So they say, pumping up the Twitter traffic count.

There was, in fact, very little booing.

I doubt Musk is bawling his eyes out because someone else might have a couple of billion bucks more than him today.

rcocean म्हणाले...

Sounds like a nothing-burger to me.

Notice how the liberal-left is putting the Alinsky rules in effect regarding Musk.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Lars Porsena म्हणाले...

Oops, Elon finds out that all that EV vehicle innovation, space travel, and free speech, doesn’t cut it with the cool kids,

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

I listened - I didn't hear over-whelming boos. There were boos - but not "so hard"


What Joe Smith said - the left only love you when you sing their praises, cover for their lies, and give them money.

Now it's Clintonian destruction time. Musk = the dog Hillary poisoned.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

Drudge posted that Musk wasn't the richest man anymore-> early last week.

Sorry, honey - the boos didn't do it.

Tho - it is true that progressives - who are loyal to the prog porn cause no matter what - will probably stop buying Teslas. That's how they roll.

They will find out that the only company that sells a relatively "low" price all battery EV is Tesla and that most of them can't afford the other brands. They will have to choose between Musk and walking or Musk and climate change bad actors like gas powered cars or buses.

Yes, I can - and that ain't art.

Sorry, our bad -- we hadn't yet received our directions from you on how exactly to interpret and discuss this post.

Actually, it's the bleating of an overgrown child...which means it fits perfectly on Twitter.

Not even in the top 80% of tweets in terms of artistry. Try again.

San Francisco fruit loops need to take their act outside. Perhaps they can boo away the reality of human feces in their streets.

readering: "tesla down 60%."

LOL

After a 2 for 1 stock split in 2021 and a 3 for 1 stock split in Aug of 2022!

A solid indicator of future performance: Tesla's order backlog is quite healthy with Shanghai production coming fully on line. Currently its about 200,000 vehicles for Fremont/Texas Giga plants combined and about 120,000 for combined Shanghai and Berlin giga factories.

But hey, that GM and Ford stock is just sitting there waiting for someone to pick it up cheap if the mean tweets and continued exposure of leftist/dem/govt corruption is gettin' you down.

When were their last stock splits btw? 2000? 1980's? Something like that.

Maynard म्हणाले...

My sense of Elon Musk is that he treats money/net worth as so many poker chips.

He is not spending his money on a lavish lifestyle.

PM म्हणाले...

What happened to "disruptive" - the mantra for all things web?
Musk is being disruptive. Big whoop.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

I didn't know how Chappelle had introduced Musk.

That intro easily gave way to the feelings of disdain some people are bound to have towards someone like Musk. It took away from what Musk might have been there to showcase, i.e. I'm here showing my support for the would be cancelled. Not only in words but in action, there's a heck of a lot more freedom of speech at Twitter than before. BLA BLA BLA.

Instead, it insinuated billionaires can buy whatever they want. Including their acceptance. I would have booed that too.

Okay.

Althouse has gotten the anti-Elon signal. Must participate!

You don't even know how ignorant you are.

Tesla Market cap.

See! This totally reinforces readering's fascist bullshit and shows that Musk bringing free speech to twitter is bad!

Let's see how competitors are doing...

Government Motors Market Cap.

Ford Market Cap.

Gee, they all look the same and they all started going down in early 2021.

What happened in January 2021 that could possibly cause inflation to explode and market valuations of almost every asset in the world to fall?

Democrat voters are just fucking idiots.

Biden is still in office. How powerful can it really be?

You know who else isn't as rich as they once were? All those excess woke Twitter employees Musk fired.

I suspect that Musk can handle it.

Thank you, Drago, for reminding us that Elon Musk is also groveling in front of Chinese Government masters, much like Apple and the rest.

Your free speech hero isn't going to do much when his Chinese government advisors tell him to bend over.

They prefer dark money in redistributive change schemes, to abort the baby, cannibalize her profitable parts, sequester her carbon pollutants, and have her, too. Think progressive prices ("inflation") in an Ouroboros cycle (e.g. Medicare/Medicaid/Obamacares).

Dumb Lefty Mark: "Thank you, Drago, for reminding us that Elon Musk is also groveling in front of Chinese Government masters, much like Apple and the rest.

LOL

Sorry the free speech is hitting you in the face like a freshly caught trout.

And I'm very, very impressed with your willingness to stand up to China....finally....at long last....but not really...since you are just here to criticize Musk...not China...as expected.

But do go on about Musk's "groveling" to the ChiComs when Musk is the sole reason why the ChiComs are no longer even close to being the space launch leader as they were not that long ago. That would be Spacex kicking the ChiComs derriers and its only going to get worse for the ChiComs after that. Currently, Spacex launches more payload to orbit than all the other space agencies, national and private company, combined. I'm guessing your ChiCom allies aren't thrilled about that.

Not to worry though. Your democratical pals are still willing to bend ALL the way over, as they have since the 1990's, to advance the ChiCom's interests globally.

We'll just chalk this up as another failed Dumb Lefty Mark rhetorical ploy.

Art or not, you do know they hadda issue a second tweet that Musk was, once again the richest? Minutes later? Right?

Mike Petrik म्हणाले...

I don't understand much of art, and I don't understand that Tweet. So there you go.
