How did you guys mess up my stock so bad while I was gone?

Also if one of you could explain Bitcoin to me in a way that I'm not going to get bored I would really appreciate it; like if you could do like a a little show and dance or something cuz I simply don't get it. I kept getting asked on Cashapp if I wanted to buy some Bitcoin or whatever and I put in $30 so what's that mean? Thanks!!!

imagine if you are dancing and a guy comes to the stage. But he doesn't have a $20 in his hands, he has a thumb drive and he tells you that there is something on that thumb drive that is valued at $150. But if you want it you have to take him to a private room and strip completely naked. After you get home you find out that the thumb drive has some bit coins on it.

Then imagine you hid your bit coins in a magic wallet and a leprechaun said pick 13 magic words and when you want your bit coins back all you have to do is remember these words.

You forget about your bit coins and 5 years later the guy from the strip club says your bit coins are now worth $65,000 each! you should cash them in! All you need is your 13 magic words! (mine are in my safe deposit box)

I wonder how long Tesla remains a "car" company. I see them as Amazon like in that they will diversify and become a data company more than anything else. I believe they are looking to get into robotics heavily as well. I like them much more for the long term rather than the next 6-24 months.
Musk has two options when it comes to innovation. Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla is owned by shareholders and is basically his bank. Musk owns about 13% of Tesla shares. And SpaceX is owned by him personally and some private investors. Musk owns about 40% of SpaceX.

It would seem logical that Musk would be much more incentivized to move anything new and profitable into SpaceX instead of Tesla. Musk denies any plans to take SpaceX, including Starlink, public any time soon.
He's been quoted in the media lately that he needs more shares to do some of the things he wants to do with Tesla.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/16/elon-mu ... power.html
i read an article a few weeks ago that he said that he needs more skin in the game to stay interested in Tesla. So they would need to come up with a compensation deal to give him more shares. But we are talking about a LOT of shares. That article was sort of what got me to wondering why he would want to grow Tesla with any new ideas if he could just use SpaceX instead.
Are we buying tesla now??

I thought the exact same thing. Tesla is just in the shitter right now which makes it really tempting. If Trump wins I think the most likely scenario is the electric push is simply delayed and Tesla rebounds a little later. I feel like it should be decent long term but I just dont have the balls to put anything significant into it.

Nefarious. It's a low-budget horror movie on Amazon Prime. The first half I would give a solid 7/10. The antagonist character is acted decently, the cinematography doesn't feel cheap, and it mostly importantly it doesn't drag. The second half gets very Christian, very quick, a solid 3/10. After the climax, the movie winds down with a fictional podcast starring a popular right wing talking head, I won't spoil who it is because I lol'd when he popped up. I will say it's a fun ride, and if you're a fan of cheap horror with strong Christian overtones you'll love it. Overall it's a 4/10, adult fairy tales side it gets predictable and doesn't have much of a payoff. Also I lied, it's Glenn Beck.
