    I will feel a lot better when their stock price goes much, much, much lower. Sure they are down 40+% in the past 3 months, but they were WAY too high prior to that.

    Their P/E should be in the single digits if they were like most American companies. Until I see that, I’ll know that they are nothing but a fucking chud memestock.

      What’s going to be really funny, is when it becomes worthless.

      See, most of Elon’s money is in Tesla Stock, stock that he manipulated by telling tall tales of colonizing Mars.

      In order to buy Twitter he had to take out a loan for the money and use his Tesla stock as collateral. Now, the thing about that is, the stock is only able to serve this purpose because it’s worth so much. If it wasn’t, then Elon basically defaults on the loan.

      This means he will no longer own Twitter, his bank will.

      Tesla stock was enormously overpriced anyway. The product is not that good or worth that much. In the very beginning there was a lot of disrupting the incumbents. For better or worse. Now it’s all worse.

        Yeah, if you compare their P/E ratio to any other car company…it was and is just nuts. They are in the triple digits last I checked, while many car companies are in the single digits/low double digits.

        It’s gotten a tad bit closer to reality, but still needs adjustment, IMHO. I think the price of the stock should be at about 1/10th of what it is at now…I think a lot of it has to do with people buying into Musk’s bullshit and whole lotta stans in the day trader manosphere.

        But it has a real Gamestop vibe to me…
