Elon Musk

Post about Elon here if it doesn't cleanly fit within one of the Tesla or SpaceX topics. (e.g. his 6th child named "X Æ A-12" (???), "pedo guy", antics, etc.)

I listened to this earlier today:

She must enjoy it if she's been putting up with it for 8 years.

Elon is the richest man in the world.

How far down that list do you have to go to find a non-asshole? Buffet?

 

[WetEV]

4 Bill Gates has found clues, and has taken up with Buffet.

8 Warren Buffet.

I don't know much about #3 Bernard Arnault & family, or #6, Zhong Shanshan.

Elon Musk told his followers to ‘use Signal,’ leading to 1,100% surge in unrelated stock with similar name

Sounds like Musk's "followers" are about on a par with Trump's, intelligence-wise.

 

[cwerdna]

LOL! As the article points out, there have been mix ups like this in the past involving other stocks. I remember when there's been stock confusion between Cisco (networking company) vs. Sysco (food).

"I dunno, Ed: I just bought a bunch of stuff at Sysco, and I'm damned if I can figure out how to build a server from it..."

It reminds me of the scene from Forrest Gump where he is out jogging and ends up with a bunch of disciples following him.

 

[LeftieBiker]

Elon Gump! (Although my favorite nickname for him so far is "Space Karen.")

Looks like it happened again.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/11/signal-advance-jumps-another-438percent-after-elon-musk-fueled-buying-frenzy.html

During Monday’s trading session, the stock rose 438% and reached a high of $70.85, up from a closing price of 60 cents on Jan. 6, a day before Musk’s tweet. The stock saw its highest trading volume since going public in 2014 on Monday; more than 2 million shares changed hands, while on Jan. 4, not a single share of the stock was traded. Signal Advance, which reported receiving no revenue in 2015 and 2016, is now worth more than $3 billion.

It closed at $38.70 today.

For those who haven't been following, GameStop (GME) has been on a crazy tear due to a massive short squeeze that seems to be caused by wallstreetbets on Reddit. It was a $6 stock a few months ago and closed at $147.98 when the market closed on Tuesday. A bit after the close, Elon tweeted (as pointed out at https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/26/gamestop-jumps-as-elon-musk-tweets-out-reddit-board-thats-hyping-stock.html) "Gamestonk!"

It went past $240 after hours. This morning, at around 2 am Pacific, I guess when extended hours trading re-opened, it was past $330.

 

[cwerdna]

The market is tanking but GME is at $337 now, up over $189. LOL!

 

[goldbrick]

gonna party like it's 1999

Not sure if this is real as I'm not on Discord: https://www.reddit.com/r/WallStreetbetsELITE/comments/l5txdq/elon_musk_cosigns_amc_in_wallstreetbets_discord/. Someone posted a screenshot at work.

AMC and KOSS have gone crazy recently, in addition to GME.

That removes all doubt from my mind - these are truly the end times. :shock:

I'm surprised to not see this here, but Musk's decision to reopen the Fremont plant in defiance of lockdown apparently resulted in 450 cases of COVID-19 in the workforce there.
