    There is a pattern: he was successful at picking and shorting fraudulent FINANCIAL companies, where the only thing matters is the balance sheet that he understands. But, then he turned around and starting to short TECH companies that were high growth with high multiples placed on FUTURE value of a technology. To see whether a tech company's high multiple is justified or not, you need to understand the technology, which he clearly DOES NOT. So he started betting against tech winners, because they had too high valuation in his rear-view-mirror based financial analysis. Lesson to learn: stay within your expertise! Do not try to judge players in industries you have no clue about!

Musk won't end any of these industries, and to the extent they're disruptedit won't be Musk alone. Musk isn't the first, and he does deserve some credit for deliverng Apple type panache to the Tesla brand. But whether it's a power wall, or solar roofs, Musk has to deliver good, consistent earnings. To date, he has not. He's made progress on some. But add every thing up, and the real earnings don't COME CLOSE to the valuation. Not close. Musk wants you to believe he hung the moon. He did not.

      The fact that Tesla is trading today at 2/3s of its high is useful to know. Many other stocks that soared until February have plummeted that much and more. When the stimulus and super unemployment run out (when there is no one left to pump), a 33% loss may look like a gift.
      Regarding dividends, that's just not true. There are some very profitable companies that cost 10%ish more than their tangible book value. In other words, they could be sold for parts and the shareholders would only lose a tiny amount of their investments. That's where my money sits (for the part that isn't day trading technicals).

      at end of day the market is rigged for the rich n the exchanges survive off fresh blood as most ppl quit after blowing up accs.. they make the rules as shit grows n dont get the same charges for crimes we would get hung on despite them doin it at magnitudes greater ....sthe banks legal teams write incredibly tricky derivative assets to push on the rest of the world taht exploit grey areas in national and global laws that churns money before the buyers understand they bought dogshit n taht jig is up, new one on the way..

It will be very interesting to see if the Cyber truck takes off and how big.
