    Lol, 5 days are a pretty standard length of time on stock trading websites. It is a week in stock trading. Netflix got crushed (to a degree that it made news), and it is down less than Tesla.

    Again, that is less than 18%, right? I'm just checking. You are literally trying to find companies with more than 18% losses over the last week, and are like 1/4.

    Just about all tech stocks are down double digits. To single out Tesla as a singular big loser because of the Twitter buyout is disingenuous

    Well that isn't true. Microsoft is down 2%, Apple, Salesforce, HP, and Cisco are all down about 7%.

    You're grasping. I have pointed very popular tech companies down double digits over the last 5 days and you're still trying to blame Tesla losses on the Twitter buyout.

    Let's see, you have made a bunch of inaccurate claims, such as exaggerating how much other companies are down or that "just about all tech stocks are down double digits." And I am the one grasping. Okay.

    Meta high 5 days ago was $207 it closed today at $174.95. That's more than 13%

    You're also avoiding the obvious that there are more than one tech stock down double digits over the last 5 days

    I just linked it to you. It opened the 21st at 201.53. It is now at 174.95.

    (201.53-174.95)/201.53 = 13.19%.

    Thanks for coming out

    Yes, inaccurate claims. You tried to claim that "just about every tech company is down double digits" and reported inaccurate information on multiple stock prices.

    I generally don’t care if Musk takes over Twitter. My main concern is whatever you think of him, and there’s a lot not to like, he is a big thinker and definitely has a talent for bringing big and worthwhile ideas to fruition. Getting distracted with Twitter distracts him from what he is good at and it politicizes him that doesn’t help his cause either.
