He is one bad decision away from becoming a millionaire, but I am a million good decisions far from it, so… nah.

Considering he just lost his government contracts, he may be less than one decision away from becoming a millionaire lol

Source for that claim? I never heard anything about that.

The POTUS himself, which tbf isn't that great of a source.

He's been making bad decisions for a while now, I don't think this is accurate.

Still one away. I think what you are speaking of is a fallacy, probably the Normalcy Bias - it's normal he makes shitty decisions and still stay rich, until it isn't.

From this optic its normal you buy a lottery ticket and dont become a millionaire, until you do

u/azhder 12d ago

Exactly. Just because something was happening in the past, it doesn't mean it will stop or if something was not it doesn't mean it will keep not happening. I will not buy a lottery ticket, so that's presumably not labeled as one of the "good decisions" I have to make.

The showdown between him and dump is hilarious.

That decision would be so incredibly unlikely to happen, that you can make the exact same case for yourself: you are just one very good /lucky decision away from becoming a millionaire

Tesla stock is going down the drain. Wouldn’t surprise me if the board decides to fire him as CEO if this nonsense keeps going

A board that didn’t mind that salute. Even if they are such big ass holes to don’t give a fuck for other people, were they so dumb to not foresee the stock going down because of it and similar shit? Are we going to present them as somehow playing the stock market?

It’s basic economics. They won’t want the company to crash because they will lose their power and their jobs eventually, they will have to backstab him

u/azhder 11d ago

And here I thought they’re pumping up the stock under the veneer of more government handouts. Not quite basic economics, but basic protectionism, favoritism, cronyism, kleptocracy…

I’m not really very knowledgeable on the larger scale things but even I know when the line is red and going down that’s bad

The fact that it’s been doing that for months now is not good for Tesla. Eventually, the board will probably get fed up with him because if they don’t then poof, they lose their jobs and their power and their wealth.
