He can be both: really awkward and a Nazi. Or am I huffing paint thinner?

Again, judges don’t GIVE A SHIT what you call it. They give a shit what things ARE.

And they will utterly fucking smack Tesla over this.

Judges aren’t stupid people (at least not in Canada; can’t vouch for American judges seeing some of the decisions Down South). You’re not going to fool them by renaming things. That’s the kind of view of law that a toddler would hold. “I didn’t spill my juice because I call it … ah … foobles now!”

Yeah, I imagine it stings.

That’s OK. I learned more than a few things about my nation of citizenship when I moved abroad and watched it from afar. A lot of them stung badly. You get over it; even get motivated to try to undo some of the bad things.

Starting to spread outside of the USA?

Non-Americans were first to drop Tesla thank you very much!

Jesus American exceptionalism is one HELL of a drug!

I seriously question how these “richest person” “statistics” are calculated.

Oh, that’s easy.

Take the number of shares he owns in various enterprises and multiple by the share price.

Yes, it’s really that stupid.

This is why the long fall of TSLA was such a visibly harrowing time for him. A few back-of-the-envelope calculations with some reasonable assumptions about the loan deals he has (which we lack specific details of, but have long histories of banks making these sorts of deals to draw upon) says that TSLA being at 200 is where trouble can start, with 175 being the point where it’s almost certainly started (and likely been going for while). By 150 he’s in full-on disaster mode for certain, as one margin call after another forces him to dump stock to pay, causing the stock to drop farther and trigger ANOTHER margin call and so on and so forth until TSLA fell into penny stock territory and he had nothing from it.

I think you’ll find that (aside from Tesla dealerships not being independent businesses) judges aren’t stupid. They issue judgements on what things are, not what you call them.

This kind of legal shenanigan has been smacked down time and time again (even in corrupt third-world countries like the USA!) to the scammers’ shock. Tesla is fucking around … and finding out.

Family guy. He, as Mayor Adam West (?), tried to execute the ocean for killing people using “eye for an eye” logic.

It’s just a notion he clings to. He was told “X.com” was a stupid name that nobody thought was cool waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when and he’s absolutely fixed on “proving” that X is the coolest letter.

How do you know they’ve always failed? BY DEFINITION if an idea has been killed you won’t know it existed.

It is impossible to find a depth to which the Ketamine Kiddy won’t sink.

Agent Orange hath decreed that all igniters of all-holy Tesla shall to places be transported in which the rights of humans weigh little.

It’s weird that Hitler himself, who appears to be an expert on whether something is a Hitler salute or not, agrees that Musk’s “awkward gesture” is … a Hitler salute.

There’s a side-by-side comparison between the Apartheid Manchild and HITLER!

A lot of Clarke & Dawe energy here.

I check the Nazi stock every morning for a quick pick-me-up, personally. I also like to get ALL the Nazis:

🙄

Yeah, shorting is not a good strategy if you don’t have very deep pockets.

Tesla stock was doing slightly better for a couple of days, yes, before starting another downward turn.

And yes, the Apartheid Manchild is leveraged to the hilt. He famously doesn’t take (much of) a salary from his companies, preferring, for tax reasons, to get money through loans with his company stock as collateral. While the specifics of these are, of course, private, the general rules such leveraging tends to follow are well-known so we can make a few educated guesses.

My own such guesses are that starting at about a price of 200 he may see the beginnings of margin calls where the holders of his debt force him to repay a portion of the debt immediately or to sell off stock until he can pay off that portion. By 175 it’s all but certain that margin calls have started (and quite possible they’ve been going for a while). By 150 the bulk of his loans are making margin calls and his stock tanks as he is forced to sell off ownership.

And of course when he starts getting forced to sell off stock, the stock falls possibly triggering more and more margin calls until TSLA is briefly in penny stock territory before it rebounds to roughly its actual real value. With the Manchild having no actual money to show for it.

There’s a reason he’s resurrected that whole “I deserve 56 billion dollars” case despite that being a massively inappropriate thing to claim when his stock is melting down. He’s going to need cash soon that’s not leveraged by his stock.

Keep in mind that the sixteen year old edgelord in this picture was 23 when it was taken.
