Elon Musk buys Twitter

[Nollaig O Muracu]

What a goddamned pussy. Loses a few quid so walks away.

How are his fanboys feeling today?

God forbid a man does the Nazi salute and alienates his customer base.

People still don't like Nazi's?

How could he have known?

Actions have repercussions in the real world.

Who would have known ?

Surely people aren't just going to say, oh well that's okay Elon give us the cars now

Are Tesla basically, fucked?

Not with people who like fascism.

Thing is though, Trump/Elon supporters/fans don't strike me as the ones who would be buying EVs anyway.

Sure part of Trump's promise was to mine for liquid gold.

Good example why I generally don't invest in individual shares, Tesla shares up 9% despite wildly missing targets.

Tesla is suffering from a nosediving reputation, falling market share, falling sales, is running an operating loss, with a quite old product lineup, a poor track record of actually bringing product to market and no actual tangible advantages from an AI point of view.

And yet, it still has a market cap 15 times that of Volkswagen.

Total greenhorn hat on now.. is this because purchasing stocks and shares would have required you to have an account with the likes of Davy up until say 15 years ago, and most of those customers would have been private wealth being sent in for investment by traders in there who knew what they were at, and if you did fancy a solo run when you rang to ask that they buy Tesla shares for you someone would have said exactly the kind of things you just did and most would have backed down. Whereas now there are countless online/app platforms meaning your average Joe Soap can speculate and dabble freely so you the price is distorted by people investing in brands and ideas as much as market data?

You can buy shares without a broker now?

I've never bought shares in my life lads so go easy on me.
