Slightly off subject: I recall many years back having a conversation with you about John Williams' Shadowstats. Ring a bell?
You may be interested to know that a childhood friend of mine went on to work for the Bureau of Labor Statistics where he now manages a team that works on the CPI series. He asserts, confidently, that the numbers aren't cooked. And his team is aware of Shadowstats and regards it to be nothing more than an arbitrary linear adjustment to their own data.
Not trying to make a point, just thought you might find that interesting, as I did.
Elon seems to be a front man for certain global operations (satellites, EV pieces of crap, certain aspects of media gaslighting), strongly financed by unknown resources since he started his side show. Moving money on the Stock Market seems to be another role for his farce.
As for the reason why he fled to TX, the CA tax system should suffice, but I tend to think he also knew about the upcoming water/energy shortage and the riots.
When writing, you never know if people will think something is funny ... And probably some do, and some don't. So, let me compliment you on having a GREAT sense of humor !
Seems Elon beat me to the punch ...
Sold 7 Billion $ of Tesla stock on 05 Aug.
In the past year he has sold over 32 B$ worth of stock ...
Well, only 3% of Tesla Market Cap ...
or 3/4 of Ford's Market Cap !
I never said he wasn't smart !

Yep, Elon sure went Off-Narrative today 03 Oct '22 calling for Peace, rather than for War, in Ukraine:

Go Elon !
Yep, never said he was stupid!
Elon:
“Realistically, we do need to use oil and gas in the short term because otherwise civilization will crumble,” he said.
“In order for civilization to continue to function, we do need oil and gas,” he continued, adding that “any reasonable person would conclude that.”

Haven't laughed so much since way back when.
Great Substack.

As long as you stay away from the East Coast, people are likely to be able to figure out if you are saying something funny! :)
You Racist ! Seriously, I though you would have said West Coast !

The stupid valuation of TSLA has always kept me out it. Thinking as soon as I buy, reality will monkey hammer the stock.
I'm short and losing money hand over fist ... but if I can stay liquid longer than the market can stay irrational ... I know, Big If !
This post inspired me to elaborate a bit and to invite further ideas!

Funny Video --
That video HAD to be staged !
And I didn't even get to the Tesla's predeliction for hitting motorycles! :)
"Covid 1984". Can I slip that into my scintillating conversation please Tim.
Of course. I probably stole it from someone else !
I was using Short-Hand ... I can't every time write:
MSM Hyped-Hysteria CoVid-1984 Mass Psychosis Fear Pandemic ...
Just like Malone is posing as the "inventor" of mRNA, while it is Soviet tech from the early 1980s...
Love reading your blog, Tim. Keep at.
