money and let him play for a few months, but nobody takes attention away from Trump and sticks around - he makes sure of it.

Didn't.

I was stuffing my face with poutine as i was typing.
 
Yep, and this might be the nail in Tesla's badly built coffin. If Trump is one thing, it's vindictive with a long memory. I cant see him not coming down on everything Musk owns.
 
They are probably playing Switch 2 Mario Kart World couch coop laughing at everybody falling for it.

Elon doesnt give af about his share holders, he only cares about himself. He's too rich to ever have to actually worry about money and he can easily spin whatever happens to tesla as being trumps fault instead of his.

All that for the opportunity to (try to) take down the president after (according to him) putting him in office is a trade hed take in a heartbeat. I think he genuinely believes he is the most important man in the world.

Is this actually a theory floating around? That's this is all some WWE style fake fight for media attention? What could possibly be the justification?

Elon said recession is coming in the second half of this year due to tarrifs. i am pretty sure trump and everyone in his inner circle knew this. i wonder if this leads to a sell off in summer.

lol the market is forward thinking bro if its the case we hitting the cirtcuit breakers next week, not in a few months time
 
i never owned tesla stock but i rented a model 3 a few years ago cause hertz didn't have anything else. it kind of sucked cause i had to sit and charge it for over an hour literally 4 or 5 times over the course of 2 days. almost stranded me in the dead of winter up in northern maine hick country. made it to a super charger with 8 miles left on the battery and then had to sit there for like an hour and half to get a decent enough of a charge to get home. after that experience i don't understand why this car sells so much outside of it being a status symbol. the batter tech just isn't there yet. other than that it was pretty fun to drive but i prefer a stick shift with real gears.

also, the chargers ultimately are powered by fossil fuels at the end of the chain anyway, so one could argue not actually saving the environment, and it's only like 25% cheaper than normal gas.

Nonsense. We(main street) are already in a recession and after the covid recovery, have been since 2023. We have the highest credit card debt on record. They even had double negative GDP and claimed it wasn't a recession.

GDP isn't a good indicator of recession anyway because inflation makes it go up but hasn't been anywhere near inflation and also government spending is included in GDP which also keeps going up and distorting it.
 
Damn. Sold my Micron too early yesterday. Made some good money (about $15k) flipping a few times the past few months including just recently. Will get back in if the price drops a bit.

In theory electricity is energy currency. So the idea would be you wouldn't care how the electricity was generated and you could use new forms of energy as they became available. As long as it was converted to electricity you'd be good. Of course the big problem is like you say, it's mostly natural gas and coal. But there is an energy system that could take it's place, but we don't want to talk about nuke. (FWIW nuke's big problem is it takes a long time to have it return on the investment. If you're an energy supplier do you want to build a plant that's going to take 20-30 years before making a profit, especially if activists can show up at any time and try to shut you down?)

Shhhh. If you carry on talking like that you might break the illusion that electric vehicles are the greenest of green.

EV cars (especially Teslas) also depreciate fast. Nobody wants to pay good money for a used EV car with a potential bad battery after a bunch of years requiring a replacement.

So whatever energy savings someone gets will lose it all back on high up front priced EV cars and eventually selling/trading it back.

Also with Elon Musk at the helm, the brand also has a political angle to it, which a lot of people dont like either. Hence why Tesla car sales have dropped a lot lately. Brand reputation sinking. So with demand dropping, the resale/trade in values will drop even more.

Ya I sold same day, I had a limit sell for $103.99 but overnight it jumped up to ~$107 on opening. So luckily it sold instead at $106.24 at opening and not my original limit sell price.

I'm reluctant to buy it again, apparently Chinese dram is being flooded into the market.

Ya. MU kept going. I checked my account. Got out at $106.70.

I did a position in ST Micro.

I got HPE for a while and breaking even. Bought at I think $21, then avg down at $15 during April meltdown. Missed out getting in at the low of $12. Avg price around $18. Made tiny amounts of money on HPE over the years. Bought at $10 way back during covid, got impatient as it did nothing for months then zoomed to $15+ right after I sold! Then bought maybe a year ago at $20 or so, sold it I think around same price. Have never been able to catch this stock at the right time for a run up.

after the covid boom stock has been doing nothing. blaming the drop because of tariffs is just an excuse. they can make apparel anywhere to get around the tariffs. apparently they want to focus growth in China which makes no sense since they're not an ass-centric culture nor do the women have the physique. But at this price maybe it could get back to the $400.
