I'm starting this thread because the mods are displeased with numerology posts on the roundtable. Most of this came from the internet except three I came up with myself. You can find this on Twitter; I didn't feel like cluttering this post with sources.

I think this 12/9 thing is looking like something is legitimately going on.

Evidence:

To start with, let's consider the background. On 5/1/2020, Elon tweeted "Stock price too high IMO" at 8:11 p.m. PST. Tesla subsequently announced a 5 to 1 split on 8/11/2020, which establishes a potential precedent. Also, we know that Elon is a geeky troll who does not respect the SEC. A stream of cryptic tweets that only fans would believe to announce big news in advance while providing plausible deniability if the SEC tried to take this to court would be right in character for him.

The share price recently has been a bit over $1000 which is near the price at which the last stock split occurred.

On 11/4/2021, TSLA hit an intraday all-time high of $1243. If this were to increase 69% and go through a 5:1 split, the resulting share price would be $420. This part is probably a freak coincidence because Elon doesn't actually control the stock price and if he had been planning in advance to have something happen on 12/9 it's not like he could just intentionally make it go to $1243 in early November. But let's add it on to the pile because it's rather remarkable and fits neatly into the overall picture.

On 11/6/2021, Elon tweeted:
Note that the post time was 1:05 p.m. PST and the dice show a one on top and two and three on the sides.
2 + 3 = 5
1:5
The fact that there are two dice could signify that a second split could be coming.

On 11/13/21, Elon tweeted about the 129th orbital flight of Falcon 9. Strange milestone.

On 11/14/21, Elon tweeted "Due to inflation, 420 has gone up by 69."
  • 420 + 69 = 489 --> 4 + 8 = 12, which gives 12 followed by 9
  • 4 + 2 + 0 + 6 = 12 with a 9 left over

On 11/16/21, Elon tweeted about the 12 million pounds of thrust produced by a Falcon 9, as the caption for a picture of the nine boosters. Post time was 7:20 p.m. PST, which is 4:20 a.m. in Berlin.

Over that same week as these tweets came out, Elon sold tranches of varying amounts of stock, except for three of them all being 934091 shares.

To the default number of decimal places an iPhone calculator gives, 12092021 / 934091 = 12.945228
4 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 21
12, 9 and 21 in sequence again.

To the full number of decimal places for an iPhone, the result is 12.94522803452769
  • Last two digits are 69
  • On 11/8, Elon had made two tweets, one saying quote "Nothing matters" and a self-reply at 11:34 saying "(zero is a cool concept)". In the string of digits above, if we add up all the digits after 12.9 but count the 8 and 0 as 80, the sum is 129.
  • The digits following the 0 are 34, same as the number of minutes after the hour in the tweet about zero.
  • 80 = 4 * 20
  • Now, if we add up all the digits in the entire number 1+2+9+4+5+2+2+8+0+3+4+5+2+7+6+9 = 69
  • If we add them up as duples and move the first 9 to the end: 12+45+22+80+34+52+76+99 = 420
  • In a bit more of a stretch, if we add the 12 to all the other digits written as duples in reverse we get the same result: 12 + (96+72+54+30+82+25+49) = 420
On 11/18 at 12:09 a.m. PST (suspicious timing), Elon tweeted " 'We are choked with news and starved of history' – Durant", which comes from a book that was published on 12/9/2014.

12 + 9 + 21 = 42. This is also one of Elon's favorite numbers, and it comes from his favorite book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the supercomputer Hal provides 42 as the answer for the ultimate meaning of life and everything, suggesting that the hard part is coming up with the right question in the first place.

12/9 is International Anti-corruption Day. He has been tweeting a lot about political and Union corruption lately.

Note also that the tweets were not cherry-picked to fit this narrative. Rather, they comprise all of the strange out-of-the-blue tweets he has made in the last 2 weeks.

Finally, way back on 6/29/2021, Elon liked this tweet from Billboard charts with "5-1" in it.
6 x 2 = 12
12 9 2021 again.

So, something might happen on 12/9.

21 days to go.

The holidays might be explosive.

  1. Either this is the most incredible collection of coincidences I've ever seen in my entire life, or Elon / someone who knows is incredibly good at solving number theory problems to find a number of shares to sell that satisfies all these conditions.
  2. I may need some 420 myself to wrap my head around this 🤨🤯😏
  3. If this is all Galaxy brain level trolling of the SEC 2018 legal agreement with no legal consequences, all I can say is "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froide"

Dang - the mods *really* have a beef against numerology in the main thread! I just posted the tweet Elon's responded to - with barely a comment and POOF ! , wiped by the mods without even a notification. My original post recreated:

New denial of 12.9 rumored split by Elon's GPT-3 emulator (extracted from WholeMars' Tweet below with Elon's emoji response):

Which importantly Elon acknowledged:
 
Few more things.

The plan Elon used to sell his options for the tranches of 934091 shares was a "10b5-1" according to Gary Black. This indicates that the timing and number of shares for each of those sales was predetermined. Note also the "5-1".

Also, the prime factorization of 934091 is 229 x 4079. I finally found someone with an explanation for it.

3088047 also has a simple prime factorization: 3 x 1029349.
10 + 2 = 12
12 then 9 again.
3 x 4 = 12, then another 9.
12 then 9 again!

Likewise, 639737 has a simple prime factorization: 7 x 59 x 1549
7 + 5 = 12
Yet another 12 then 9!!
Also 59 + 1 + 5 + 4 = 69!

The human brain is remarkably skilled at finding patterns when its looking for them. The patterns are always there if you're looking hard enough.
Thing is, we're not looking that hard except for a couple of these, and the same simple patterns are showing up in ALL of his weird tweets since 11/6. And many of these are massively unlikely coincidences. The odds of this many of them all happening randomly in a two week period is negligible.

I mean, let's just look at the tweet about news that was posted at 12:09. Elon is awake probably over 1000 minutes on the average day and he tweets at all kinds of times. And the book was published 12/9.

Or taking the prime factorization examples, I tried to reproduce similar results for several other 6- and 7-digit numbers and failed to find any way to connect their prime factors to 12/9/21, 42, 69 or 420.

If we want to calculate the likelihood of the rest of coincidences being random we could, but I don't think that's necessary.
