Twitter's rebrand to X is actually happening - possibly the worst rebrand I've ever seen. Quite funny to watch that dumpster fire of a platform just be absolutely destroyed by Musk.

running everything into the ground? or just twitter?

Imo just Twitter at the moment, but the cybertruck looks like a potential flop too. There’s also the possibility that he may go bankrupt just because of the sheer loss he’s going to take from this whole Twitter buyout.

The cybertruck is not going to be a flop. It has almost 2 million reservations (proof: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1--6OR9ECwSwZdkOtWkuslJVCyAAfQv1eJal1fdngfsk/edit#gid=982860347).

Also, Tesla is planning to build 250,000 of them a year, which I’m sure they thought through.

All in all, no offense but I would trust the multi-billion $ company on this, not someone with no inside info.

For reference, those reservations only cost $100, so there’s zero chance that every single person that reserved a Cybertruck is actually going to buy one, especially considering the hefty price tag. I think it’s extremely likely that Tesla will likely sell about a million at most. Also, I’m not asking you to just randomly trust my words - look at the research that anyone else has done. Elon has decimated Twitter’s value and he’s driving the whole company into the ground, and wasting billions of dollars in the process.

There’s no chance Tesla would make a factory to sell 250k a year without thinking about it first

There’s also no way Twitter would change their entire branding system to a literal screenshot of a font but that happened anyway 🙃 I’m just saying that Musk has been acting weird lately and you never know. However, if they do start producing 250k a year then good for them, they’ll supply all the preorders in a little over a year. I have more faith in Tesla than I do in Twitter/X because it has more oversight.

That’s fair

tesla investors are also very worried (as he’s too focused on twitter and most people who buy electric cars don’t agree with many of his opinions). additionally, he’s facing like 10 lawsuits from the SEC, FTC, FCC, and other bodies/organizations.

And yet, the stock is up.

That’s crazy, I thought investors were worried!

but it's a little weird that elon himself is warning shareholders 🤔
