I Have Spoken: The Market Has Spoken

A lot of you probably don't know who I am. Some call me Mando others Din Djarin. What I do know is beskar holds its value. Now this Elon Musk... he's got shiny toys like speeders but seems he's traded his focus. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas and you know how I feel about analysts says Tesla's stock is going south faster than a bantha in quicksand. Seems Musk is busy politicking after a fall out with that Trump character. I don't know much about politics but even I know you don't mess with credits when you got a bounty to collect. This is not the way.

Mandalorian Math: Credits Don't Lie

Tesla stock took a bigger hit than a Hutt's ego dropping nearly 7%. That's a lot of credits gone up in smoke. Jonas is saying to expect more trouble with Musk spending time and resources chasing votes instead of building self driving transports. Smart move? I don't think so. A Mandalorian is only as good as his word and a company is only as good as its balance sheet.

No disintegrations! (But Maybe Some Divestments?)

Apparently this whole kerfuffle started because Congress passed some bill that Trump cooked up. Musk didn't like it so he decided to start his own party. Now I've seen a lot of impulsive decisions in my time but this one takes the cake. The bill ends federal tax incentives for those electric speeders. Musk claims that isn't why he opposes it but come on who is he kidding? Does he think we are all Gungans? Does this guy even know about the Mandalorian code or is he just making this up as he goes? I am starting to see why his stock is down.

This is the Way... Downwards?

Despite the chaos Morgan Stanley is still telling people to buy Tesla stock. They think it'll go up 39% in the next year. Seems a little optimistic even for a Mandalorian with a jetpack. I've seen bounties disappear faster than Beskar on Nar Shaddaa. Stock is down 26% this year. The numbers speak for themselves.

I Can Bring You In Warm... Or I Can Bring You In Cold... Your Portfolio That Is.

So what's a bounty hunter to do? Well I stick to what I know: keeping my armor polished my blaster clean and my credits close. This Musk fella? He's betting on a long shot. Time will tell if his gamble pays off but I wouldn't bet my Mudhorn egg on it.

The Force is Strong with this Turbulence

This whole situation is a reminder that even the flashiest tech and biggest egos can be brought down to earth. Politics and business mix like oil and water or like Jawas and good manners. Just remember: This is the way... the way to potentially lose your shirt if you aren't careful. Now if you'll excuse me I have a foundling to protect and a galaxy to traverse. And I need to see if I can invest in some Beskar.
