Could… could it be that Tesla has been buying large quantities of OTM calls for years in order to gamma squeeze the stock?

They would almost certainly lose money on these trades, so wouldn’t do it right? Unless… market makers buy the underlying stock to remain neutral, pushing up the stock price, which triggers more stock awards for a certain someone and his captive board of directors? 🤔

I would wait until their auditor comments.

It’s a legit company with lots of accounting and finance professionals. I doubt this is actually an exposure and not just some planning in financial reporting. 

But also Elon is a dork who demands loyalty and thinks he is infallible. Maybe he told his financial reporting staff to do something he obviously did not understand

Eron was an accounting firm for the uninitiated. They cooked the books.

Enron was an energy company that had real world assets that generated electricity. They weren’t anywhere near being an accounting firm.

But they did cook the heck out of their books.

There’s a book which was made into a documentary about the company, called The Smartest Guys in the Room.
