“A Man Hears What He Wants To Hear, And Disregards The Rest”

23/ Now a kind of reverse 20 dimensional chess of trying to discern Elon's master plan. Now at least some recognition that he didn't understand advertising world. But they 100% agree just don't bring in Sandberg or Marissa Mayers! (hmmm, interesting pattern).

Oh, let me add this:

2/ Elon asks pals if Jerome Powell is allowed to talk to Elon. Pals say yes, totally legit. Elon's general pitch is we're already in deflation. Fed is wrong. Shld be lowering rates. Fed old school, doesn't understand.

Yeah, that’s why short sellers of Tesla stock have banked $15 billion.

And why Tesla stock has lost so much value it’s like a coyote ate it and then puked it off a cliff. If not for that meddling Fed, Tesla would be fine!

But Elmo “is a genius so he’ll 100% figure it out.” Except he so won’t. Well, not until he straightens out Jerome Powell.

Everybody remember when Elmo talked to Tim Cook and got Apple to change their ways? Except nothing changed? Yeah, it’ll be like that.
