Go to X and read Doug's posts it will become very clear.

If Cybertruck was from another company Doug would be doing cartwheels praising the technology.

Cathie was buying TSLA when everyone said they were going to go bankrupt. Let's see if you can take a lesson from that.

What does that really matter? As long as he doesn't make stuff up, he's entitled to his opinions, he's entitled to dislike any person or product. In general, I don't like Doug's review style, so his opinions on Tesla don't matter to me. What matters is how I feel about the product I own, and I personally love being a Model Y owner.

On TSLA, all I can say is anyone who has bet against has lost. Some big

And I'm entitled to call out his hatred, which is blatant. Unless Doug is not human his seething hatred for Elon will affect his reviews.

Either 1st or 2nd most money lost by short sellers in history. Which is essentially what cherry picking a timeline is it makes you a short seller.

Yep, you're entitled to call him out. I won't step in your way

I'm certainly holding on to my TSLA. I'm probably going to have to hold longer, but it's never let me down, my paid off Model Y is proof . I saw this coming at the beginning of the year, I think even Bit and I were talking about this a few months back

I mean, Elon is an anti-Semitic piece of garbage, so it's perfectly fair to hate him, regardless of ones' feelings for Tesla.

Her net worth is a direct result of investing.

She has an awesome record unless you intentionally narrow the time horizon which is exactly what you are doing. I have no idea why at this point. Moving on.

I think just about anyone can turn $400 million into $250 million. But to do so in just two years, during a historic bull market, truly takes skill.

Ark Invest has destroyed $14.3B in investor wealth over the past decade.

Why would Katie Wood or anyone for that matter invest in such a company.

I knew nothing about her or that fund so googled her wiki up and learned a new interesting term "wealth destroyer"

thanks guys for finding support for my 'concerns' about dear cathie.

but hey, she's a staunch tesla stock disciple (despite it being the worst performing sp500 stock this year) so must be defended at all costs (and losses).

Shall we revisit this in the future? Or just pretend you didn't post this like all your other predictions over the years. BTW thanks for painting investors with a slur, very classy stuff I expect nothing less from you.
