All the other people on the road are having autopilot forced on them by reckless early adopters.

Not to mention the fact that, if they're software screws up and kills you, they'll rush to to Twitter in an attempt to smear you using personal data and deceptive statements.

TSLA has a ton of retail investors, which definitely helps prop up the price, but there are definitely institutional investors as well. Everything is expensive these days, so one of the few ways to generate alpha is to buy the right 'priced to perfection' companies, and for some reason (that I personally can't comprehend) TSLA has a lot of savvy investors going long.

That being said, the short interest on this stock is incredibly high, making it very pricy to bet against the company.

I don't know about SpaceX (since they're private), but anyone who can read a quarterly report knows that TSLA is one downturn away from becoming insolvent. Their last bond issuance was well into junk territory, and the cash burn means they'll be forced to raise more money sometime this year. If cash becomes harder to come by they're in real trouble.

It doesn't help that they seem incapable of ramping up Model 3 production.

If its god or nothing, then how do you explain the fact that most philosophers are both atheists and moral realists?

Except not all viewpoints are valid or true. If (as a vast majority of philosophers think) morality is objective, then those people are simply wrong about what is ethical/unethical.

> Not sure if that can get employees into trouble in case of a criminal investigation

Hopefully they can. We need to make it clear that 'just following orders' is no excuse for criminal behaviour.

Yes, parroting debunked anti-Semitic conspiracy theories is anti-Semitic.

It kind of is, since this functionality should've shipped with the wallet, like it does with every other crypto.

Insurance is a form of security.

I didn't realise hardware wallets were FDIC insured.

Source? Because on the face of it that's laughably untrue.

If it was only a handful of malefactors, then the rest of them should be forcing the bad apples out quickly, and calling for justice. The fact that the vast majority of police officers remain silent lends some credence to the generalisation.

So just don't do internal analytics. Or, if you feel you must, ask consent first. Easy peasy.

Then don't do business with EU citizens/residents.

>...what tesla is seeing internally, vs "public expectation" what tesla is telling the press.

If TSLA's 'private expectation' don't match what they're targeting, then Musk will be going to jail. The SEC doesn't mess around with that type of securities fraud.

> ...no problems with the bond/credit markets.

That's simply not true. Their last bond issuance was well into junk bond territory, its unlikely they could issue another round without entering into insolvency.

Tesla's only option, should they need cash, is to issue more equity, which has its own set of problems.

In other words, one of the least respected books in modern historical scholarship.

Plenty of humans can read formal mathematical notation just fine.

Left-libertarians definitely find property law coercive.

The futures are cash settled, none of the futures exchanges need to own any bitcoin at all.

Regarding penny stocks, this does happen all the time, although its expressly illegal (look up boiler room scams).

That's because the actual ones can't make that time.

The vast majority of people killed in Syria were not terrorists.

Except that they use wildly different accounting practices than the rest of the industry to make their numbers look better. For example, they don't include the cost of R&D (like every other manufacturer does), and they use retail price instead of wholesale price when calculating margin.

If you use the correct numbers, their margins are significantly lower than the rest of the industry.

Note that Tesla has not offered an explicit license for those patents, so there's no guarantee that companies using the patents won't get sued. It was a pure PR stunt.

Then you might never get it back.

And blind corners, and police directing traffic.

Penal labor is coerced, unpaid labor which is by definition slavery.

What you're referring to is chattel slavery.

The 13th Amendment explicitly legalises slavery as the punishment for a crime, and its used all the time.
