The pedo diver story does

The pedo diver story does remain in the news because of Musk's strange fixation/inability to STFU.
Aside from that,wasn't very good for Musk goring as 1) Musk got the shorts off his back (yeah, we'll see where an SEC investigation goes - don't hold your breath), and 2) Tesla is on track to reach its Q3 numbers, slightly beat revenue (loss) projections, and is actually making a profit per Tesla 3 now. Is a pivotal quarter for him, for sure. If he can keep his mouth shut. But the great thing about Musk-goring is whatever goes right, there's always something trivial to quibble over, so gore on.

Tesla builds new delivery

Tesla builds new delivery organization to handle ramped-up production.
https://electrek.co/2018/08/30/tesla-building-new-delivery-organization-...

That’s a dramatic boost in Tesla production in just the past 5 years. And remember, every step along the way, critics claimed — often quite loudly — that Tesla couldn’t produce significantly more cars than it was producing at the time, that demand wasn’t there anyway, and that the sky is neon orange (you’re just not looking closely enough). It appears all three claims have been incorrect.

The "pedo" first told him to shove his boat up his ass. So why exactly do you care about this soap opera? Because Elon is a billionaire? Or some other pertinent reason?

More importantly, what do you say to the evidence of short-selling, and that the famous "you're boring me" was about 2 short-sellers who hadn't even bothered to read the information sent out ahead of the earnings call? Or do you think Elon has an obligation to suffer fools gladly, unlike Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jamie Dimon, and all the other prickish CEOs of America? I'm still trying to figure out why I or you should be shocked or even have a dog in this fight. And last I saw, the SEC wasn't going to even take the investigation of the take-it-private statement forward, so it appears to be be dead in the water at this point.

And since all this started around concern trolling abiut Tesla's production, does this recent report sound like a company in trouble? https://cleantechnica.com/2018/08/30/tesla-model-3-production-has-25-33-...

In reply to Already saw it, but thanks.

So... he says he’s going to take Tesla private and even falsely claims to have secured funding to do so. He spiked the stock to $380 with a false claim, all while making jokes about selling Tesla branded “short shorts.” and now the stock is down more than 25% since his own false statements.

Oh, and the pedo diver story, which should have gone away by now, is still a story because Musk basically said that if the diver didn’t sue him for libel, he wasn’t really denying the allegation.

This has been a good month for me as a Musk-Ox. He keeps goring himself!

Seeking Alpha runs hit piece

In reply to Expert estimates 6000 per

Seeking Alpha runs hit piece on Tesla, and then in last paragraph sneaks in "oh, I guess Tesla numbers are pretty good after all".

Meanwhile, Tesla successfully testing out new UPS truck, and suspects along with Electrek that 2/3 of complaints to Dept of Transport are fake. Guess Hillary's PizzaGate & Weiner's laptop might not be the only hit job?

In reply to Peracles... How about this

Same thing with Muskie, and he was standing in the New Hampshire sleet - but didn't matter - press sunk him anyway.
