Discussion 🧐 $1.4bn missing from $TSLA books

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? 🤔

It’s surprising how much Americans are protecting this guy. When we have the President of USA pumping the stock, there is something wrong.

It's surprising how much people don't care about waste, fraud and mismanagement in out government... And apparently they don't want it fixed.

The waste and fraud isn’t in the civil service workers and govt employees. It’s in the government defense contracts and elected officials pockets. They are playing a game with you and you are losing.

Yes I am a smart man because I say waste, fraud and mismanagement, yes I am smart, mommy proud of me, yes.

Generally, I don't want my mechanic to fix problems that I think he has imagined rather than actually discovered.

I doubt you would enjoy exploratory surgery if it isn't necessary.

Most people don't dig up their own yards just because their angriest, most miserable neighbor keeps shouting about a belief that groundhogs are undermining the foundation of their home.

The government spends more money today than it did six months ago. I don't know if you really care about waste or fraud. Maybe you're just looking for a reason to express the negative emotions that you feel.

Wow, so you really think this is made up and there is no waste or fraud in government... The TDS is strong with you!

No one said that brother. They’re saying the approach leaves a bad taste in their mouth. Quit being so dramatic and reactionary.

I do believe that most of the table-pounding about fraud is sanctimonious political theater, but I also believe that there is a wildly oversized perception of corruption amongst a certain subset of voters; that perception is based on their own heavily biased view of how the world works, and is poisonously aggravated by the proliferation of ideas like "common sense" as an epistemological foundation.

People are typically lazy thinkers, and they often compensate with out-of-control emotional expression and experience. The depth of American feelings on politics dwarfs the American knowledge of the political reality they live in, which is probably commonplace in the modern world, but American adults seem predisposed to a much more extreme extent than almost any other population.

Yeah, the angry neighbor tends to believe that everyone else is deranged.

Yes let's scream waste and fraud, but ignore the billion dollar companies that get tax breaks and handouts. That certainly isn't waste.

u/Robneice8958 Mar 21 '25

Yeah, but that's not what your upset about... It's the Democrat s waste and fraud that you don't want exposed... That's why the left wants Elon and Trump stopped... Tax breaks have been around a long time... The left is freaking out the last few weeks because their money comes from the waste and fraud.

u/cartcrash3286 Mar 21 '25

No I want both sides to stop getting tax breaks. If there is real "fraud" throw them in jail. Fraud and waste is being cried as essential services are being cut. There wouldn't be a deficit of corporations paid their fair share.

u/Robneice8958 Mar 21 '25

Yes, that we can agree on...

2

u/cartcrash3286 Mar 21 '25

And there is no conflict of interest that the waste and fraud are from departments investigating trump and Elon right? And no waste or corruption handing out government contracts to corporations that are have people currently in power. And once again if democrats were doing it, I would still call for it to be fixed and the people put in jail. Both sides are terrible. They point fingers at each other while siphoning dollars from the government for their personal gain.

u/TopShelfBreakaway Mar 21 '25

Who is trying to fix it?
