TSLA showing cracks? - Page 206 - Business, Finances and Investing Forum

"I think we'll have something interesting to announce in a few months... that's better than anyone thinks is possible," Musk told Rogan of Neuralink. "Best case scenario, we effectively merge with AI."
Musk says his new technology will be able to seamlessly combine humans with computers, giving us a shot at becoming "symbiotic" with artificial intelligence.

Are you actually serious? This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read that was meant to be serious. It's twice as dumb because of the arrogance.

He’s Trump, business edition. A lifetime fraud and con man whose bull**** is finally catching up to him.

In which ****ing sense does it catch up with Musk? You guys are only talking, because he (for his very own reason) is not raising money by selling equity. You guys would be quiet if he had $3bn more in the bank - let alone $5-10bn.

You really think this is the most probable reading of the evidence at this point?

Outrageous, seriously pissed off Elon didn't inhale. Stock should be crashing on that news alone. Rookie mistake...

If you think it's dumb, then please explain why. Also, explain the arrogance part as well, because I'm not really sure what you mean by that.

A thesis floating around is Elon should want his shares margin called (starts at 232) to repay his loans, because he cant sell right now likely with SEC/MNPI

If TSLA has to file BK before margin called he would likely be liable for his personal loans and have to liquidate other assets (spacex shares)

It makes a lot of sense.

I mean if this all ended with Elon someone saving himself by screwing the cult, it would just seem so fitting.

The movie/mini series would be so lit too.

Are the inhale posts jokes? I dont think anyone cares if elon smokes weed. I think people care that he is dumb enough to do it on a live stream.

I was joking about him inhaling but honestly it isn't a great sign to do it on a stream and not even know how to do it properly.

Hypothetical scenario that I give a ~10%-20% chance of happening in the next few months:

How do we think the market will react if Tesla gets a capable #2 to Musk to help manage operations? Seems that would be a pretty huge positive for the stock

How do we think the market will react if Tesla's board ousts Musk? Price crashes significantly further right? I think this scenario has a ~2%-5% likelihood in the next few months.

I get that ultimately the thesis has more to do with cash/debt at this point but these are also in play and will impact the price.

Funny, the short burn of the century doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would.

Comment from a Seeking Alpha article:

I think going forward they should hire two CAOs so they have a backup when one quits.

Can't vouch for legitimacy of this, but twitter thread about Tesla bouncing a $30k check for a trade-in:

Also, apparently the folks who built the "Factory Addition" (a.k.a. The Tent) have filed a lien against the company:

The best possible take on the CAO leaving after one month and leaving behind $10 million in options is that Tesla is such an incompetent ****show that he decided it was impossible as a working environment despite the extreme pay (many multiples of even large S&P 500 companies).

The reasonable take is that the books show that Tesla is ****ed and it's a zero.

The worst take is that he saw serious accounting fraud and legal issues pending and decided to get out before it stuck to him.

Even the best possible take is extremely bearish on the company's future.
