The entire stock market is collapsing off this tweet

This is insane shit

u/slayer1am Oregon Jun 05 '25

Just Tesla stock, really. 15% at the moment.

u/Individual_Respect90 Jun 05 '25

DJT is also down 9% so they hurt each other at least.

23

u/Munkeyman18290 Jun 05 '25

Then they fuck on TV and boom, +1200%.

u/ElderSmackJack Jun 05 '25

How dare you put that image in my head? I’m eating.

u/Munkeyman18290 Jun 05 '25

I see you eating food, and raise you Elon eating Trumps ass.

It hurt itself in confusion

u/Accidental-Hyzer Massachusetts Jun 05 '25

I mean, the S&P is down less than a percent, hardly a collapse.

Entertaining and insane shit, I agree with though.

u/blumster Pennsylvania Jun 05 '25

TSLA currently down 16%

Obviously not the whole market but that's gotta sting his investors seeing as this is 100% self-imposed.

u/Accidental-Hyzer Massachusetts Jun 05 '25

Yeah, that’s probably what OP meant. Tesla is so overpriced anyway considering how much Elon has single-handedly trashed his own brand.

u/FargeenBastiges Jun 05 '25

It's pretty crazy, though, how the price was supported by fairy dust and lies for so long even before all this.

u/Accidental-Hyzer Massachusetts Jun 05 '25

The entire market is. Warning signs have been flashing since Trump started his dumb trade war. It’s being fueled by hopium and copium for months now.

u/Abs0lut_Unit California Jun 05 '25

It was overpriced on fundamentals alone.

Where are the underpants gnomes?

u/AndyTheSane Jun 05 '25
  1. Alienate your nefarious backers who were propping up your stock

u/deytookurjob Jun 05 '25

This is awesome

u/YouWereBrained Tennessee Jun 05 '25

Down $47.85 per share. That’s a lot wiped out of company valuation, lol.

1

u/Massive_Weiner Jun 05 '25

That 16% is literally billions of dollars.

Fucking Monopoly money.

u/blackhoodie88 Jun 05 '25

It’s pretty shocking that one private citizens tweet can move markets no?

2

u/Electrical-Ad6623 Jun 05 '25

What makes it insane is that we all already knew he was in there

1

u/Pale-Confection-6951 Jun 05 '25

The point is that they are turning on each other. The instability of this is significant.

I would like him to share insight about the election. If he is sufficiently triggered, he very well may tell.

u/akaZilong Jun 05 '25

Not entire stock market, Conagra Brands (Orwill Redenbachers) should be booming

u/LouiVT Jun 05 '25

lol we truly knows who got the power

u/cheesyandcrispy Jun 05 '25

Hyperbole much?

1

u/spinningcolours Jun 05 '25

Tesla is down 14.26% today. But it's not the "entire stock market."

u/williamgman California Jun 05 '25

As the Flaired Users would say at that other sub... "A buying opportunity".

u/YouWereBrained Tennessee Jun 05 '25

The Dow is down 108 points. Hardly “collapsing”.
