Stock racing back to $350 level, may drop below that tomorrow. Just shows the market no longer feels the $420 is viable, imagine the suckers who jumped in at $380 expecting a ride north of $400, instead eyeing a 10% haircut in a matter of days. Not sure which is more speculation, BitCoin or Tesla..... LOL

I guess growing up next door to "Teddy" did have an effect on me!

Hmm... the NYT must have picked up on this eh?

But it was Mr. Musk’s “funding secured” statement on Twitter that may put the iconoclastic founder most at risk. He provided no details about how much funding had been secured, from whom or under what conditions. His email to employees did not mention anything about the funding.
“That’s a clear factual statement,” said John C. Coffee Jr., a professor at Columbia Law School who specializes in corporate law and securities fraud. “If it’s not fully secure, that’s potentially a very material misrepresentation, and a very straightforward violation of Rule 10b-5” of the securities law — in short, securities fraud.

That's exactly what crossed my mind too. "What about Nikola?" He's a fascinating person.

Stock continuing to be a knife drop from the $380 at tweet time, pushing near $300 today and with big volume. Maybe index funds bailing due to talk of going private (many can't hold private stock), or maybe the shine on Musk finally coming off?
Looks like shorts may get the last laugh....

It will be interesting to see how much TESLA will owe to shorts who were sold out of Tesla position by the Funding Secured @ 420 statement, which has now been shown by the company & Musk to not be true and the defense seems to be I was on drugs at the time.

TESLA is highly unlikely to go private, they will be darn lucky to survive. And index funds by their nature have to hold on to Tesla on the 1 in 100 chance it does go private @ 420 they would underperform the index.

I don't own Tesla stock, nor am interested in shorting it. I don't even actively follow the company or its CEO, other than read the articles that keep popping up daily on these Web sites.
Just as a passive observer, I saw that the stock price jumped up after the most recent quarterly report, when Musk apologized for his bad behavior in the previous quarterly report. And people started to give him credit for improving the production rate of the Tesla 3.
Then, why did Musk go nuts and do that silly Twitter post about $420/share buyout?
Looks like he is like so many people who crave the limelight that these posts bring. They like to see their name mentioned daily in print, and on various Web sites, I guess.

What I think is he might be worried about BK...
Remember that he was involved with Solar City and when they had problems he had Tesla buy it... and after being acquired immediately started to drop in the rankings of solar providers.... someone today on TV said that they might be having Space X looking to buy Tesla... I would hate to see that since I think Space X is more important to the USA future than Tesla...
Sounds like a bunch of bait and switch...

I have no idea if Mr. Musk will succeed in making Tesla a profitable ongoing presences in the auto industry. I don't own the individual stock and have no plans to do so. But, Must does things that seasoned experts would never try. The guys and gals at CNN? They can go jump on trampolines.

So are you long TSLA?

I am in your camp. This stock is a "don't touch". Way too crazy for me, I will stick with my boring AAPL, ADI, EW, HON, and others. You know, companies that actually make money.

Space news interests me, so SpaceX news items inevitably get included in my daily perusal of news. Electric cars never interested me all that much, so normally never followed Tesla news items.
Yet it was the daily attacks on both SpaceX and Tesla that appeared in the comments sections of SpaceX news items that finally made me take a closer look at Tesla news items. The attacks on SpaceX contained obvious false claims with a healthy mixture of personal attacks on Musk’s character. I didn’t quite understand the animosity toward SpaceX since it is not publicly traded. Anyway, after some research I came across this article that provides a plausible explanation for what I was observing and seems to indicate Musk’s paranoia is well earned:
