Tesla, the largest multi government soak job in history. Just a social program dressed up as capitalism and led by a penny stock hustler type promoted as "a rock star" by the media. Might as well be a nationalized industry because there is no way in hell it could ever justify its market cap. Just today, one clown presenter on CNBC told the audience that some other clown claimed it would be worth 4000 per share one day. LOL! What a farce. The competition is coming and they will all be losing money on the segment together. Without government subsidies, there is no way anyone would ever choose one of those overpriced con job cars. All in the name of resource sharing. You buy an electric car so someone in Africa or Asia can have a barrel of oil. What? You don't want to do that? Ok then, buy an electric car to save the planet from those filthy carbon fuels! Do your social responsibility you little pukes! Aramco just told the world that their biggest oil field will last another 50 years. We are gonna pump it all out of the ground and what are you and you and your grandchildren going to do then? Buy a Tesla and get them powered up by coal and natural gas. We still have plenty of that in the ground. Come on, it's cool and Elon is a pot smoking rebellious genius. Don't you want to be a hipster or a mod like Elon? Buy and invest in "disruptive technologies" You'll be doing so much for the collective!

Tesla Inc. (TSLA $275) was again in the news after a federal judge gave CEO Elon Musk and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) two weeks to resolve their differences, delaying a request from the SEC to hold Musk in contempt for allegedly violating a securities fraud agreement made with the agency back in October. The hearing came about after a February tweet about the company's production forecasts, to where the settlement with the SEC prohibits Musk from using Twitter without first obtaining company review and approval. Yesterday, TSLA came under heavy pressure after the electric automaker announced that due to lower-than-expected delivery volumes for Q1 and several pricing adjustments it expects net income for the period to be negatively impacted. Shares traded higher.
