You guys should look at the markets occasionally before you spout off. In other interesting news Russia is posting naked pictures of Trump's wife on state media. Perfect campaign on their part, get him elected and then smear him for control and to sow distrust in the American population. Also there are reports of several phone calls between Putin and Musk. If not mistaken, it was the daughter who had posted naked for playboy or a calendar ages ago... Russia?? May be not... Just a trick trying to stir up conflict, may be. Few days ago, someone profiled as "white house lead of communication engineers, managing project worth billions" posted a comment on something written by a said trusted source of financial analyst, Gideon, on LinkedIn. He said (roughly):" Soldiers of North Korea found checking on porn sites in Russia... From limited internet access in North Korea to opened to be used in Russia, ( how they handle behavioral change or something, don't quite recall)..." A few believed the news was fabricated. And those who can monitor the activity usually would not disclose info like this. One replied:" Is this from perspective of people who might have skipped military training? ( This reader went on commenting on how exhausting training could be. Soldiers usually have no time for other things except strict training routine. In addition, they might not be allowed to use phone worrying location, setting being accidentally disclosed or some sort... Linkedin account of the commentor is blocked after this...) Such a free financial analyst to monitor porn sites activities like who is checking..... Could be these duo too who released naked photo of ...... and blamed it on Russia... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't really matter for this question. I was comparing market cap of the three companies. Musk's personal wealth is irrelevant. Remember, you were the one who brought up Musk's other ventures (twitter) - not me. Try to stay on topic. Predict Tesla shares price at 1,2,3 months from now. Why not?

Their financial records are under scrutiny. The Tesla profits are in no way fake. You do not need to make a product to make real money. Facebook operated at a loss for years, makes no tangible product at all other than advertising and selling your data and yet had huge valuation because they had investor confidence. Venture capitalism baby. Not sure if investors and share holders receive dividend every now and then? They can only receive if the company makes enough money to pay. With negative cash flow like facebook and 2.7m cash flow of tesla per annum, how much a share holder receives per quarter or per year? Are you one of the share holders and receiving your dividend??

The appointment is a private matter, not under government pay, nor needs parliament approval. Thought Ron Paul was Elon approaching. A doctor by training, making sensible comments when others are flowing with crowd or bought off. His advice, although still has room for improvement, would be good to have. In the old days, shares in my country used to be out of kind intention of the pioneer generation to share wealth. Later, it becomes racial tool to help one particular race only out of poverty, without effort put in, using multi streams of government revenue. Modern market is full of young cheaters. They are there i) offering their shares to be purchased, ii) getting cash money from people learning to buy shares online iii) scraping off millions & billions of cash, iv) leaving one stranded with numbers in online account which could be removed when the web is shut down... This was a revival of an old technique used in the 80s, called " buy nothing, sell nothing". Many fallen into the scamming scheme out of trust on the well known leader. My father included... Invest no more money into it. Or get to know Elon personally. He might be paying you on personal pockets shall you are starving...
