Tesla stock was at $144 a year ago and is at $253 today. 5 years ago it was at $47. With income at $0.12 per share it is not like any of those are even close to reality. However they are what needs to fall to kill the Elon.

So it creates a bubble and when it pops it hurts badly. After decades of growth those bubbles probably are nasty.

Is Trump working on Making America Great Again, by turning it into a European colony again? A massive trade war with China, is obviously going to hurt both countries and Europe is the largest economy left.
