I regret that Tesla doesn't make trucks, so i can replace my fleet with Tesla's; I'd buy 120 of them tomorrow if they made one.

While there is certainly a lot of crap out there for business books, especially on sales/marketing and management, there are some core books that are must reads if you want to save 30 years of trial and error.

1. E-myth Revisited (absolute must read for small to midsize business owners) 2. Competitive Strategy 3. Discipline of Market Leaders 4. Good to Great 5. Built to Last

This is a political story about govermental issues and initiates a back and forth discussion between liberal and conservative idealogies.

Definitely NOT a technology topic.

should be flagged.

BYD has overtaken Tesla technically but isn't allowed in the US due to anti-competitive, pseudo-nativist protectionism (and also a lack of homologation which doesn't make financial sense because of the previous point.)

"homologation" ...thanks for teaching me a new word that nobody would understand if i ever used it.

Elon lied and said he had funding secured to take tesla private.

SEC came in and got a settlement from tesla because it was a crime.

This in late 2018 however changed the situation greatly at tesla. Shortly after this, yes the model Y and Cybertruck eventually happened but tesla really slowed down. Not well known, but essentially the usa government took control of tesla after this. The government even voided his compensation as being ceo. Essentially forcing him to work for free.

If I look at Tesla's financials right now.

12.87% % of Shares Held by All Insider

But "all insider" isn't just Elon himself. That's all the peoples at the top.

You might imagine that Tesla is basically on autopilot now. Elon doesnt even own that much of tesla anymore. Doesnt really direct it much anymore. Far more interest in other private interests like spacex.

Then you have political movements of domestic terrorists firebombing and vandalizing teslas that have nothing at all to do with elon or tesla.

Tesla is in bad shape.

Nothing in your post has anything to do with the fundamentals of Tesla's business. You are just echoing the anti-elon propoganda. The anti-Elon movement is a moment in time that will not affect the longterm viability of Tesla's business model.

Like it or not, Tesla as a company is still years ahead of other US competitors and has a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Tesla is not "in bad shape" relative to the competition. IF you are going to talk about auto companies in "bad shape", Tesla doesn't even make the top 10

i refuse read the biased news from CNN or FOX or MSNBC

However, I've read countless Bloomberg articles on Tesla, and the company has significant competitive advantage over every automaker (Including BYD) when it comes to manufacturing and selling EV's in the US and elsewhere.

If you are inclined to drive an EV, or own stock in an EV company, Tesla is still the gold standard.

California farming is a major resource for US food and should be protected as a national security issue. Why haven't previous administrations implemented this apparently simple fix?
