    TSLA was worth $328 a share on the day he announced the Twitter acquisition (April 14, 2022). Now worth $350 a share. TSLA has faced other headwinds during that time which obviously have an affect on the share price as well.

    And worth $361 per share on April 1 2022, which was before Musk announced he was buying Twitter.

    I don't doubt it. Musk turning Twitter into a Trump propaganda machine and spending more than $100 million to reelect Trump is going to continue to pay huge dividends.

    Trump strategically befriended Musk. Big win.
    Kamala befriended Oprah, Katy Perry and Beyoncé.
    The dems are terrible with money once again…20 million in campaign debt.

    My point is you took a snap shot and showed TSLA being out performed by the S&P. I showed that comparing TSLA to S&P over pretty much any metric(1 or 2 years, 3 years, 5 years or 10 years) and TSLA has out performed the S&P substantially. Not sure why you are arguing this point. Go look at the data. I've posted it.

    Where did I say Twitter and TSLA are related other than to say Musk owns both. Besides that you are just throwing crap against the wall. I'd say do better but we both know that isn't happening.

    I'm talking about 2 different things. I know talking about multiple companies can get confusing. Maybe slow down and try reading it slower. Maybe that will work...

    Musk is the real president now. Trump is just a cuck.

    Sure you are boss. But we have you saying the exact opposite thing in 2 different posts. In one you're saying Twitter affects the TSLA stock price, in the other you're saying it doesn't. Be a man for once and take your loss with the tiniest amount of dignity.

    I didn't say Twitter affects TSLA stock price. But good try. Look, I get it, you are upset about the election and are posting even more irrationally than normal. Maybe take a break and get your head on straight. I'm starting to worry about you.

    How about you explain this statement and tell us how you weren't saying Twitter affects the TSLA stock price. This should be good.

    "Or the market was building in a lower price in case Harris won because we have a pretty good idea she would've moved to shut down Twitter"

    I was watching cable news this morning and it was reported that the Trump administration is wanted to eliminate the tax credit for purchasing an electric car. Doesn't that go against what Musk critics are saying about TSLA getting favorable treatment from the government?

    Because whether you like it or not the fact is Musk owns both companies. So you think that Harris "only" would've tried to shut down Twitter and not pulled any other contracts of companies Musk owns? If you are that naive, well that's a you problem. Hell, the Biden Admin could've used some of the billions they wasted on 8 charging stations and partnered with TSLA they could've ramped up the expansion of charging stations and that would've been a great success. I guarantee they would get more than 8 charging stations lol. But back to your complaining non stop lol.

    No, never been the argument from the left. Musk is trying to kill Sec 30D so his competitors / foreign car makers don’t get the leg up he got for years. Section 30D has been in place for a long time. New entrance into the market get crushed and Tesla rolls on. GM, Ford, and VW are all scrambling because they got hosed. Toyota and Honda are licking their lips because they went long on hybrid and H2.

    The discussion has been to scrap Sec 45Y for commercial clean vehicles. This will hurt Rivian who is working with Amazon and UPS.

    Didn’t the “old regime” (as in Obama era) of EV credits have a phase out once a certain make reached a threshold? That would be one way to do it, if the concern is welcoming new players and startups into the market.

    But I’m more inclined to think EV credits should just be looked at for environmental benefit, and all manufacturers treated the same.

    Didn’t Biden do some dumb shit making “% union membership” part of the credits math? That was very stupid considering it antagonized Musk, and really did nothing to solidify union support.

    Yep. As expected. No Dignity. Maybe you should have said Harris was going to go after TSLA if that's what you were really saying. But no, what you said was "Or the market was building in a lower price in case Harris won because we have a pretty good idea she would've moved to shut down Twitter". Not a lot of wiggle/weasel room there but keep trying. Gonna be fun to keep this one going.

    to do so, the grid production source should be a factor. Great in VT with 90+ hydro or NH nuclear but terrible in Texas with coal and NG.

    the entire EV market makes no sense unless you change your power plan to renewables and supplement with a solar system to sell back to the grid.
