    Walz has been specifically mocking Tesla’s stock plummet these past few months. Hes not saying they are equally important, hes just using this to taunt Musk.

    A 1 day 10% drop is a gut punch worth mentioning. Being a meme stock means that the only thing holding it up is the idea that it will always go up. When the meme fades and it has to compete on fundamentals, a car company missing sales targets by 13% in one quarter ain’t gonna do it.

      Thanks for clarification. Still, looking at the Tesla chart similar upward/downward movements happed several times. It doesn’t appear that special to me for that stock.

      And yes, Tesla is not the same category of meme Stock as Gamestop. Still, compared to other stocks, the development of the share value is far less dependend on the operative success of the company. It feels more like a Musk stock that’s influenced by news and tweets around his person going back and forth between hype and desaster.

        It’s a little special. The CEO of GameStop didn’t turn every rational thinking person against him.

        The only people still supporting Elon cant afford his car. So they can buy the stock just to have the stock, but that wont be enough to save things for them.

        People will stop buying Teslas. If not anything else, they will stop buying Teslas because they are tired of buying new Windows.

          Did autocorrect capitalize “windows,” or does Windows 11 installation come with a free cybertruck now? They’re both essentially spyware, so I guess the pairing works.

            The model 3 is a rock magnet. I think I’ve had my windshield replaced 5 or 6 times in 6 years.
