@Ikennect I think it's a non issue! The LBGTQ crowd is not the type to listen to Carrie Underwood's Savior Sunday on Sirius or anything in her catalog. I think her fan base won't be affected.

@GolubicStephen @thejefflutz Big gamble to bet that much on an unproven company. I'm disappointed and will definitely consider this when listening to others, but I can hang onto my small 4% position for years if I need to. And I want to believe in a US company that's close to home for me.

@TheProfInvestor Everyone says bought 5M worth. Didn't he buy $51773 worth that has a small chance of being 5M? Educate me if I'm wrong, I don't do options.

@sparkes_dwayne Oak Island!

@MrMikeInvesting I will definitely hold onto my small holdings, but tip ranks has insider confidence at Very Negative with 12.87M of sells in the last 3 months. Even so, I would not rely on that to sell.

@farzyness @SawyerMerritt Then explain this chart. I think there is room for all in the market. Some will never buy an ev. They want their big gas truck.

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@IamWaymoot @FarzadMediaINC Because there is room in the market for gas guzzlers as well as EVs.

@yianisz I am concerned about the "not in my back yard" opposition slowing down growth. From Grok:, "reports from Data Center Watch ...
In Q2 2025 (March–June) alone: Opposition escalated sharply, blocking or delaying $98 billion in projects (about 8 blocked, 9 delayed,"

@LimitingThe According to Grok, the serial number of the posted picture shows below build data from USA. The LG NCM811 cell comes from South Korea, only assembled in China.

#ElonMusk I just voted FOR the pay package. Can I have a Model 3?

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@elonmusk So will the America Party advertise or is this just word of mouth?

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@elonmusk Sold all my Tesla shares! Waiting for it to crash.

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@elonmusk The stupidest idea I have have heard. It's like you never realized how politics work. A third party would never work. Stick to managing your companies and making me money!

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

I think about lot of people would agree that the #Tesla brand is suffering due to Elon Musk's Involvement with the Trump administration. What effect if any will this have to long term stock holders like myself?

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@catturd2 I'd like to know where Steve Bannon got that these were illegals! This was just a screwed up Biden program for refugee resettlement, which Trump rightly paused. Nowhere in the NY Post article does it say they are illegals. And I think they would point that out if they knew that.

@bradsferguson In my IRA, my goal is income for retirement. $TSLY is a small percent, but large contribution to my income needs. $1080 this month from my 797 shares. A much larger percent of my holdings are in $TSLA shares which I moved to ROTH early this year. Only adding to those!

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@bradsferguson Thanks for the info! I will definitely check it out.

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@bradsferguson Should have been $TSLA in my Roth!

[Michael Baker @deplorable58]

@bradsferguson I use $TSLY in my IRA for retirement income and $TSLY in my Roth for tax free growth. WIN-WIN!
