Quick Tesla, set up another meeting like the one below. Because sometimes one genius isn't enough. You need two geniuses working together.

Yeah, but did you see those two boosters land side by side?! Awesome.
Sure, Tesla can’t succeed, but it’s fascinating stuff.
The amount of energy it takes to drag a two ton car down the road is massive. Imagine our power grid trying to cope with half the customers plugging in their electric car every night. :)
But some day electric will work. We just don’t have the tech yet.

DeLorean 2.0?............................
Have been saying this for many multiple months. Musk is a carnival barker who scammed billions from US taxpayers via Obama.
I have been constantly amazed at how the Millenial crowd just revere this guy. And anytime someone points out the obvious about Tesla or things related to Musk and they are completely triggered. Weird.
Not saying Musk hasn’t done some good, he has, especially with Space X, but again, little of his own money have ever been used, almost all of it scammed (IMO) from taxpayers. At some point the day of reckoning will come. Now that Obama is gone, and Hillary is out, that day is now approaching sooner rather than latter.
I have noted that Musk recently publicly said some very complimentary things about Trump. To me, this was a big tell.
I think there’s quite a lot of doubt
who is this dork?
SpaceX can’t be far behind.
All money eventually making its way to DNC.
Too big of a phony space show to fail.
In fact the cars are awesome. Model S 85 is probably the best ride I rode and it is not the best Tesla. Beats everything unless you are into long journeys.
This solar radiation heats the space near Earth to 393.15 kelvins (120 degrees Celsius or 248 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher, while shaded objects plummet to temperatures lower than 173.5 kelvins (minus 100 degrees Celsius or minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit) And any one believing that a Tesla car can hold together for pictures in space is an idiot.
One thing I have to say in Musk’s favor, he’s one of the best ever at building personal wealth.
He’s making more off Tesla than all CEOs in the S+P 500 combined!
And that’s not the only place he makes money. Guy is a wealth machine.
It was my understanding that Musk ie Tesla paid the US Gov loan back in full.
Stupid.
Yes, Musk’s POTENTIAL pay is also absurd. But guess what: If Tesla goes under, Musk doesn’t get paid, so using that money as a basis for saying Musk’s salary will bring down Tesla is nonsensical.
Yes, Must isn’t devoting his full attention to Tesla. But that’s why the crazy high pay: to motivate him to do so.
Yes, not only is Tesla valued at twice what Ford is, but there’s no hope that Tesla will ever build as many cards as Ford. But that’s OK. Anyone discussing Tesla publicly shouldn’t be so jaw-droppingly ignorant as not to realize that Tesla isn’t a car maker; they’re a battery maker. The cars are little more than a showcase for their battery technology.
Undisclosed SEC investigations? Gosh, why don’t you disclose them? Oh, there are past SEC investigations that went undisclosed? Yet Tesla is still around.
I’m not big on investing in Tesla right now. Recognizing that they’re in the business of energy storage, and that’s going to be the 21st century’s breakthrough industry, I don’t think Tesla has bet on the tech that is going to lead the industry. Solar farm power is so much cheaper than rooftop power for applications that don’t HAVE to be distributed (like cars and remote outposts), I don’t see distributed going much BEYOND cars and remote outposts. And for utility-scale power-generation, I believe the market will ultimately belong to capacitors or batteries that don’t need rare-earth metals.
But this makes stupid arguments to stay away from Tesla.
Is Musk ridiculous salary some kind of scam to take the company private?
“Beats everything unless you are into long journeys.”
So does a dragster and they’ve been around a long time.
The writer was quoting John Thompson, who is apparently the Chief Investment Officer of Vilas Capital Management.
He lays out his reasons for thinking that Tesla is on the brink of failure. It appears that without another huge infusion of taxpayer funds and/or private money, they are in serious financial trouble.
Too bad Elon is addicted to govt money
