Not sure if it's adequate to list Tesla next to the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq as if they were equally important for the economic situation of the country. Tesla historically skyrocketed and plummeted several times. It's more a meme stock IMHO than a representative indicator of stability.

Walz has been specifically mocking Tesla's stock plummet these past few months. Hes not saying they are equally important, hes just using this to taunt Musk.
A 1 day 10% drop is a gut punch worth mentioning. Being a meme stock means that the only thing holding it up is the idea that it will always go up. When the meme fades and it has to compete on fundamentals, a car company missing sales targets by 13% in one quarter ain't gonna do it.
Thanks for clarification. Still, looking at the Tesla chart similar upward/downward movements happed several times. It doesn't appear that special to me for that stock.
And yes, Tesla is not the same category of meme Stock as Gamestop. Still, compared to other stocks, the development of the share value is far less dependend on the operative success of the company. It feels more like a Musk stock that's influenced by news and tweets around his person going back and forth between hype and desaster.
It's a little special. The CEO of GameStop didn't turn every rational thinking person against him.
The only people still supporting Elon cant afford his car. So they can buy the stock just to have the stock, but that wont be enough to save things for them.
People will stop buying Teslas. If not anything else, they will stop buying Teslas because they are tired of buying new Windows.

He needs to run for president. He's your dad without the fox news brain rot
aoc and tim walz <3
Tim Walz as President, AOC as Vice President would be a great combination and would give a clear path to the future.
white misogynists suck so bad because we could have had four years of a great economy and dad jokes by tim walz along with the entire walz family in the white house. :(
This narrative needs to die. Harris retained more male Biden voters than female Biden voters. The DNC forced a candidate through again—a candidate, mind you, that couldn’t even get traction in the last primary—without letting us choose them, they bungled the entire Biden situation by hiding his declining faculties, and when they choose their candidate for us to swallow? They add a heaping dose of the fucking cheneys as if that’s going to help their cause. They once again keep shifting to the right instead of listening to the massive calls for more progressive policies, and then when they fucked it up so royally they couldn’t beat the most unpopular president in history who was outright saying he was going to be a dictator, they go on the news and say it’s because they were “too progressive.” Not to mention the massively undercounted and overlooked Palestine issue that turned off so many voters. And then they have the gall to say it was because of misogyny. Gtfoh
shifting to the right instead of listening to the massive calls for more progressive policies
My thought is that the center-right Democrats that hold power in the federal government saw what happened to the center-right Republicans when MAGA took over, the centrist lost power to the more right leaning politicians. If the centrist Democrats do the same they will lose power as well. So their strategy has been to ignore and undermine the more left leaning policies and candidates so they can stay in power longer.

Please provide an archived link.
Thanks for doing that. I hate these border line ones. It's for the troll baiting or maybe they said it and maybe they didn't say it situations. This post is none of that, which is why I didn't take it down.

I can't get past verification. it just says wait for 0 seconds which I'm pretty sure I did.
am I a bot? is this how I'm finding out, Deckard, you son of a bitch
What is most unbelievable about it is that none of the House or Senate members are even flinching to impeach him
O thought there were freezes for these event's. Pretty sure we had 2 during 45.
S&P500 needs to drop at least 7% to halt things for 15 mins. It only drops 5 yesterday
There's always next week

One of those four things is not like the other things ...
Only thing is the stock market shouldn’t equal the economy. Many people suffered and continued to suffer during the rise of this asset bubble.
Haven’t seen a campaign so shitty since hilary lost against trump.
"Yeah, terrible campaign, glad I stayed home and didn't vote.
That'll show them all not to make politics entertaining like I'm an inbred incel child!!!"

Is this the same Tim Walz that has declared war on the unions in his state?
Fuck him
You're going to have to give a source. Because everything I see shows he's pro-union and unions love him. Plus his state is one of the best for workers rights.
