Theory: I strongly believe that Elon Musk will face criminal charges before November.
1) @TheJusticeDept has pledged to crack down on white collar crime, and midterms are coming up. The political angle's to distance the lax enforcement... 1/9
thehill.com/news/administr…
...during the Trump administration (think Jay Clayton & @HesterPeirce), and blame economic issues on corporate malfeasance.
What better way to do so than to lay out all the ways that Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, stole billions & deserves jail? 2/9
2) Musk's PR machine has gone into overdrive in the past half year or so. It seems to have started with @danahull attacking the Biden administration.
Then came the Times Square ads, the @TIME & @FT Man of the Year awards, additional lobbying from @business, and more. 3/9 Image
3) All of this came about as news leaked of renewed @SECGov @NHTSAgov @TheJusticeDept scrutiny of #Tesla. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been trying to shape his image into a free speech advocate, and overturn his #FundingSecured Twitter Sitter problems by arguing 1st Amendment. 4/9
4) Musk first began to buy $TWTR shares on 1/31/2022, as his PR offensive began. Buying @Twitter shares, and public grandstanding about "free speech", happened as he was trying to overturn @SEC_Enforcement's #FundingSecured settlement (Twitter Sitter). 5/9

My theory is that Musk's $TWTR gambit's in anticipation of imminent criminal charges, most likely of fraud.
He' hopes that these charges will collapse his $TWTR deal. He can then blame the government as trying to cut off his "free speech" & rally political support. 6/9
Musk wants Republican political support. He thinks this is the way to fight criminal charges, because he can't win in court any longer, especially having recently lost the racism & #FundingSecured cases. 7/9
cnbc.com/2022/04/22/rep…
I also don't think there's otherwise any business case to be made for acquiring $TWTR. There are no synergies to $TSLA or #SpaceX.
He's already getting everything he wants out of $TWTR the powers of moderation, censorship, and saying whatever he wants. 8/9
Timeline: $TWTR's deal-making gets underway, Musk gets criminally charged, the deal falls through due to this "distraction", Musk/Republicans cry foul over "free speech", and Musk hopes he can drag out the case for 2 more years until a new (Republican) president gets elected. 9/9

Someone asked me, why is $TSLA's stonk price not falling, despite the overall market deterioration, supply chain/inflation, market share loss, legal/regulatory troubles, Musk's Twitter debacle, no product pipeline, key claims failing ("Full Self Driving", solar, batteries)? 1/15
Not trading/investment advice, I do not have a crystal ball or insider info:
$TSLA is a faith-based stonk shown by its fundamentals/ratios. Its fanboys will keep buying with every paycheck as the narrative stays intact. An elevated stonk price engenders faith. That is why... 2/15
...Fanboys are obsessed with "stonk price bro".
Fanboys are largely middle class, white collar, predominantly middle aged/older beta males who have staked their retirement accounts and identities and egos in $TSLA. 3/15

🧵 The more I think about it, the more I see how Elon Musk's bid for $TWTR creates enormous risks for $TSLA hodlers. There's no synergy. Musk has no business plan except Muh Freedom. He did no due diligence. He made the "offer" by texting $TWTR's board chair. $TSLAQ 1/4
He's going to gut @Twitter's management the way he gutted #Tesla's. $TWTR's general counsel and CFO will suffer.
He says he'll do this by maxing out stock margin, which exposes $TSLA hodlers to enormous downside risk without any positive benfits except to silence/dox critics. 2/4
$TWTR's just one more distraction - a highly politicized one at that - for the narcissistic sociopath.
All for what? To get at a bunch of random nobodies in $TSLAQ? To mock @SEC_Enforcement? And if he backs off, what'll be the excuse? 3/4

Dear @missy_cummings, congratulations! May I humbly propose some recommendations for a national autonomous vehicle testing policy:
1) All companies testing/marketing anything that suggests autonomy (e.g. "Full Self Driving") must publicly report all disengagements & interventions
2) Videos of disengagements & interventions should be uploaded to a public server, since they are already being captured by the cars themselves
3) Testing companies should be required to disclose where these vehicles are being tested, and who they're being tested by
4) All companies should be directly and fully liable for any damage caused by the testing, they should not be allowed to push responsibility off onto testers
5) All test cars should be highly visibly and clearly marked as such (e.g. rooftop signage, large font/reflective decals)

Thread on the #Tesla Model 2 Fraud (aka "Fluffy Pillow" h/t @passthebeano)
It's being asked as an earnings call question again. It's simple: Musk LIED. The "Fluffy Pillow" is NOT going to happen for $25k. Musk just hiked the Model 3 SR+ (50 kWh) price to $42k... $TSLA $TSLAQ 1/6
...and that's *with* corner cutting with inferior Chinese LFP cells, killing lumbar adjustments, cheap paint, ersatz chips, not doing brake testing, etc.
Maybe #Tesla can cut $3k more with a tiny battery, but that'd mean a <150 mi. range. Making it a subcompact... 2/6
...might shave only a few hundred in raw material costs. Tesla's cut to the bone. There's nothing left to squeeze.
Elon Musk's strategy behind the #Tesla "Fluffy Pillow" was to use the car as a loss leader. He banked on FSD uptake pushing it into positive margin territory. 3/6

TWITTER ACTIVELY CENSORS CENSORSHIP PROTESTS
A few weeks ago, I protested that Twitter censored $TSLAQ's comments to @GaryGensler. Twitter is now censoring protests of censorship.
Here's what $TSLAQ sees vs. what Twitter actually shows the public. #Tesla $TSLA 1/4
An inside look at Twitter's search API proves that the query has been intentionally marked as "SUSPEND". The protesting thread didn't violate Twitter's TOS.
And that's why, without being able to resort to overt censorship, Twitter uses shadow-censorship instead. $TSLAQ 2/4
It's simple. Perform this experiment running the same search query when logged in vs. running a clean browser/system. You'll see that Twitter censors not only criticisms of Elon Musk, but criticisms of Twitter's own censorship which support Musk. 3/4

Elon Musk's 3 Fake "Factory" Cars 🧵
A flock of #TSLA bots flooded my earlier tweet about how #Tesla used a modded car vs. Musk's claim of a "completely unmodified, directly from factory" car for Nurburging.
Car #1 is this red car, showing obvious mods. $TSLAQ 1/8
Here's Car #2, the second #Tesla Plaid. Note the different wheels, but again, the same opaque tint job & jumbo brake setup. $TSLA $TSLAQ 2/8
Car #2 has plate # BIT 0679. Despite all the mods, this #Tesla Model S Plaid broke down on the track & had to be towed. Tesla literally tried to cover it up, and used an older Model S to try to block photography of the embarrassment. $TSLA $TSLAQ 3/8
