Co-President Elon Musk & His Tesla Stock Pumpers

The John Johnston Lounge ·

2024/11/13

I react to some of the many Tesla stock promoters or pumpers, after the recent Tesla stock price jump following the US election, in which Elon helped Trump become the US President. Will Elon be able to put his “thumb on the scale” to help Tesla, SpaceX and his other companies during the next four years? The Tesla stock pumpers think so, and are pretty optimistic about the near and long term future for Tesla and Tesla stock. Related episodes: Elon Musk Tesla Accused of Deceptive Marketing of FSD

After Tesla has sold only about 40,000 Cybertrucks in the US so far, is the Cybertruck already running out of buyers? JJ investigates the evidence for this. Elon Musk had big plans for the Cybertruck, hoping to sell 250,000 per year, and at a much cheaper price than they are.
