Yea my first thought was that Musk was just trying to squeeze the shorts, but that would be highly illegal. Musk can't be that stupid. The CEO of a publicly traded company can't act like Trump and tweet in bad-faith to try to bully reality into conforming to his wishes.

I suppose the CEO of a publicly trading company CAN act like the President of the United States? Seems like a good strategy actually. The strategy got Donald Trump the Presidency. (edit): why all the downvotes? I realize my comment might have come off as sarcastic. Sorry that was not my intent--I just wanted to point out something I noticed.

Lol, a private company CEO should be more serious than USA president?! At least I didn't see from where Trump is not serious about his tweet.

Is Musk constantly inside-joking himself? Why $420 a share? Why do his car models spell S3X? Is his internal email bong69@boring.com? I love this guy.

Don't forget that the Model 3 was originally planned to be "Model E", but Ford owns the rights to that name. Also, there's a planned compact SUV which goes by "Model Y". U+1F644

He even made a public comment "Ford is trying to kill SEX"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you think calling heroes "pedos" is funny too?

Maybe the "hero" shouldn't be throwing insults on twitter like a child. I thought the insult was well considered because, in context, the diver was going after kids. It's a sly kind of funny that someone from another country might think is very funny.

This is the first comment I’ve seen approving that tweet and it’s every bit as deluded and cringeworthy as I’d expect. Musk never even apologized for that one did he?

The problem, at this point, is that I think the average person must find all this very tiresome. Let's set aside all the theories about whether or not Musk is actually a stable genius for doing everything he's done lately (including calling one of his critics "pedo guy"). With everything that's going on in the world today, I just don't have the energy to keep up with all this grandstanding. The result? I'm sick of hearing about Elon Musk. I'm sick of hearing what he has to say. I'm sick of thinking about Tesla and, now, I probably won't ever buy one.

In India, 420 means scam\fraud. Just sharing the other (interesting) side. I don't think Musk used this number for any fraud.
