Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, praising Elon Musk as “the best person to bet on.”
Speaking on Jesse Watters Primetime, Lutnick defended Musk amid vandalism protests linked to Musk’s support for far-right politics and federal budget cuts.
He claimed Musk’s innovations, including robots and space technology, make Tesla stock undervalued.
Lutnick’s comments sparked criticism over potential legal and ethical conflicts, as government officials promoting individual stocks may violate ethics regulations.
Overall it’s a smart move. It’s like how scammers insert typos into their emails to filter out anyone with brain cells.
They have a small, captive audience of low intelligence and low information viewers. They’re the perfect vulnerable people to separate from their money.
Large captive audience of low intelligence…
@MicroWave Conservatives have repeatedly said that government should not be picking winners and losers. What changed?
The wind blew in a different direction.
It’s like the “there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in-groups for the law to protect but not bind” thing.
Conservatism has always been about promoting the in-group. It’s not about rules or fairness or consistency. Just the in-group.
It’s a shitty world view.
Rules for thee, none for me… the unofficial official republican slogan.
What changed is that conservatives are in charge now, the old rules only applied when they don’t get to pick the winners and losers.
Go for it. Lose your retirements, losers.
If Fox is trying to make their viewers go broke, might as well tell them to buy $TRUMP coin, too.
Oh it’s coming, this will be their big plan to “save” social security. Back it with shitcoins like $TRUMP or $DOGE
He claimed Musk’s innovations, including robots and space technology, make Tesla stock undervalued.
The fuck does that have to do with Tesla?
Shaq was amazing at rebounds, doesn’t mean I want a cartoon general as my car insurance because Shaq is also involved with that company…
It’s not even his inventions. Like a modern day Edison, he just takes credit for other people’s work.
Musk is a great guy!
Just look at all the businesses he’s bought from founders, taken all the credit, and ran into the ground!

Undervalued? I think even Tesla investors know it’s a bubble. One glance at Toyota and Honda stocks make that abundantly clear.
Jon Oliver had a segment; Tesla lost more value than like 20 other real car companies in 2025…
It’s a meme stock that sometimes makes cars. The price was based on people thinking the numbers would always go up.
That usually ends bad
Man, Musk’s innovations are amazing. Tesla’s service department makes so much money
Trunk leaks water because it was designed by people who don’t see rain?
Time to fix!
Slam your door too hard and the door card falls off?
Time to fix!
Monitor that controls most things in your car starts to fail because it was the biggest but not checked to be automotive grade?
Time to fix!
Your gas pedal gets stuck to the trim and makes your car speedy?
Time to fix!
“DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY MUSK”…poor dems get blamed for everything.
Sounds like praise to me, but they’re not even doing it! :/
Short TSLA.
Puts at 170 will pay out very nicely.
Whats your expiry? This volatility is making puts so damn expensive
I was personally looking at May, but that’s pretty damn expensive for me.
I’m thinking June, but I’m also not going to go to 170.
Late May
As he was saying it they showed the Vegas video of Teslas on fire. Delicious irony.
He is speaking to the youths: TSLA is 🔥fr
Just like Trump Coin and Melania Coin! GET THOSE POORS TO REALLY DIG DEEP!!!
These assholes are fucking disgusting. These idiots hosts are even worse. Why don’t y’all go and buy five Tesla’s, huh? Who is the fuck is crying for Elon Musk getting his wallet absolutely fucked?
Nutlick never fails to deliver illegal information.
If this seems highly unusual it’s because it is. They are getting desperate now and this move is all the proof you need, I hope they put every red cent from their social security money on Tesla stock lol
Puke
“buy tesla stock”
Which means buy Tesla Puts :)
I also urge conservatives to buy Tesla stock, but definitely for different reasons.
They might want to consider this article in the Financial Times first: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/32620139
