Mr. Musk continues winning

Tesla up another 6% already today.


Mr. Musk's incredible bet of going all in on Mr. Trump continues paying off. Other EV makers getting trashed or stagnant.

Tesla now up an incredible 28% since Wednesday.


DJT Truth Social way down.



Looks like Mr. Trump will be doing some incredible ass kissing.
Musk was definitely the smartest person in the room. Maybe he saw Trump as a useful idiot. Most of us just see him as the latter half of that.

Riddle me this - why is the Tesla stock price going up if trump is likely to scale back/eliminate all of those generous EV subsidies the dims have rolled out over the years?

You tell me.

Musk, like Putin and Netanyahu, have found a most useful idiot.

He did a lot for Trump in this election. Musk does not work for free. After he is done manipulating Trump into whatever position he wants in the government, I can't even imagine the billions of dollars he will have made after Trump's 4 years are up (assuming Trump does not get assassinated, get 25th'd or impeached) during his scheduled term.

Those who think Musk even remotely cares about the greater good of this company are funny. Musk cares about his companies and his money. He could give a flying fuck about the average Joe like me or you. https://www.hrdive.com/news/elon-mus...ulture/703298/

The good thing about Musk though is I think he will be harmless for the most part with whatever government position he wants. Yeah, he is greedy and will enrich himself further, but he is the richest man in the world so that's to be expected. He did not become that rich by being a saint.

Bill Gates once made a huge short position on Tesla, and Musk asked, "Why do you do this? Why do you short Tesla?"

Gates replied, "Well, I talked to my financial advisor, I looked at the data analysis, and I think it's overvalued, so I will make money by shorting it."

Musk responded, "Why do you care about making this little money? I thought you supported electric cars, supported climate change, and wanted to save the world. How could you bet on Tesla's failure just to make a little money?"

Then he turned away disappointed.

This incident made Naval realize that Musk is a purist. He means what he says. For him, money is just a tool to achieve his goals. So it's crazy to be willing to believe everything he says on the surface, because many people who set ambitious goals are just to inspire others, but you know they don't really mean it.

Mr. Musk is already influencing foreign policy regarding Taiwan and Ukraine.



Was it the future VP joining Mr. Trump on the call to Zelenskyy ?
