Considering the pickup EV has been an enormous commercial flop, only selling barely a fraction of Musk’s promised 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertrucks a year, there’s a good chance Tesla is using the mercurial CEO’s other venture to boost the numbers ahead of the end of an otherwise disastrous year.

Pretty sure this is illegal, you know, using one company to prop up another (the old “Enron” method)

Wish the US still I don’t know, had laws and whatnot

    Its shakey, but might be in the clear because SpaceX is still private and can do whatever it likes. If they went public too, then there would be a problem I think

    If the US tries to enforce laws against Elon, he'll go on Twitter and starting calling for the break up of the United States like he did for the EU when they decided to enforce their laws

    They can’t buy enough of these to weigh the collapsing market for them. They’ll be less than $50k.

    They will a hundred percent buy them at full price, in a big money transfer from space x to Tesla so muck can get his trillion dollar payday that was voted in
