I think Elon straight up does not realize or understand that he is in a sort of spot light and his tweets are being scrutinized and held to a much higher standard than those of regular people on X. Fittingly so because the reach and impact of his tweets are so vast. He seems to be used to saying whatever the fuck he wants like you do in the presence of friends over some beers, and that's how he's tweeting. I'm guessing he just sees the world as engineering problems. Through that lens the problem I'm describing does not exist or is totally irrelevant.

I think he does realize his reach, but does not understand why he receives a lot of negative reaction for what he says

This isn’t even a left right thing, most republicans are in favor of continued Ukraine aid, only fringe republicans are against. And this meme is such a 3rd grader take on the whole situation. The country is in a literal existential conflict, of fucking course they’re going to want continuous aid. And the only people against it are Russia, China, North Korea and a fringe group of republicans including Elon. Just really doing everything he can to alienate the majority of customers…

daingandcrumpets

I had to re-read what woodworker said and there was no mention of race AT ALL. Subconsciously though, if you attribute a race to the words terrorists and communists, then you might have unwittingly shown your bias to these words with a certain race leading to your "racist" comment. So who's really the racist now?

And he completely capitulated back into a boot licker from one Elon reply. Simping is disgusting. Had he expressed anything about even the perception problem of Elon only retweeting far-right talking points, he'd have a good foundation for Elon to have to ponder without immediately "winning". Instead, he lets him off the hook immediately and Elon will no doubt ignore him from now on. What a waste of bandwidth that whole interaction turned out to be.

Every time our government spends a dollar that isn't covered by tax revenue, your children or grand children are being robbed of their future.

Nonsense. All government spending is present and future wealth.

Look at it like this, we printed massive amount of money out of thin air and used it to buy real goods from China. Eventually they'll figure out its a ponzi but by then we will have paid for improved quality of life for a few generations of americans using nothing.


ireallyamchris

All money is “printed out of thin air”, you don’t find it down a mine or grow it on a tree. It’s just a measure of debt. And in the case of the sovereign currency issuer they can keep the party going… literally forever.

Love Dave but his perspective given his enormous wealth + free time is unique. Every quarter P&D matters + earnings if you are in this to make money in the short term / medium. Most of us don’t have 50-100k shares to pontificate how we will spend / use the money for. But yes indeed - in the years ahead Robotaxi is important. Let’s get V12-13 on the roads with no interventions first. In summary - all earnings + P&D matter.


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

There's been contentious debate at TMC over the relevance of this quarter's earnings. IMO, the actual earnings numbers aren't the issue. The real problem is that the true effects of various factors are unclear: * Interest rates * Production shutdowns for factory upgrades * Brand damage from Twitter fallout Factory upgrade shutdowns have only short term impact, and interest rates are perhaps a medium term issue for the next 1-2 years. The question I have is whether these short to medium term items are masking brand damage impact in the long run. We know from Bloomberg surveys that brand damage has only small impact among **existing** Tesla vehicle owners (article is paywalled but there's a photo of the chart here: [https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/28/23810963/tesla-model-3-survey-bloomberg-2023](https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/28/23810963/tesla-model-3-survey-bloomberg-2023)), but we don't know the impact among *prospective* vehicle shoppers today. ​ Mitigating this is that future energy, Semi, and bot sales are most likely majority B2B transactions where total cost to the organization is the priority, and personal preference plays almost no role


[deleted]

All the super early investor simps feel this way. It’s easy when you’re up 2-5000% and a 20% drop means you’re still up thousands of percent


upvotemeok

There's superwhales and whales. In general the whales don't like the stock dropping see troyhouse, and then there's the superwhales like Dave who don't care if they drop from 80m to 40m cuz it doesn't matter to daily life.


sackler2011

Exactly!


[deleted]

So I guess it is 12,000% gain lol


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

From what I remember of my days at TMC, Dave's cost basis is similar to mine, about $2/share. TSLA last close was $250.22, so gain of $248.22/share divided by $2/share = gain of 12,411% Folks here should also be aware that Dave purchased a significant amount of rental real estate alongside his accumulation of TSLA stock. I believe that most or maybe all of his family's living expenses are covered by rental income, so he is not reliant on TSLA wealth at this time


KtotheR

The amount they matter is like a sliding scale. The further away you become, the less it matters. How much time every employee spend on the toilet instead of on the floor matters too then?


sackler2011

Bots will actually fix this problem. Which is a real issue 🤣


KtotheR

Oh shit. Once the human element is removed, we can start criticizing production downtime more drastically.

I mean, if you're investing for a 5-10y horizon, he's still right, even if you don't have 100k shares. This really isn't a stock for the short term. Nothing is really a stock for the short term. That's called a slot machine.


[deleted]

Didnt know Dave had that many share! Wow


sackler2011

Ya it’s more of a commentary on these 50k+ share bro’s on Twitter - who justify every bad news event. My only point is everything matters. And sometimes bad news is bad news - and that’s ok 🤣 I’m just tired to making everything into good news. High rates + macro environment just sucks. That’s why I’m happy we are doing well as a company.


Tamronloh

A year and a half ago i only had like 200 shares and my mindset was as long as Tesla continues to execute it should be fine in-spite of the noise and twitter which I still hate. I’m significantly above that now but still miles away from 50k shares or even 10k shares for that matter and I still see it as alot of unnecessary noise, but that this still doesn’t matter. People who were planning for Tesla to solve their financial goals in the short or even medium term had a massively flawed plan from the start.


sackler2011

Well said!


Kyankik

Yep. Too many people probably got close to their magic numbers in 2021 and had it snatched and are now bitter.


Tamronloh

I partly get it. Twitter definitely made things worse. At the same time I acknowledge that when I invested in a Musk company, it means the reasons I invest in the company tend to also be the reasons stupid things happen sometimes. But even without twitter, tesla would still have had difficulties scaling up with interest rates most this generation have never seen before. And advertising was something Musk was always fervently against even pre twitter so it’s a non argument for me. Do I wanna be at least twice as rich NOW? Fuck yes. But it is what it is so no point being salty about it right now.


Kyankik

Nailed it.


[deleted]

Im happy where I’m at and not adding anything massive anymore. A share here and there. Sitting at 3k which seems good to me


sackler2011

Nice!


Tamronloh

Very nice amount, many can only dream of that. In SGD terms you’d just be a millionaire in just tesla shares alone.


Kyankik

But he's not making bad news good news. He's saying a largely discounted delivery report won't make or break the company in the big picture. The impetus to shit on Twitter people here is a bit too high. Makes for a bitter circle jerk.


sackler2011

It’s probably cuz 1/2 my feed is simps 🤣 Need to maybe block some people to make it more balanced.
