To The Moon

Seriously? This is the most sycophantic, fawning, partisan rubbish I've read in ages. Aside from the obvious deference it affords the cruel, divisiive, self-serving sociopath at the heart of this "news", it does nothing to dissuade Joe and Jill Average retail investor that their role is basically to provide insiders and their hangers-on (like, umm, "Dow Jones" who authored this rubbish) opportunities to be fleeced by sharemarket distortions. Like...

... as IF the article would helpfully point out that "most investors want to keep the Malevolent Tyrant around" actually means most of the SHAREHOLDERS want it around. Tesla's manufactured share price is a trainwreck-in-the-making that I have every belief will catestrophically collapse in the near term, taking all or most of Joe and Jill Average retail investor's money with it. But, naturally, sparing institutional SHAREHOLDERS who have majority control of pretty much every listed company on earth, and the means and inside knowledge to escape with their life - and money - from a sinking ship. I emphasise SHAREHOLDERS to differentiate them from INVESTORS referenced as wanting to keep the despot around. INVESTORS are the individuals like you and me who own proportionately f**k all of any listed company, because INSTITUTIONS are always by a huge margin the majority SHAREHOLDER. Ergo, they run the show because it is the number of SHARES, not INVESTORS, who make all the binding decisions for and about listed companies. I very much doubt the majority of INVESTORS are in favour of the Reprehensible's equally reprehensible remuneration package, demanded only because the Spoilt Brat wants more control of the company. Well diddums, if it wants/wanted control, perhaps it shouldn't have sought the now trillions of dollars from publicly listing it, and kept it as a private company with the attendant responsibility of raising all the capital needed to scale it up to what it is today. With, don't forget, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS' taxpayer dollars lavished on the fledgling Tesla, just another in a long line of corporate welfare beneficiaries. The scale of which, incidentally, render individual welfare recipients almost invisible by comparison. Despite being constantly demonised as the biggest drain on scarce taxpayers' money when in fact it is corporate welfare (and endless tax cuts for the rich), that divert orders of magnitude more taxpayers' money from meaningful purposes like, mmm, health care, education and other irrelevant democratic purposes.

... as IF the Narcissist is going to imperil either or both its obscene "remuneration" package or Tesla's equally obscene and deliberately/insider manufactured price by telling us Tesla's robotaxis will NOT be launched on schedule. My view is the launch will certainly be delayed, but if not the sub-standard launch product will NOT be fit for service and in a worst-case scenario likely kill somebody within a day or few of launch.

... as IF management would tell us self-driving Teslas and new models will NOT repair brand damage. Too late, they will not. At least not until Oompa Loompa's BFF no longer has anything to do with Tesla. (Incidentally, that cute little firestorm the other week about the Board looking out for somebody to replace Orange-Aide was nothing more than a cleverly orchestrated bit of market manipulation, ie as soon as the Board emphatically refuted doing any such thing, Tesla's share price began yet another of its manipulated upward trends.)

... as IF this article would admit the bulls are NOT in control but like all parasites, merely gorging on the unearned, windfall profits generated by all sorts of dodgy insider doings and deal making - now so subversive their influence cuts deep inside (and out again) the White House - that have propelled the objectionable Tesla brand into the stratosphere.

... as IF ANY of this load of rhetorical rubbish passing as wisdom in any way addresses the real, insidious and opaque reasons "Why the [Tesla] Shares Are on a Great Run".
