Typical market manipulation move. He’ll probably announce something regarding bitcoin and the federal reserve today to artificially bump that up too.
There’s literally no reason besides market manipulation. Even if he knew how to drive, the president is not allowed to drive for the rest of their life after being elected.

Not allowed by who?
It’s not a law, but more of a rule enforced by the secret service. Ever since JFK the secret service has restricted the ability of the president to drive outside of private property. There was one time during Obama’s presidency when the secret service went into an immediate panic when decided to drive around the white house.
So I guess you technically could, it’s just an incredibly stupid thing to do. It’s an easy way to piss off the secret service and put your life at risk for no reason.

I mean…
This isn’t even market manipulation. It’s one sale. That makes functionally zero difference to Musk’s bottom line.
In fact, if you’re dumping Tesla stock because the brand image has been utterly destroyed by Musk’s actions, this is just more reason to sell. Trump openly associating himself with the car is just making that problem worse.
The only good outcome for Musk here is if Trump’s cult all decide to follow suit, and that ends up being a win for the rest of us anyway since now all the “Fuck the environment” guys are suddenly driving electric cars.

That’s the manipulation
Yeah I really highly doubt any MAGAts out there are going to pony up to buy an electric car. LoL, Musk torched the base of people who were buying his dumb cars and now he’s paying for it.
The all-too-slow decline of TSLA stock value is a daily source of joy for me.
P.S. I’m also going to have a glass of wine in celebration when Bill Gates cashes in his short.

I cannot do so much as a quick trip to the grocery store without seeing at least one cybertrash driving around. I would wager MAGAts are the only people buying Teslas right now.
he already got given a cybertruck, why not parade that around
Ironically, presidents aren’t even allowed to drive.
And even if they were, I wonder if Turnip even knows how to drive a golf cart, let alone an automobile…? 🤔
I mean… It’s a secret service rule, but we know how Trump feels about “norms and traditions”.
Daily internet challenge…
Find any video footage of Turnip driving anything…
Honorary mention for any legit evidence whatsoever that he even comprehends how wheels work, like does he even know how to ride a
bicycletricycle?No cheating, no AI, is there any evidence that the orange turnip knows anything about the wheel?
I was looking for that earlier (and hoping not to find it, to back up an assertion that he didn’t). Unfortunately, I found an article that claimed to link to a YouTube video of him driving his Rolls in Florida while listening to Taylor Swift, but the video had been deleted.
Other than that, all I’ve been able to find are pics of his driver’s license and him acting like a toddler in those photo-ops with the big rig and the garbage truck.
Doesn’t count, because he’s not driving and only demonstrating the most rudimentary understanding of how it works, but this was the first thing that came to mind.
That’s called a door, not a wheel. 😂🤣
What a silly rule! Where I’m from, an active president can drive a scooter to go meet his mistress.

Oh yeah, this will help Tesla’s brand image…
I wonder how his fans will react to that. Will they get angry that their idol buys a “woke” electric car or will they suddenly wish they could afford one too?
Either way we win.
Option 1: Tesla sales continue to tank.
Option 2: The MAGA cult all go completely electric.
Maybe the entire Musk strategy is to appeal to conservative consumers to save the planet from ICE emissions. 5D chess. /Satire.
As crazy as it sounds, maybe Elon is a time traveler from the future knowing that his only way to stop climate change was to convince the right wing to buy EVs to own the libs.
That would be the only logical explanation for the Nazi salute.
/s in case it wasn’t obvious
These guys would tase their own nuts if they thought it would make them look cool to little d and the rest of their cult.
Tesla has been due for a correction since forever. A single car company couldn’t be worth $1T unless they sold every car in the American market, new and used.
Tesla’s value was always a bubble and I’m gratified by the popping sound.
But will this bubble ever pop in our lifetime?

And I will buy more puts in TSLA.
