      The guy owns the US government. Waking up to what? That he’s unimpugnable and only going to grow more wealthy until the US crashes and burns?

        They’re waking up to the idea that his actions may impact them personally instead of just everybody else on the planet.

      $TSLA is down 30% since Q4, costing Musk $106 Billion. Even better, he already put up half of his shares as collateral for personal loans.

        Don’t worry, the feds will throw enough money at Tesla (and Musk’s other businesses) to keep him richer than God. Plus, he’s seizing control of the regulators who oversee financial institutions, any creditors who come after him could be risking serious retribution.

        You always put a loan on your pumped up stock. The loan is the clean money.

      Oh no, Tesla stock is only up 500% over the last five years. That’ll show him.

        I’m feeling as hopeless as you (probably) are, but every fall has to start somewhere. Just give it a chance.

          Honestly, I’m starting to agree with this as well. I feel like i saw this same article maybe a month ago and the same comments as this, but at that time I think it was only half of the drop it’s at now. Keep it going!
