That is a very Trump like disingenuous comparison at best ,
No matter what you may think of Musk's eccentricities he is no Elizabeth Holmes and his companies do deliver actual products unlike Theranos whose miracle products never actually existed.
LMAO.
Elizabeth Holmes 2.0
It's not even in the same league. Musk calling the asshole diver pedo is not going to ruin him or Tesla. And the pedo diver provoked Musk and frankly deserved it. But I would've called him asshole instead of pedo even if the diver was pedo.It was erratic and self-destructive behavior by Musk to libel the diver who criticized his submarine. Chevy Chase had to pay $1 million for defaming Cary Grant with a tasteless joke.
Was this Musk cracking under pressure, or does he have an informal understanding with Chinese or Saudi investors that he neglected to pass on to Tesla's board? I have no idea. Based on his behavior both are plausible to me.
(I have no direct financial interest, I only invest in stock and bond index funds never individual stocks.)
If the theranos comparison was legit, all of those pictures would just be renders of [Star Citizen development].
For disclosure, I have way over quarter mil in Tesla stock so I obviously back and believe in Musk. And I'm in process of increasing my stake to over half a mil in the coming days to try to profit from all this FUD.
Think logically. Why would Musk put himself and Tesla in huge legal and financial jeopardy and risk going to jail just to temporary boost the Tesla stock price for a day or two? What for? Musk is no dummy. He's been planning this taking private plan for months. My guess is he got some verbal commitment from the Chinese when he went to Shanghai to announce the building of the next gigafactory there. He's using Chinese money to build the Shanghai factory instead of Wall St money and I bet some sort of Chinese money is also involved in this going to private deal.
Basically if you're short and believe the FUD that's being spread here and out there in the media, you're betting Musk went crazy and wanted to completely ruin his reputation and wanted to go to jail so he could temporary move Tesla stock price up. Knowing full well the stock price would crash and Tesla would be financially ruined forever and everything he built at Tesla thrown down the drain. Does this sound logical? Who's more crazy? Shorts and Musk doubters who believe this crazy narrative or Musk's tweet? Any logical person would believe Musk and wait to see his proof instead of jumping to stupid conclusions. We'll find out soon enough who's telling the truth. My money is on Musk.
Look, he and Tesla would've been sued even if he didn't tweet and used traditional PR release premarket or afterhours. It doesn't matter. There's going to be people pissed he's taking the company private and feel like he's not paying them enough for their shares to go private or some other complaint. Tesla is still being sued for the SolarCity acquisition. Michel Dell was sued by numerous firms for his take private offer claiming Dell low balled the buyout price and didn't offer them enough for their portion of the shares. Trust me, Tesla will be sued by people saying the $420 buyout price is too low and frankly I think so too. I'm not going to sue but there's a chance the final buyout price could be higher than $420 to please some of the vocal dissatisfied shareholders.Logical or not he's being sued as a result of what he tweeted. How does someone with such great ideas and as CEO have such poor business acumen and be so careless with what is tweeted? In the past month it was calling a hero a pedophile for not using something his company built and now this.

As for the British pedo, he's no hero. He's a pedo and an asshole.
Seriously, what, the, fuck? You have to be talking about someone else?

What I think of the British diver has no bearing on Tesla. Do I think the British guy is a pedo? Yes. Do I think he's a hero? Nope. Do I think he's an asshole? Yes.He's doing the same thing from the long side that I was falsely accused of doing from the short side in this thread.
You're free to judge my comment as anyone else. I'm not here to kiss anyone's ass.Seriously, what, the, fuck? You have to be talking about someone else?
Had to remove the rest of your comment because it conveniently clipped the last bit in its condensed format and I feel like that needs to be highlighted for how fucked up it is.

Does that make me horrible person? I don't have to answer to anyone.

I said the exact same thing in the Off Topic Stock Market thread. If you're curious, you can go read that thread.Then why did you go out of your way to make sure that we are aware of it? FYI, it actually does have bearing on Tesla, because making such claims comes with potential liability and that definitely will not be good for Tesla stock. It sure seems to indicate that Musk was not in the right mind, and not sure if you've noticed but people saying stuff like that has often come with consequences for the company they are part of.
And your basis for that is? Likewise? And?
Yes it does. I hope you seriously don't think you can go around and make any claim you want without any repercussion.
That you feel simply not calling someone a pedophile for no reason as kissing someone's ass is incredibly bizarre.
The British diver is no saint. He's the one who first instigated it. Musk just fired back. The exchange basically boiled down to two people calling each other names like a fight at the playground. If you punch someone out of the blue, you have to expect punch back. Maybe that's what the British guy was counting on.In other words, you're so invested (literally) in Tesla's success that you must defend it and anything Musk does no matter how awful, just like the GOP and Trump.
Musk drowns a basket of kittens for looking at him funny? They deserved it the little fleabags!
