Tesla Stock is back up from 217 to 250. How?! We were on such a great downward trend. in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Even if tesla's sales tank and their profits turn into heavy losses, they can still be valued more than all the other automotive companies. The excuse could be because "tesla is more than just an automotive company" but after a decade of not delivering on full self-driving like promised, you'd think investors would understand that musk is full of it.

Stock price has nothing to do with reality. Even when the stock price goes up or down coinciding with profits going up and down, it's just that -- a coincidence. Many times you'll see amazing earnings and the stock will drop because "it's priced in" (it's always priced in except when it's not) or "future outlook didn't look good" (unlike the amazing outlook of tesla which is promising robots and robotaxis and other vaporware).

Their Q1 earnings report comes out next month, so that'll be interesting at least. Don't expect market reactions to be logical. It may seem to go up or down appropriately, but the primary mover is not reality.

Iran's President to Trump: I will not negotiate, 'do whatever the hell you want' in c/[email protected]

Trump doesn't even negotiate in good faith with the US's allies, it's even worse for a country like Iran. Why the hell should Iran negotiate with this clown? They're making the right call here.

Talent [Three Panel Soul] in c/[email protected]

"Talent" could also be an affinity for practicing that skill. I don't think I'm exceptional at programming, but I got good at it because I enjoyed it and that was enough to drive me to develop that skill. There are other skills I didn't develop as much because I didn't feel as driven to pursue them.

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!
