    I realize the images the world saw of Elon Musk, such as this one, featuring him doing the Nazi Sieg Heil salute might not be on the top of some shareholders’ minds, but I think we need constant reminders of what the leader of Tesla represents.

    Good on Lehigh County for taking this measure. More, please.

    Musk’s shitty behavior aside, it’s extremely overvalued. I don’t understand what people are thinking.

    Fiduciary duty alone should have been enough to stop them buying a long time ago. When the stock price finally comes back to earth, there will be lawsuits galore.

      I keep asking for anyone, anyone to give me a reason this company is valued at like 900B.

      Every answer is like “well, if you believe Musk that…” and my friend, I do not believe Musk after all these years and all this. <gestures at everything>
