@dillonloomis @RaoulGMI My prediction is TSLA will be the most valuable company by Nov ‘27 and by Nov ‘29, it will be the most valuable company by a factor of at least 2. I’m going to revisit this tweet in 3 years time.

@Springboks I was at the Test and have come to the conclusion the conclusion that I don’t like the 7-1 split. Grant Williams should have come on much earlier but Rassie had to hold him back to cover an injury in the backline. Williams made a huge impact when he came on

@alex_avoigt I agree with you Alex. Trumps values, or lack of values, is what I find abhorrent.

It's really hilariously funny for me to see how many are active here on X, proclaiming freedom of speech and trying to silence me. 😂🤣 Save your energy, I can tell you that I stand up for values, conviction, honesty, and truth and no one can silence me. By the way, everyone who has tried to silence me as far as I could investigate is a supporter of Trump and the Republican Party, and that's pretty telling. 🤔

@iamtomnash Not that one should gloat…..but it would be fun to go back and see when the various “experts” told their followers to sell at $7 because $PLTR was going down the toilet!

If @DavidSacks ever imagined @ZelenskyyUa would ever have deigned to sign such a "peace treaty", and that only the Biden administration and Victoria Nuland stood between a complete Ukranian surrender and a decision to defend against servitude and submission, he's crazy.
Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦@IAPonomarenko

Okay, @RFERL has obtained a doc describing a "peace treaty" that Russia offered to Ukraine in March 2022, namely on March 7 -- on the full-scale invasion's day 10, when it became crystal clear that the initial blitz plan was going off the rails and that Russian invasion forces had stalled at Kyiv. Here's what they demanded: - Ukrainian armed forces of just up to 50,000 (including just 35,000 in the ground - forces), including 1,500 commissioned officers. - No more than 300 tanks and 700 IFVs and APCs - No more than 400 artillery pieces, rocket systems, and tubed pieces, and mortars. - No more than 70 airplanes and 55 helicopters - No more than 4 warships - No missiles with an effective range of over 250 km - Ukrainian "neutrality" - Reparations to Russia for ruined infrastructure in Ukraine's Donbas, where Russia had waged an undeclared war on Ukraine since 2024 - Ukraine recognizing the 'independence' of Russian-controlled puppet pseudo-states in Donbas - Russian as an official language in Ukraine - All assets held by the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine reinstated - Permanent Russian occupation and military presence in all territories seized after February 2022, including the close outskirts of Kyiv, until Russia considers that all of its demands are fulfilled - No international sanctions - No Western defense aid to Ukraine What Ukraine would have gotten in return: - Nothing. No Russian formal obligations other than assurances of no further advances in the occupation of Ukrainian territory as long as Russia considers the "ceasefire treaty" carefully fulfilled by Ukraine. Let me tell you what this all is called: unconditional surrender. And turning Ukraine back into a Kremlin-controlled, defenseless client state, with a Russian soldier boot pressing its throat. Moreover, this had been a Russian demand for unconditional surrender 22 days before Russian forces were eventually withdrawn from the Kyiv area as a result of a military defeat and the failure of the "special military operation's" foremost objective. To call THAT "just peace" or say "Ukraine had a chance for peace" over THAT, one needs to be simply extraordinarily incompetent or just full of shit. Or both.

@iamtomnash That’s the smart move. No need to react during the call. Take time to analyse and then give a considered view. Stealth Wealth Investing does the same

@arny_trezzi I think the market is factoring in a Harris Presidency. It will correct when people realise that she doesn’t have horns! In the interim, there might be some widespread buying opportunities.

@EdKrassen Historians are going to study the phenomenon, that you so aptly describe, for years to come. How do otherwise bright, logical & sane people suddenly fall under this spell where they choose to be blind to all Trumps faults and failings!?

Hold on a second. Are we honestly supposed to believe that the same man who was found liable for sexual abuse, who bragged about walking in on teenagers changing in a locker room, who boasted about grabbing women by their private parts, who cheated on every one of his wives, and who has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, wasn’t actually Epstein’s “closest friend,” as Epstein himself claimed? Of course, Trump supporters won’t believe it. They’ll say Epstein’s lying, just like they dismiss the claims of multiple women who accuse him of assault, just like they brushed off Stormy Daniels’s story about their affair, just like they ignore the verdicts of judges and juries. Just like they disregard the generals who call him a dictator, and the veterans who say he disrespects them. In MAGA’s world, everyone else is lying, and Trump’s word is gospel.

I’m a white male who grew up in Apartheid South Africa. I was repulsed by that system so I left South Africa and only returned after Apartheid ended. It amazes me how few white South Africans admit to ever supporting Apartheid. I wonder if it will be the same with Trump voters?

Tesla shareholders are far too negative about what happens to the stock and Elon if the Democrats and Kamala Harris win the election. Historically, Democratic administrations are good for stock markets and therefore also for shareholders of Tesla. $tsla An administration under Harris will neither imprison nor prosecute Elon for his support of Trump because they want to unite and not divide. Harris said this many times and she will if elected follow that path. Of course, there are legally questionable moves by Elon such as the 1 million a day he gave away to voters but those are purely legal issues and not politically motivated. The challenges with authorities will remain as before as it's been politics in the past and will be politics in the future. There will be people trying to attack Elon and his companies as we have seen it in the past but at the end of the day courts and judges will treat him according to law. Regardless of those challenges Tesla will grow, prosper, and become IMO the largest and most profitable company in the world. The Tesla stock remains massively undervalued and sooner or later we will see a 5 to 10X appreciation. From a strategic point of view, no matter who wins the election, becoming an active part of the presidential election and supporting Trump in rallies and in public was still the biggest strategic mistake Elon made.

How can anyone seriously consider voting for a person who wants to shoot political opponents? Trump wants to shoot Liz Chaney and that should disqualify him as a candidate for anyone who wants Democracy in the 🇺🇸 USA. Only autocrats and dictators have such criminal fantasies. Democracy is at stake!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

@elonmusk I’m a large Tesla shareholder and am bitterly disappointed that you chose to get so involved in politics, not to mention that you chose to back a fraudster, a rapist, a grifter, a felon. And and and……You are a genius but this was not a smart move on your part.

@simonkp @SawyerMerritt I understand the theory but what gets to me is when people go short and then try to drive to price down by spreading falsehoods about a company. Insider trading is illegal but this doesn’t seem to apply to shorts. I know it’s two diffident things, but it doesn’t sit well with me

@SawyerMerritt Short sellers are a crucial part of the market, providing liquidity and balancing out bullish sentiment. It's a reminder that investing carries risk, and sometimes, the market moves in unexpected ways. #Tesla

@CyberCabDavid @iamtomnash I’m considering a new way to rationalise buying or selling decisions. Firstly, I never sell Secondly, just because I’m up 150% on a stock this is no reason not to continue buying. If I think it’s too expensive, then I should sell. If I don’t want to sell, then I must buy

When $PLTR was a $30B company back in 2022, people called me crazy for saying it will be one of the biggest companies in the world and will eventually become a $1T company. Given what I am seeing in 2024, I may have low balled $PLTR at $1T....
