👀😐Even Elon doesn't think he's playing 4d chess. Not when Telsla stock is tanking (sh.itjust.works)

Ok, so let's assume they are playing 4D chess. What's the objective? Creating a distraction before releasing the Epstein files? That's what all this is for?

That's not 4D chess. That's a clown show with smoke bombs.

Could be just bump and dump on tesla stock tbh

Not for Elon, he's leveraged to the hilt on his stock. This is no bueno for Elon.

Trading works both ways

Elon can't easily buy or short his own stock, there are regulations that require advance notice of any trades. So Elon's priority is to move the stock higher, since he can't time the stock.

  1. Elon is not the only market participant
  2. None of these people follow laws
  3. Elon done bad shit sec did nothing he literally said he doesnt respect the sec on twatter

Lemmy normie: Elon wouldn't do something that violates SEC regulations 🤡

He was forced to buy Twitter, and he said as much in an interview:

Clayton: So then you change your mind again, and decided to buy it – did you do that? Did you do that?

Musk: Well, I kind of had to.

Clayton: Right. Did you do that, because you thought that a court would make you do that?

Musk: Yes.

Clayton: Right.

Musk: Yes, that is the reason.

Clayton: So you were still trying to get out of it. And then you just were advised by lawyers, “Look, you’re going to buy this?”

Musk: Yes.

So yeah, I do think he has some respect for the SEC.

I suppose Elon is feeling cornered.

The reputation of Tesla has never been lower and he’s at risk of getting kicked out. The future of SpaceX is uncertain under Trump. His role in the government didn’t pan out.

So I guess his only hope is to get Trump out of office as soon as possible. Maybe the next one will be less hostile against Elon.

I don’t think he will succeed. The cult of Trump is too strong. Elon is done for.

This all assumes the data Musk’s goons stole (and the star link antennas he installed to keep stealing it), isn’t plenty to keep musk in control of the government. They literally went there to set up the shadow government that they’d been dreaming and projecting about.

This MAGA xhitter retreats into heavy copium mode because they just cannot allow themselves to see what is really happening rn.

And what better copium than another outrageous conspiracy narrative.

You could just ask Batman for smoke bombs if you wanted!
