Elon Musk

Whatever else you may think of Elon Musk, you have to give the guy credit for almost never apologizing, explaining, or kowtowing to the SJW crowd. Robert Reich the Ivy League "economist".  ;/

He may be a Bond villain, but dang it he's OUR Bond villain.

FWIW, I have appreciated my Tesla stock this summer, and despite the company currently being overvalued, I continue to think it's a good investment, because they try all kinds of new things, and succeed at most of them.

Musk v. Putin, and Bond is only ever seen just waiting their spat with amusement and popcorn.

I cannot understand how the stock stays above $4 (post-split) nevermind $350.  If had TSLA, given the still sketchy as hell fundamentals of the company, I'd be setting some price target and would unload it all at that point. Granted I'd have done that at $200 pre-split, and missed a lot of irrational exuberance.

Money laundering or black project cash seem most likely.  Howard Hughes didn't build the Glomar Explorer with his own money.

1. There is a huge amount of money/investors looking for a place to invest.
2. Tesla is very popular and popularity has value.

There you go. It's really no different than tech stocks like Facebook or Google. I don't see any hard values in most of those types of tech stocks if you run the numbers. Outside of "popularity", the stock values make no sense, yet people are making oodles of dollars on them.
