Tesla, And Elon Musk

First of all, sorry that it has been five days since my most recent post, I’ve been studying for the ACT which I took this morning. Also, I want to say before I start since I’ve been a big Apple pusher for a minute, if you sell because of this China thing I will kill you.

Elon Musk has lost his mind. He has been a major part of my time on the stock market. I started trading in 2019, when he was just a hyper-eccentric rich guy, at least to 11 year-old-me. Now, he’s an insane, socially-stunted, egomaniac, who is also rich, the downfall of the century. I have never trusted him with any of my money though, and I never will. I have said a million times that leadership is the most essential part of a company. Not value in the market, not financials, it’s leadership. Just look at Bob Chapek, how quickly a company perfectly positioned can melt when abused and mishandled. Although, the case could also be made that Iger was equally at fault. But like I was saying, Musk is an idiot.

I say this because Elon Musk is an idiot, and you should never invest in him. Now, I know what you’re saying if you read my article about TQQQ, “but Henry, TQQQ has TSLA in it.” And you’re right, it does have a lot of TSLA in it, and it cut me so deeply to buy something even tangentially related to that scum. Tesla is a really bad company, and if I was planning on holding TQQQ longer than a cycle or two I wouldn’t hold at all.

Tesla is so ridiculously overpriced for the amount of cars they sell, it’s not even funny. On top of that, they released one of the ugliest trucks of all time. A truck that I would not trust with my life. I would only buy a “Cybertruck” if I was playing in a driving away women competition, and if I had 70,000 lying around. However, insane prices and ugly cars have never driven away G-Wagon owners, so maybe this is a good call? Not it’s not. Elon is a fraud. Also, this Ukraine thing makes me genuinely mad. He turned off the internet for the Ukraine military because they were going to attack the Russian Fleet. The same Russian fleet that then bombed a Ukrainian town, killing children. He makes me sick, and it’s a bummer that the leader of so many companies that are vital for American improvement is such an imbecile.

This has been sort of a rambly article, so allow me to summarize. Elon Musk is a bad human being with easily corrupted morals. Elon Musk is a child with $200 billion. Elon Musk is a bad businessman, who by some twist of fate now controls the internet for the Ukranian military. Elon Musk runs Tesla, a company that would be in the ground if not for the original hype around a cool electric car that didn’t feel like you were driving in an Al Gore ad. Tesla has very little inherent value and will cease to exist in two decades. Elon Musk is a dangerous narcissist and someone you should never support in any fashion.

Heyyyyy Elon, just in case you’re reading this, I was just joshing around with you. Money, please?
