"This story is such bullshit" to "I didn't actually read it" in the space of 2 comments.



Yea. You don't see me trying to break it down do you?

There's a very clear pattern of headlines about a potential Tesla doomsday that's almost always rooted in rumors or anonymous tips...and guess what...sometimes you look up the analyst and find that they're openly shorting Tesla.

This article is sensationalized. We all now know that this is standard industry practice yet the article strongly implies that without these retroactive discounts, Tesla won't be able to stay afloat. What did we find out since this garbage publication? That the discounts they're asking for aren't as retroactive as the original article claimed, and the consequences are completely baseless.

I'm just pointing out this aggressive pattern of Tesla shorters taking these rumors and running wild with them. I don't need to read every unfounded rumor to comment on it.

If I was more savvy, I would look into today's selloff and see if that analyst Elon made fun of on the earnings call finally dumped his borrowed shares but that's way too much effort to justify my internet comment.

Looks like it worked: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-stocks/tesla-shares...
