Apple has long been known to be dabbling in car technology, for many years.
They laid off 200 developers in the last year, bought a struggling startup, and assigned a new chief to manage Doug Field in a reshuffle. The project has been on again - off again multiple times. They’ve never shown any urgent sense of mission for cars.
Apple is also pretty careful not to talk about any unannounced products.
Gali Russel just did a YouTube with tidbits from a ‘former team member’. Who talked up lithium titinate batteries as ‘next level’.
Do you think Apple would leak this, to telegraph their plans?
I think not.
Yet it’s all over the headlines in the pay-to-play media.
So who paid for it?
Likewise this Bitcoin nothingburger. Someone tweets ‘hey why don’t you and a bunch of big cap firms buy a bunch of Bitcoin’ Elon says ‘is that even possible?’
Then we see a flood of headlines proclaiming ‘Tesla may do huge Bitcoin buy’.
It’s amazing how this stuff gets made up, on cue. Look at the peculiarly synchronous timing, right after inclusion.
Plausible narratives to spook shareholders.
So we should all dump our shares, since Elon has gone looney with crypto, and the Imperial Apple cruisers will soon lay waste to Tesla’s rebel squadron.
Narratives are generally about opposites.
And they happen when they’re needed, not months before, because they only briefly stay in mind.
If they tell you to sell, it means someone intends to buy - a lot of shares - soon - and they’re pimping for a discount.
There was always that shifty kid in grade school, who, whenever he told you to do something, you knew to do the exact opposite.
There are - ideas, good ideas, ideas to do, and ideas to do now.
At the moment, on that spectrum, this is a ‘good idea’.
Elon broached this idea 4 years ago. He bought the x.com domain.
My guess is he will eventually do it.
But he’ll choose his moment wisely.
He’s likely to let Tesla get much stronger first.
Tesla can serve as the financial bedrock for all the others.
Then bringing in the other capital-intensive growth vehicles will create the right synergy. A fresh injection of blue sky growth opportunity, while Tesla is already riding high.
This will answer the question - ‘where next for more hyper-growth?’
And we TSLA shareholders will all get the benefit of that boost.
Volume was pretty decent for an abbreviated day. See what happens when sellers take a day off? Big closing volume in anticipation of the typical Monday AM bump. That and BMs on tenterhooks over a breakout. Only $20 of breathing room before they miss getting in under $695.

650, 667, 670
None pointing to a new bottom, including Gary Black.
But in fairness to inconel, now that it’s in the 640’s, will it close there, or end lower or higher at day’s end?
More action next week, before year end accounting.
Bottle goes to Dec 31 winner🥃
Depending on how this plays out, we may award it in person.
If the 1K call wins, I suspect we’ll have to drink a few bottles😀

HODL🖖🏽
Although the latter sounds inadvertently more titillating😷
As long as I can buy me some interest in SpaceX...
Outperformed S&P by 6X.
Small deltas, but trending up before a long holiday is a sign of confidence and optimism about next week.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
Certainly feasible.
