    Elon is trying to shake out the weak hands and tamp down the speculative side of Tesla bulls, especially knowing that its U.S. factories are sitting idle.

    All the stockholders who recently lost their jobs and have to sell Tesla shares will not be happy. They might even suspect that Elon tried to bring the stockprice down before he receives his bonus shares. That would save him a substatial sum in taxes. Anyway, that was a dirty trick he played on all shareholders so shortly after the official earnings call, sending out an unsubstantiated warning about the stock price.

    • Liberal Christo

      May 1, 2020 at 10:43 pm

      Or he does believe Tesla stock is too high and doesn’t want his stock to crumble like the rest of the market this May

      @Liberal Christo, Harvey Pitt is spot on. Elon is a visionary but he’s also a bit of a nutjob who is incapable of keeping his mouth shut even when it’s in his best interest to do so. He’s just begging for more legal troubles with his irresponsible behavior.

    Please… Elon is again correct… and lets stop being so politic correct. In this crises nothing is what it looks like. How can stock rise during this crises? Why not go after the criminals @ Wallstreet really lying steeling people pension funds… lets get them first behind bars then chasing after someone who just gives a good advice?

    • Jim Wheeler

      May 1, 2020 at 11:47 pm

      Gee, do you think it just might have had something to do with Tesla beating the street with its quarterly earnings report where it turned a profit when it was expected to report a loss?

    Wow, this Harvey guy sounds real old and out of touch with running a business in the modern world. Says the SEC may have bigger fish to fry, though Elon Musk runs the highest valued motor company in the US. (Sounds like a very big fish to me).

    The sky is above us. Anyone who states this clear and obvious fact much be chased up by the scc.

    A bad bull can get loose. What he’s doing is sensible. Short term traders (i.e. those looking to trade Tesla stocks after a minor recovery for a major profit) are pissed. Financialisation out of control is a big problem which is what some are trying to get out of this crisis.

    CEOs should be able to try and pop bubbles before they make too much of a bang. Any law in which a CEO can’t attempt to influence the price of their stock is fundamentally stupid.

    Investors should take responsibility in valuing their stocks before a buy. The fact that the market is regulated in such a way is wildly stupid.

    He is not pumping the price up with his tweets so i don’t see the problem …

      Ever heard of short selling

    • Arnoud van Houwelingen

      May 2, 2020 at 1:17 am

      @Hao Jue He I am on the legal team of mr. Musk. The answer to your question is NO short selling. My client has never shorted Tesla stock and is not planning to short the stock in the very near future! Also his twitter account may have been hacked!

    Haha he says he has a hard time keeping to his commitments. Are you kidding me. Old man… WTF. Elon is looking out for number one. Mars baby Mars.. that’s his end game. His real dream. In my opinion musk has done more for humanity than any one else at this time and age.

    Today I vowed to never buy a Tesla product as long as Elon Musk is involved with the company. His Tweets are over the line, irresponsible, and stupid, and what’s funny is the “stock price is too expensive” one far from the worst. Dude needs to knock it off, and remind himself he’s a billionaire and doesn’t need to be so greedy.

    I’ve see other CEOs do it (obervalued, undervalued etc), not sure why Musk is attracting attention.

    • ABRAXAS

      May 2, 2020 at 1:24 pm

      Because he likes being a celebrity? Other CEOS are pop culture figures like he clearly desires to be.

    Is this even real?! Mericans are very unstable even this guy or maybe he’s right. But the Apple stocks are so bloated and inflated fake that they’re running out of “back ups”.

    • Corey Bullock

      May 3, 2020 at 12:26 am

      He’s not directly shorting his own stock. He’s shorting his stock for other investors to by the dip and drive the stock price even higher, especially after the economy recovers.

    • sparkle sparkles

      May 3, 2020 at 12:46 am

      @Corey Bullock I think you are overly optimistic about a recovery that’s not coming for a few years. COVID-19 did highlight how irrelevant the silicon valley is to the health of a society.

    The restrictions we put on our public CEOs is pretty ridiculous. People like relatability and authenticity. That’s why they like Elon, especially when he does things like this. Let CEOs be humans, not robots

      Elon delivered thousands of ventilators when Bloomberg is busy groping women and posting fake news. CNN, MSNBC, and Democrats are about to hit rock bottom, the evidence is building NOW!!!! And a lot better timing then this Democrat virus before elections to demolish Trumps economy, George Soros was even saying it was going to crash, he’s behind the virus 100% these old elite rich pedophiles days are numbered because Hell is coming for them and they need to pay up all the Rothchilds, Soros, Bill Gates, and to let them burn in eternal hell!!!

  41. Steve West

    May 2, 2020 at 4:47 pm

    Well yes, He Manipulated the stock market price of his company thru tweets. So basically if one of us had bought $1200 stimulus dollars worth of Stock in Tesla..with that tweet… Their $1200 would have been gone!

  42. Jay Jay

    May 2, 2020 at 4:53 pm

    Harvey is wrong here. Not ALL of his tweets were supposed to be reviewed. That would be a rights violation. Only certain kinds of information had to be reviewed before tweeting, and what he said was not one of them. And then Harvey calls him an adolescent? What an asshole.

  43. The Knave

    May 2, 2020 at 6:25 pm

    Simple supply and demand problem: Individuals and institutions are trying to replace losses from the crash, so they buy TSLA, which is still going up.
    otoh, longs aren’t selling (I don’t blame them a bit), which restricts the number of shares available = higher prices.
    So, yes. Technically, the stock *is* too high.

    Very smart person that “Harvey Pitt”. Who are you dude? You are not court, you are not deciding it. Either you sit right by Elon himself and saw that he posted it, this way you say something, or not, then stfu!
    All we can do is wait for official press release from Tesla and other authorities! That is only source of information, and not twitters or some 3rd party “experts”.

  52. Dan Wayne

    Don’t fucking tell me that’s an SEC violation. This world needs more TRUTH. That’s why he said it. The man is leading by example and I applaud him. This system is showing it’s weakness.

  54. Chad Leach

    May 3, 2020 at 1:27 pm

    So he’s in trouble when saying the stock price should go to 420 and it shoots into the 700s and also in trouble when he says, again, the stock is too high.
    Is musk just in trouble whenever he’s right then?
