As a Tesla investor I would like to thank @RBReich and @BernieSanders for making sure @elonmusk doesn’t become too rich. The $200B in market cap losses from all investors is unquestionably worth the $15B in tax rev. I’m certain the government will spend it wisely.

@engineers_feed Yes, if you put a skate board on a treadmill you can still push it forward from the back. The thrust of the engines is pushing air not turning the wheels like a car. A conveyor belt could not apply a backwards force assuming zero friction.

This is the perfect setup I was hoping for in $TSLA. Short term volume scares, while FSD V12 is improving rapidly. I'm trying to decide when to switch to a more aggressive position, I think when V12 goes wide release is when the stock rebounds hard.

Research shows the number running out of petrol or diesel has risen every year since 2011, when the figure was a third lower. Men made up most of the 827,000 who ignored the warning light.
