    Bruce and Rei are on a mission to convince us that Musk is a visionary who will one day lead us to Mars and freedom. No, I am not joking.

    Yeah, so why is TSLA the most shorted stock in history? Why would so many people take such a huge risk? Think about it.

    "Once the Model 3 production is fully ramped up they will be positioned to *own* the car manufacturing industry in the US."

    Makes total sense.

    I am not sure what you are talking about. Tesla is "taking all their profit" and "goes profitable for a while"? What profits? You really shouldn't be investing. Your only accurate statement is "Any other company with Tesla's numbers would be a lousy investment."

    No they didn't. There is a reason TSLA is the most shorted stock in history. It is because people are making money doing it. That is the proof itself.

    Tesla will for sure get more investment (meaning more debt on top of the $10 billion they already have). The problem is that the stockholders are assuming a lot of risk, for a relatively small gain. There are much better real investments that don't have the risk Tesla does, and actually provide dividends. Even if TSLA went up 50% that isn't enough return to assume the risk you are taking.

    That isn't how shorts work. Also, anyone can hold short positions, not just institutions.

    That is because most Musk fans are white tech guys who have a terrible track record with those issues. Musk is their hero, and the hero worship is disgusting.

    In general, the US markets go up if you look at long enough periods so it isn't a gamble if you invest in a market index representative fund. Investing in Tesla is just a gamble, since you get no return on your investment (a.k.a dividends) and they have a very good chance of going bankrupt. It isn't investment at all, just a risky bet.

    Tesla's stock is down 12% in the last 12 months in a strongly up market. The shorts are making big money. Tesla is a terrible investment and isn't even the largest manufacturer of EVs and won't be in the future either. You guys made terrible investments.

    Taxes hurt those who can't afford to pay them the most. The rich aren't affected (even though they claim they are). A carbon tax would affect the poor and middle class the most. These taxes would just get passed on to them.

    You guys aren't understanding what is happening. The person who was called isn't paying anything. That hasn't been true in decades in America (landline or mobile). What they are saying is the CALLER gets money from the phone company when their number appears on a caller id. Personally I doubt this is true but I didn't read the article. The reason you don't get called as much as America is because America is highly targetted due to the high number of English speakers and the relative wealth of the residents. Scammers don't speak German or Polish or whatever. They speak English.
