For everyone blaming his politics for the decline, you clearly weren’t paying attention when 75% of Tesla shareholders voted to pay him a $1T bonus last November.
The people dealing with stocks don’t care about his politics.
They love his politics, I wonder how many he helped out cutting up regulatory agencies that may have been looking into their own companies they’re CEOs to.
Musk = POS Nazi.
Too many people have forgotten that the nazis are the bad guys.
People also forget that one of the fundamental parts of fascism is thievery. They steal money, gold, art, even ideologies and elections.
The primarily steal the future.
if they ever thought that way in the first place
I think many people forget how many Americans were pro-nazi before we entered the war. Not to mention how it was decades before the civil rights movement. I know this isn’t an American site so it doesn’t pertain to everyone, but there seems to be some type of collective amnesia of the values we had not even 100 years ago.
It’s bizarro world.
What… did they think was gonna happen??? It was a huuuuge pump and dump wealth transfer. It was so fucking obvious
They thought they’d sell first and leave someone else as the bagholder.
Good god, people were actually believing in that stock? Fucking idiots. 😂
That’s a meme stock, or something you buy a single share of just to say you have it. That wasn’t ever going make you rich, certainly not in the short run.
If you wanted to gamble some money on it the only smart play was obviously to aim for something safe like 10% and ride the first 24 hour pump and dump. I considered it but the whole thing felt just too dumb even to risk that.
It’s mad that anyone thought this was anything but a panicked debt rescue and exit scheme
They always think they’re in on the scam instead of the ones being scammed.
How did this not smell like a pump and dump to everyone?
Because too many people gamble (sorry “invest”) based on vibes and memes these days rather than fundamentals of the business and maintaining a properly diversified stock portfolio with a realistic time horizon.
They don’t understand the concept of a pump and dump, and only see the people bragging about their quick wins rather than the majority that lose.
I smelled the pump, I smelled the dump, but nobody takes investing advice from me.
Participating in and profiting from a pump and dump scheme is the new American dream.
I think the assumption was that the shortened window to list it in the NASDAQ 100 in 15 days meant that it would be bouyed by 401k money. I don’t think early investors planned to be able to pump and dump so effectively that US retirement savings as a whole weren’t enough to keep it up.
“I gambled on a thing now I’m having a meltdown that it didn’t go my way!”
-24% since IPO is still crazy high. I expected it to drop at least 50% day one. But alas, people are idiots
Oh no, it’s the obvious and inevitable outcome that literally everyone saw coming. Who could have know this would happen??!1?
I dunno why yall are celebrating this.
Elon basically gaslighted retail investors, and managers for your retirement funds, into transferring wealth directly to Elon Musk.
Other index funds were forced to buy SpaceX at the IPO price. They literally had no choice, even if they knew they’d lose money. And this includes any overseas ones with exposure to US indices.
This is not something to celebrate. We all just got conned, even if you didn’t buy SpaceX directly.
I pulled my retirement funds from the market over a year ago when the market was clearly detatching from reality. They are in a cash account earning modest interest for now.
I don’t let fools in a stupor play with my money.
I did the same but paid off debt and bought a house. Still ain’t sure whether I chose wisely.
Yeah, I mean you’re preaching to the choir here.
I’m in individual stocks (that I think are sane) or assets everywhere I can be.
because anger at this may, in some hopeful universe, inspire some change. luigi style change or otherwise.
The stock market has always been a mushroom farm. Keep them cool and in the dark, then chop them down.
We requested not to include any of his stock, I hope that’s enough :(
It’s still going to be reflected in certain indexes, and market shifts in general, unfortunately.
So, the point is moot anyway.
Jokes on you, I nor any of the people I know, have a retirement fund lmao. This will overwhelmingly hit boomers and upper middle class yuppies in corporate jobs, and tbh fuck em both. If you work for a corporation and chose to be a stooge, you’re also part of the problem.
This whole comment screams projection to me. Having a retirement fund is fairly normal, even if you aren’t making the most money in the world.
no. it’d not normal. there is an entire cohort of non-working class without retirement, and working class folks with one half a paycheck from disaster.
Both of these states are normal in our society unfortunately
for sure. from a statistical standpoint i would reckon “no retirement” out numbers “a retirement” sadly.
I think you are missing the fact that our pensions are going to be shit or not exist entirely. A retirement fund has to be much larger to cover what Boomers and earlier did because they had good pensions.
It’s so hard to believe how people put so much money into a completely unknown stock (and with the joker Elon Musk involved in it) on day one. These people are not on their first day as investors but they are sure acting like it.
I think too many kids grew up on social media and believe whatever they read there. Fed by algorithms.
Even though, these guys have so much money so I guess it’s adults? It’s pretty shocking.
Lol no these are not adults. At least not in any emotional maturity context. Chronologically maybe…
You don’t understand, Elon is a genius and this is all part of his plan. /s
Btw, now that his stocks are plummeting, do you think banks will make him pay them back? That would be fun.They have no one to blame but themselves. What kind of flaming idiot puts their trust in Musk after all he has pulled and all that was publicly available about the spacex stock being an AI scam and not the previous core business of spacex.
Plus they were overvalued by a factor of like 100 if you can read and were bothered to read their prospectus and how/why they valued the company the way they did.
typical result of feeding fascism
nazi stock market boomed until russia
probably helped them get as far as they did
If you can’t keep up with the corrupt big boys who own and manipulate the stock market then buy a fucking RRSP. There is no such thing as a free lunch (unless you are one of the corrupt big boys who own and manipulate the stock market).
