If Elon is on drugs all the time can I get the same ones? Maybe I'll have 1/100th of his success that would be enough for me.

I'm thinking you are letting this bother you way too much . I don't think this news is going to hurt him one bit. It may bother him for awhile, but it will settle like dust, nobody will remember this in a month

Steady as she goes is better than wild swings. It's those wild swings shorters are betting on... unfortunately they haven't been catching much luck 🤞

Speaking of short sellers even Steve Irwin called the Elon drug use story BS and he has shorted TSLA for years. But no one will top Jim Chanos he lost at least $5billion (you read that right) betting against Elon.

Haha I love it.

I know exactly what they are doing with the non stop bad press.

I call it shaking out the coins for profit by making a stock volatile.

Good news, bad news, good news, rinse and repeat.

But it doesn't seem to work on Tesla. Lol

Plus they want to steal Tesla from him and run him out of the company, that part was already obvious. Lol

It occurs to me that Tesla could in time put Google maps out of business as a side project.
