#ElonMusk Looks Desperate
How to lose $148B in less than 2 months
By Charlie Warzel
For years, #Trump’s critics have accused him of behaving like a crooked used-car salesman. Tues afternoon, he did it for real on the WH South Lawn.
Squinting in the sun w/Elon #Musk, Trump stood next to 5 #Tesla vehicles, holding a piece of paper w/handwritten notes about their features & costs. Trump said he would purchase a car himself at full price.

Then #Trump & #Musk got into one of the cars. Musk explained that the electric vehicle was “like a golf cart that goes really fast.” Trump offered his own praise to the camera: “Wow. That’s beautiful. This is a different panel than I’ve—everything’s computer!”
This was a stilted, corrupt attempt to juice a friend’s stock, & certainly beneath the office of the presidency. But you ought not to overlook just how #embarrassing the spectacle was for Musk.
Looking forward to going to this weekend's #TeslaTakedown. Let's push those stocks down even further.

Someone had posted about Tesla’s federal tax bills (minuscule to non-existent), which led me down one of those filings rabbit holes,
Do we know why Elon’s brother is again selling off shares this month?
