You disagree about the Tesla 1.5 billion investment into Bitcoin?

I disagree that it was an investment (its rampant speculation) or that it was a smart thing. Tesla is company that loses money making cars, and only makes money by selling regulatory credits. They've flirted with insolvency several times in the last few years. Thankfully by some manipulation by their CEO (eg "Am thinking of taking Tesla private at $420, Funding secured" etc) and due to some additional funding at sky high prices due to a continued squeeze, they now sit on a pile of cash. Speculating that on Bitcoin is not where I think their focus should be. Where's the governance?

Now that is very interesting. $33k is basically year end. If you remember Bitcoin started going crazy right at Christimas. If they averaged $33k they must have started buying before that. Wonder if they were the driving force behind the Xmas/New Year move. Wonder if their Q4 earnings were effected by it in anyway?

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.

This is the first think I though when I saw the news. What's going on???
Producing BTC is disastrous on an environmental point of view, it's main real usage is to pay ransom to pirates who froze hospitals IT services, and it's using computing power which could be more useful somewhere else.
On an ethical point of view this thing is a disaster. At some point people will figure it out, hopefully.
Just like I never trade tobacco stocks I'll stay far away from trading BTC .

I agree, TSLA about to fall apart because all other car makers are entering BEV market. Crypto is the only way out for him. Elon Musk wants to be the Crypto King and Cathie Wood will be Crypto Queen.

But I will not invest TSLA just because of their digital assets, I would rather choose a company like $BTCS that focused on digital assets and blockchain technologies. One of the early pioneer in blockchain technology, in 2014 they were the first U.S. public company to mine bitcoin.

Go XPEV!

Btw, the TSLA stock is great for scalping, high beta, nice swings.

You are never in the wrong place... but sometimes you are in the right place looking at things in the wrong way.

Nice article:

https://electrek.co/2024/01/30/elon-musk-billion-tesla-ceo-compensation-voided-by-judge/

It goes over the $60 billion payout to Elon being clawed back by the courts due to misrepresentation to shareholders.

I sold all my Tesla Q3 and Q4 last year. I just have come to despise Elon and just couldn't do it any more.

Added to Qualcomm, Nvidia, Microsoft instead. Also Polestar, it's dirt cheap and a long time hold for me.

Thinking of adding to SuperMicro but haven't yet.
