Smart, good guy. Certainly too smart for his own good occasionally. But overall he is brilliant and has literally changed the world.

He's also done some really stupid shit and made questionable decisions and said utterly terrible things in public.

While that was/is incredibly dissapointing, I still admire the guy for his vision and dedication. There have been many times in his life where he is just running on fumes and is completely physically and mentally exhausted, and it shows in his decisions.

I hope he is learning from those experiences.

I agree. He's (sometimes) nuts, but that doesn't prevent him from doing good things. It is admirable, and sometimes he leaves you just shaking your head, too. On balance, he's a positive source.

The people who are little bit nuts are the people who do big things.

I am one of those lunatic TSLA bears that's been tradiing the JAN 2021 catastrophe puts.
The 5, 10, 20 and 50 strikes.

Depending on the day the spreads are fairly tight and the open interest is very high.
The 20s went from 8 cents in Feb to 3 bucks and now back to a 95 cents. If this
sucker rally continues they should get cheaper.

A very cheap way to get some skin in the game if you are bearish on TSLA.

He might have a Brilliant mind but I think he's a compulsive liar & manipulator who thinks he's better than others and that rules and laws don't apply to him. What he said about that Diver in Thailand was horrible. He could have been the better man and backed down but instead he continued to harass the individual and took it all the way through the court system. We know factually that he's violated several SEC rules (Going Private, no Twitter use etc) and can speculate that he's violated several more severe rules but he gets a free pass. We don't allow bank robbers 'free passes' because they are brilliant or occasionally do something good, so I don''t know why we do with Elon. All part of the star system I guess.

Those puts have been a conversation piece in my circle for a couple years.

Whenever a stock does a supernova move like TSLA did, it's natural to want to sell it.

I've just been buying some of these since the crash started. Kind of a T-shirt trade.

Plenty of time for TSLA to come down a lot more before these puts expire.

Elon really needs to knock it off with all the Dogecoin bullshit. People are losing a lot of money not realizing Doge is a meme joke.

But the Bitcoin investment by Tesla, however, is quite a smart thing. Along with accepting Bitcoin crypto for payment.

I disagree. I don't know why but Musk obviously has a free pass. People have ended up in jail for far less manipulation than he has committed.

You disagree about the Tesla 1.5 billion investment into Bitcoin?
