Musk may face margin call...

Unread post by TC Talks »

Break my heart.
Elon Musk may be forced to sell shares previously pledged to secure certain personal loans, should Tesla stock continue to decline.

As pointed out by several online commentators, Musk is currently close to facing a margin call on the loans used to facilitate his 2022 purchase of Twitter.

Tesla shares were changing hands at $225.31 ahead of Wednesday's market opening. The stock is down 41 percent since the start of the year, 47 percent since Trump's inauguration, and 38 percent in the past month.
283,000,000 Americans didn't vote for Trump.

Or when the January 6 crowd sours on Elon, maybe they'll be ready to handle one of their own.

To borrow a quote from George Carlin: Fuck Elon. Fuck him in the asshole with a big rubber dick. Then break it off and beat him with the rest of it.

I would think the Jan 6 crowd would got after his Autism patrol doing the actual work. They are the real problem here.

What would the crime be?
Or do you just like the idea of locking people up you don't like?

Illegally obtaining people’s private information or violating their privacy rights… his appointment and its legality is murky. There probably is something there he’s done that’s illegal with the bull in a China shop approach to things. I’m not holding my breath for anyone to figure that out.

In fact a federal judge blocked DOGE access to personal data SSA has so there is something there.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

The Resistance begins now.

This is a pro-Democracy account.

Dear America… you were warned.

Trump is too stupid to know what "reciprocal" means.
