Tesla business discussion

On the flip side, if Musk wanted to have more control and a bigger share of Tesla now is his chance, antics and all...
He sold many of his shares already on the downward slope of the share price- pre Twitter takeover. haha
Now that would be genius.
Nothing is ever what it appears to be that's for sure.
Maybe he's making a huge mistake or maybe it's by design, who knows.

I wouldn't put any of that past Musk at all!

My not financial advice is if you think a certain company is going to be the Tesla killer (since Tesla is losing market share) that is the company to invest in. I've had discussions with people (similar to what has been posted here) that were adamant once the big players get serious Tesla is finished. For some reason they never, ever invest in the Tesla killers. Not one dime that I know of.

So here's a great example. Musk comes onstage at a Dave Chappelle show, these are Tesla's customers...and even more damning they are less left leaning than most because of Chappelle being advocate of free speech and "anti-wokism"...and he gets booed.
Thats BAD.

Musk isn't playing 4D chess here. He's struggling, and his ego is getting in the way of any return to something approaching normality. There is only one viable path for Twitter, and that's to restore advertisers revenue. That few large spenders will want their brand on a platform where the owner and CEO is more focused on edgelording the latest white hot meme and sharing alt-right conspiracy theories than running the business is hardly surprising. At some point the penny might drop. The MyPillow guy isn't going to spend enough to pay the interest he's saddled Twitter with.
And it's this that's dragging on TSLA. Well that and Musk's uncontrolled lunacy exposing how weak and ineffectual TSLA's board are.

I do find it funny that you say the Toyota family is going to be fine, when you left the Toyota family.

And like it or not, Musk has become a political figure, he's done that himself. You can't discuss him and how he impacts Tesla's business without understanding that. Its not about what any of of our political leanings may be, its that any politics and business don't mix.

We can discuss the thread topic without bringing up the P word over and over. You should know better.
Of course they do. You abandoning the brand (valid reasons IMO) means others are doing the same. Every customer is important that's how business works.

I wonder if it is wise for Musk to run three very different types of businesses in Space X, Tesla and Twitter - simultaneously?
He may end up being a Jack of all trades, but a master of none.

Just my opinion.
The other stuff you mention I would love to talk ideas about but is forbidden because it reaches into areas and conversation that are not allowed here but just my opinion.
Doesn't mean they aren't fun subjects to talk anout but I will not do it here.

The reality is that if there are no ads, there's no Twitter.
