    Heard today they are still 'negotiating' with possible investors. let's hope for success.

    SpaceX investor's thread

    As a SpaceX investor, I hope so. Creates a tool in the toolbelt that did not exist up to now if non-employee investors have an avenue to liquidation. In my case, it would likely be partial - sell 10% of my SpaceX holdings - but it would be welcome.

    Staged, but fun for a long weekend!

    SpaceX investor's thread

    Interesting. I wonder if that will be the company buying back from employees to create their payout, or buying back from the private equity investors of the last 10 years who may also be interested in a cash out.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Same bet as 5 years ago, just the 'unproven technology' has shifted.

    I think I see a way through this: FSV. Full Self Voting. In the app, you authorize the company to vote your shares. No talk of yoke, stalks, LIDAR, comp packages, etc. Simply, do you believe? I still hear the bells...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Over a decade ago, Tesla used to include the following in their job postings: “You must have a passion for engineering electric vehicles. Without passion, you would find what we are doing too difficult. There are easier jobs.” I wonder if it's still there or if the last decade has anesthetized...

    Of course, but if the deal were completely done I'm not sure he goes. I'm betting he rode in the car, FSD in control, cool as a space cucumber. And also, he's probably one of 10, or 2, that even get the deal started. He goes, he pushes it over the edge, here we are +$25/share. We all want more...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Back when I bought TSLA for $30-$45/share in the 2012-13 timeframe, if it had made an equivalent jump in Market Cap as today, it would have gone up $386/share (courtesy of 5x and 3x splits). I've spent most of it on the photo in my profile, but there is a little left and it's good to see in...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Perhaps this weekend will be seen as a turning point where Elon goes back to being perceived as a huge asset for Tesla and TSLA rather than the recent US, X-based narratives depicting him as a liability. There are less than 10 CEOs in the world, perhaps less than 2, who could go do what he did...

    Glad I didn't invest in that around April 8.

    Still flapping their wings, though the stories of 'coming soon' have all sounded the same for months. https://www.sacurrent.com/news/san-antonio-startup-delorean-says-its-still-in-operation-despite-quietly-moving-offices-34369547...

    I see them on Forge, though they do not appear to be actively selling at present.

    SpaceX investor's thread

    I'm in SpaceX under terms similar to these, have been for 3+ years. I asked if I could pay for the fees in cash rather than shares...no.
