Fatal mistake. There will be an inevitable falling out of the Trump / Musk marriage of convenience. Nobody can stand next to Trump without getting a knife in the back.

My investment advice: short . Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

@CheapPontoon This is what I keep thinking, two narcissists can't exist in the same space for long, this is going to be ugly.

@CheapPontoon To be fair, the same can be said of Musk. Everyone should had sold their Tesla shares when he bought Twitter: the price is down by 50% since then (the upwards blip of the past 2 days is extremely suspicious, being based on exceptionally high share volumes).

I looked at the financials for the past 3 years. It's already very, very sick.

@CheapPontoon Update: have just seen Tesla's Treasury stock (shares that the company has bought back, usually a ploy to maintain the quoted stock price by reducing availability) makes up more than half of shareholders' equity.

That's one very sick and mismanaged company. #Tesla
