Initial price was $135. Then it climbed to $210ish. Now $185.
Pretty regular stuff for a new IPO meme stock. Don't go on the ride if you don't like the speed.
There is literally nothing but hope behind the valuation. Same as Tesla. Just dreams and hopes.
That’s not true, it’s betting on American corruption…which is a pretty good bet.
Hopes and dreams are a good thing, that we should all have. I want to buy the claims Musk is selling: he seems to be the only one actually selling a future and I want hope and dreams for a better tomorrow. And he has delivered, even if not exactly what he said exactly when he said it.
I understand musk is not an engineer, I understand some of his founder credits might be exaggerated. But his ability to weave an inspired vision, willingness to pay for it, ability to inspire others toward it, does deserve a lot of credit for the growth and success of both Tesla and SpaceX.
Then his dark side came out into the open … and I still want the vision pushed by Tesla and SpaceX
he is selling a future, but not nearly a good one.
when the musk future comes, don't cry for how the reality ended up, but eat the shit with a smile on your face.
I will happily live in an era of electric vehicles, cheap and easy access to space and all the modern functionality that brings, affordable satellite connectivity. I will happily live in a world where even the biggest trucks can keep up speed while fully loaded ~~iPhone~~ uphill, without polluting, without noise. I will happily choose a vehicle whose trip planning optimizes route and duration, automatically planning chargers as needed. I will happily live in a world where my vehicle, thermostat and home power storage can participate in a “virtual power plant” with intelligent time shifting
I hope you'll also happily live in an era where the powers discriminate against you, and try to eradicate you. the only comforting thought you will have, is there is no going back.
that is not the future that musk is selling
