business | > "According to Musk, he calculated the $420 price per share based on a 20% premium over that day's closing share price because he thought 20% was a 'standard premium' in going-private transaction," the SEC alleged in its suit. "This calculation resulted in a price of $419, and Musk stated that he rounded the price ... |
business | I think its annoying with people praise him as being some kind of a genius. I also think its equally annoying when people say hes outright dumb.
Its at least worth recognizing that if you're as rich as Elon, you dont really need to be a genius to do a lot of the stuff he has done. Any billionaire is perfectly capable ... |
business | Technically he isnt an engineer as far as I know. I am fully aware many people say that he may as well be one due to his knowledge on the subject matter pertaining to SpaceX and Tesla, though.
I'm not saying hes a bumbling CEO who is clueless of the technical side of things. I just dont agree with people framing him a... |
business | Uhm. Maybe not super genius. But I’ve watched a lecture he gave on engineering processes and another on rockets.
He has engineering degrees. And he coded zip2 and parts of PayPal.
I work as an engineer rn. I don’t have a certificate that says “bayhack is certified engineer”. As long as you’re designing and building... |

business | The money side of it all isn't really what drives him, so I can easily see him not really giving a shit and just playing around with the idea of getting rid of Wall Street breathing down his neck whatever Tesla was doing. A major distraction.
Not that he surely isn't very good with the finance stuff too (you really h... |
business | The fact 420 is considered code or slang for marijuana and marijuana related things is real.
(Like many silly bits of slang, its origins are lost in time. It's a type of slang that is unusually prone to reverse-etymology: because it is made of numbers not words people think it must have some specific meaning.) Now yo... |
business | If we want to assign him a sub-genius level IQ fine, it doesn’t matter (though I don’t agree). He is an extremely unconventional business owner.
The projects he chooses his companies to work on are almost always very challenging and with high risk. I think his appetite for risk, his willingness to get into the det... |
business | So much ignorance in this comment. Reddit truly shows it is a collection of ignorance time and time again.
Here is a tip - try reading the history behind how and why Tesla was started. Have fun enjoying the part that Elon had little to do with the technology behind the car or the company except being a shrewed busine... |
business | That's been the business plan from the beginning though. Tesla from the outset wanted to grow a new segment and then grab a small slice of the pie. It was always inevitable that BMW, Porsche, etc would have extremely high quality electrics and carry over their exemplary brand image. But Nissan is also worth 40 billion ... |
business | If all were that rosy, why would Musk send those tweets? Many serious investors are losing faith in Tesla's capability of delivering on its promises. Toyota already dumped all of their shares of Tesla.

business | I call BS. Where is your proof you worked at your university's electric vehical research department and they used Tesla patents. Also, kind of defeats the entire purpose of, you know, research. Also, which patent did you use? You know there is a patent for the blinkers, windshield wipers, door handles. Let's get specif... |

Here is a thought, I ask them to Google something, they learn, understand, process the information and come back with a more informed position. Meanwhile, now you lot seems perfectly happy debating my approach instead of true purpose of this chain. Elon is not benevole... |
business | Not really, just seeing how redditors bask in their collective ignorance. The user above lied about his experience. He isn't an engineer. He doesn't know how patents works. He doesn't even know that patents do not usually contain enough information to duplicate/reverse engineer. If it was that easy, China would simply ... |
business | No. An impeachment is kind of like an indictment, it is the act of leveling formal charges against an official. The House has to sole power to impeach. The Senate then tries the impeachment and decides whether to convict and remove the official from office.

business | Well, loan companies use the libor rates as a reference. With falsified libor rates, mortgage companies were more confident than they should have been and giving rates far lower than than they should've been to home buyers. Thus, causing our housing market to bubble and eventually crash. This is just going off of the t... |
business | That’s whataboutism. While more should have been charged, the events of 2008 have zero relevance to Musk’s situation. Prior to his announcement, he had spent weeks lamenting the short sellers of TSLA. Then he announces he may take it private at a significant premium and the stock jumps up immediately. It likely was... |
business | He is playing 4D chess if he raises prices for the DoD and/or NASA when launching all their stuff into space. SpaceX is 2 to 3 times less expensive than ULA and has a good chance at being real cheap compared to the SLS. SpaceX can raise prices and still maintain a competitive price advantage. Heck if he is crazy as peo... |
business | He lost power with PayPal because he wouldn't let go of the idea of renaming the company X.com.
The entire purpose of a board is to preserve shareholder value, not coddle the CEO. If Elon was honest with himself, he would be thankful that the PayPal board removed him. The seed money for SpaceX and his Tesla investment... |
business | If I were Musk then I guess I would do what Musk did, but if I were myself in Musk's position, and my attorneys agreed with the general opinion that the SEC had a solid case against me, then I'd probably take the deal, get a little sleep, and focus on SpaceX for a while.

business | Well, what are the alternatives? Look at the facts: Musk went *way* out on a limb with that tweet, and it clearly had an effect on the stock price. It's pretty obvious he did not have "funding secured" because he had only come up with a price in his own fucking mind, without any actual guidance from the people who *mig... |
business | It's a bit strong to say he fabricated a fictitious buyout. Maybe he had talked to some Middle Eastern entity about taking Tesla private (though it also apparently involved a facility in the Middle East.) These people might even have had the money to do it.

politics | Beto can use Avenatti as a foil if he's savvy. Cruz is embracing Trump after he denigrated his father, his wife and his family. Foil's are incredibly useful to be "above the fray" and I think Beto can capitalize on that.

politics | Yeah this seems like a bad idea to me. Lots of potential downsides.

politics | No we don’t. If everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton voted for Beto it would be a stomp. Beto’s entire game is turnout and rooting out democrats in areas that haven’t seen a democratic candidate in decades. The reason he’s doing so well is precisely because he’s doing the opposite of what you think he is.

politics | It's a simple thing, but it's true. Texas is gigantic, we have a huge population. Lots of things happen day to day. Unless some outrageous stunt happens it'll be a blip in the news cycle at best, and if Beto isn't around, there's no reason to think the two things are linked.
