Elon, Muskie Musk Rat?

Following up on Tesla is Wrong, And Superbowls Are Fixed? 

Over at a financial forum...

P – "That's the kind of thing a penny stock does – not an established company.  Had TSLA not dilluted their shares, their losses per share would have been TWICE AS BAD as what was expected (-.82), not just 50% worse than expected."

We Nattered... Tesla employs next to no one, makes cars and loses big money on every one sold, stock price $300. Ford, GM, Chrysler employ tens of thousands, and indirectly hundreds of thousands, they make cars and make money, stock prices 11, 33 and 10 respectively.  

Like Ol' Muskie Musk Rat (kin to Deputy Dawg) Musk has taken his investors for a ride proving that Barnum was right.  Priceless.  At some point whoever gets caught holding the bag last will take a bath while Muskie will unfortunately never see this fate. 

Rustle - All except one Fast Money Trader for the last two weeks were extremely bullish on TSLA and were telling everyone to buy it and it was their number 1 tech stock over all others and they could see 500bn market cap.  So if you had to pick one, they pick the company losing a ton of money over GOOG, FB, AAPL etc.  Ridiculous and also the fact they call this a tech stock I still don't buy.  I still think of it as an auto stock till revenues and profits from other sources prove otherwise. 

Rustle - Rumor has it that TSLA has ordered Grohmann engineering to stop working on BMW, VW and Daimler and didn't inform any of the clients that work has stopped. Supposedly lawsuits will be filed when Grohmann misses deadline and now Musk who basically provoked these lawsuits can use it as an excuse for Model 3 delays. He has not had an easy time with Grohmann so far. It is a rumor but does make sense. 

P - Grohmann/Rustle – I'm pretty sure it's a fact, it's why the CEO quit on him – he didn't want to screw over his clients.  

We Nattered... Musk just bought them in Nov and recently closed the deal. Musk is pissing off the union boys in Germany and scabs in Fremont, who now want to unionize.  Motley Fool covered how the whole acquisition has been botched. More on Grohman founder being ousted and a potential strike at their plant in Prum, Germany.

Rustle - TSLA/Naybob - read that article.  This will eventually backfire on them.  He could buddy up to Trump, but he won't make friends with Merkel and Germany who will obviously favor their own car companies.  OH WAIT, TSLA is not a car company, it's a tech company.
