Summary

A suspect vandalized and set fire to Teslas at a Las Vegas Collision Center early Tuesday in what police call a "targeted attack."

The assailant, dressed in black, shot at five vehicles, torched two, and left an undetonated Molotov cocktail. They also spray-painted "Resist" on the building.

Authorities have not confirmed a political motive but noted Elon Musk’s ties to Trump. The FBI is investigating, warning that such acts are federal crimes.

Tesla has faced backlash amid Musk’s government role and far-right politics.

Hey do me a favor let me know where I said Tesla was properly valued?

Are you slow, or something? This entire thread started because you were whining about people being hurt by Tesla losing money. Then, when I pointed out that it's a bloated piece of shit and cited a valuation that was in the right ballpark, you said: "I don’t think you understand how valuations work".

So, were you lying then, or are you lying now as you're pretending that you agreed with me the entire time that Tesla is overvalued?

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Me slow... I read all the words. Hence you can't find anywhere I said Tesla was properly valued. I wasn't whining about Tesla losing money. I don't care. I said Tesla going to 0 wouldn't hurt musk. You've said nothing to disprove that. Just gone on random rants. Again I never said I didn't think Tesla was over valued. You clearly do and I never disagreed. You clearly need to read.

Also your valuation is still wrong hahaha. You thinking Tesla should be $12 and being able to prove that out with a fact pattern are two different things. I'm assuming here but I'm guessing you've need read a financial report, never done a dcf, have no idea how to model an investment and don't know what PE ratios actually means. That can all be true and I can still believe Tesla is overvalued.

Well, you are at least correct about one thing. I was incorrect about the $12 stock price. In my defense, I wasn't looking at the numbers at the time, just spitballing it. But going with the $45.5 bn valuation I mentioned previously, and their 3.5 bn outstanding shares, that would put the price per share at $13. I humbly accept the humiliation that comes with getting a hypothetical stock price incorrect by 8%.

I’m assuming here but I’m guessing you’ve need read a financial report, never done a dcf, have no idea how to model an investment and don’t know what PE ratios actually means.

I mean, I did allude to the fact that I think you might be an idiot before, and since you said that you read everything I wrote, I'll just leave it at that. You're not helping your case by being so hilariously wrong here.

Valuation still wrong. You can't throw random numbers together man. Good job sport nice try though! So smart....... So so smart

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Alright, well, I showed you mine. Let's hear your valuation & rationale. My numbers are all based on the publicly available data. Let's see what you got.

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hahah yep there we go.... You haven't been using publicly available data cause as far as I can see you haven't referenced any number from their financials once. If you want to know what their assets are worth without any fluff go right to their balance sheet and add some numbers from their last audited or quarterly fs. It's so easy even you could do it. It'll give you a ball park. Should take like 10 minutes and you'll actually learn something and you'll be able to argue with random people on the Internet and know what your talking about.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hahah yep there we go… You haven’t been using publicly available data cause as far as I can see you haven’t referenced any number from their financials once

Err... what? I've referenced several numbers from their financials. What the fuck are you talking about?

If you want to know what their assets are worth without any fluff go right to their balance sheet

Uh yeah - I quoted that. Seriously, didn't you say that you read everything I wrote? You couldn't be bothered to skim it before posting this just to make sure you didn't look like a dipshit when you hit reply?

Is this some sort of ploy to salve your ego in advance or something? I mean, Jesus. That's truly pathetic.

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hahaha so pathetic hahahaha. Still doesn't make you right hahaha. If you're referencing numbers from their financials you either can't read or don't know how to add numbers together. It's fine man. I won't judge. So I guess you moved on from arguing with yourself Tesla is over valued. So I guess that something.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Alright, bud. I'd be very interested in seeing what math you do to make the $7 bn net income from FY 2024 (which I mentioned) into something other than $7 bn. Or the $122 bn total assets & equity (which I also mentioned) into something other than $122 bn. Like... what the fuck are you even talking about?

Jeez the cursing and the insults ooo gosh I'll never be able to recover. The super smart man on the Internet made fun of me hahahahahah.

Still haven't gotten a copy of the financials which breaks things out. So that would be a problem. After you find them you'll have to add up some numbers. You might need a super computer for that hahahah.

I haven't laughed so much in so long. People getting so irrationally angry. So thank you for that. Honestly

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't... I really don't understand what's happening here. Are you pretending to be stupid to troll me or something? Is this how you get your jollies? By pretending to have a room temperature IQ to strangers online? Is it some weird kind of kink or something? Bro... are you using me to get your rocks off? Not fucking cool, man. You don't just drag strangers into your kink. I did not consent to that shit. Go do your whole humiliation fetish thing somewhere else.

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

Again with the insults. It's just a few numbers. All you have to do is add them. Can he do it? I don't think so but people are rooting for you.

We're all amused because you're so confidentialy wrong and the answer is sooo simple.

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

Also for transparency sake we have a bet going on in my office if you can get the right number. You've made everyone's day here. So I can't give you anymore hints.
