Tesla's Wild Ride: From Trump Tantrums to Investor Zen

From My Couch to Your Portfolio: What's Up With Tesla?

Alright folks let's talk Tesla. So I saw this news about Elon and Trump going at it again. Honestly it's like watching two toddlers fight over a really expensive toy. One day they are buddies the next day they are in each others' faces. I’ve been there… with the WinkleVoss twins! The stock took a hit some analysts are scratching their heads. As I always say: 'Move fast and break things'... sometimes that includes the stock price apparently. Don't worry that's why we are building Meta AI to predict these things.

Elon vs. Trump: A Drama in Two Acts (And a Lot of Tweets)

Apparently Elon called Trump's tax bill a 'disgusting abomination.' Strong words! Reminds me of the early days of Facebook when someone would suggest changing the News Feed. Total chaos! Then Trump fires back talking about subsidies. It’s like a high stakes reality TV show where the prize is… well I'm not sure what the prize is. World peace? A free Cybertruck? Either way pass the popcorn this is better than the Metaverse at this point.

The Investor's Guide to Not Panicking (Too Much)

So the stock dipped. Big deal. Josh Brown on CNBC says Tesla investors 'don't care about anything.' Maybe they're just really good at meditating? Or maybe they know something the rest of us don't. Maybe their AI is better than mine. Personally I think it is an over reaction to something quite trivial and that the stock is oversold. After all we are all here 'to make the world more open and connected' even when it gets a bit… heated.

Musk's 'Epstein Files' Claim: Yikes

Okay things got a little spicy there. Elon throwing around 'Epstein files' accusations? That's… not ideal. Even for a company known for pushing boundaries. It is the kind of thing that makes you want to scrub your hard drives clean. I hope no one starts asking me questions about that stuff. 'Privacy is important' after all. It's always important until it comes to your own files!

Trump's Budget Battle Cry: Terminate Elon's Subsidies

Trump wants to cut Elon's 'Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' Classic Trump. Always looking for a way to shake things up. It's like when I decided to pivot Facebook to the Metaverse... without consulting anyone. Look I get it sometimes you just gotta make bold moves. Even if they involve taking away someone else's funding. I mean it's not like I'm exactly short on funds.

The Takeaway: Keep Calm and Hodl On

Look the market's a rollercoaster. It goes up it goes down. Sometimes because of tweets sometimes because of actual world events. The point is don't let the noise get to you. If you believe in the long term vision stick with it. After all we're all building the future together. Or as I like to say 'The biggest risk is not taking any risk.' So go out there and take some (calculated) risks! (Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor. This is just me Mark rambling about the news.)
