He's handing it over to the people. Vox Populi Vox Dei. They will be unbanned shortly, as they should.

> Telsa stock tanking all because he can't STFU and acts like a spoiled 12 year old.

Uh, the whole stock market is down. Amazon is down almost as much as Tesla. 48% vs 50%.

Musk actually ran a poll already, but the people got the wrong answer (unban now). So he's running another poll.

> Sorry, too many options. Will redo poll.

The previous poll was bad because 3x of them were basically "No" and 1x was "Yes"

New poll is heavily leaning yes regardless

In his new poll the majority are saying to unban the accounts now:

The new poll also has a 24 hour timer, so 'now' is effectively a 1 day ban. I kind of suspect the length of time has other motivations (but that's really just me being cynical).

In the last three months, VTI (total US cap weighted market) is +0.15%, TSLA is -48.02%.

Are you secretly deliberately making a bad argument?

No that's a fair criticism since it says "Now"

This is 2022 Twitter-brained audience, now doesn't mean 24hrs these days.

It's the opposite. In that first poll 52.5% of people voted for a 7 day ban or longer.

The new poll with just two options is going the other way (unsuspend now). Having just two options is the right call here.

Are you? AMZN is -48%, TSLA -50%, ZOOM -61%, META -65%, NVDA -40%, GOOG -37%.

To pretend that TSLA is an outlier is a bad argument.

In the last 6 months Tesla is down over 25%. Ford and GM are up 15-20% over the same time period. They're a lot closer to Tesla than Meta or Zoom is.

You cherry picked stocks that went down and try to make that into argument.

That is what people are doing with TSLA. Cherry picking one of many tech stocks that went down and trying to attribute to something other than macroeconomic factors.

All tech stocks took a dive.

Tesla isn't a tech stock. They sell cars.

Correct. It’s a memestock. Also, I didn’t cherry pick anything, I compared tesla to the entire US market.

amzn and zoom were the kings of the hill during COVID shutdowns, it only makes sense that there would be a fall after that rise. Nvidia has been ruined by supply chain shortages and the end of proof-of-work on Eth. Facebook has been on the rocks for years, and the Metaverse has been a complete debacle. The only one in that list imho that could be taken as a general "state of tech stocks" is GOOG, because while GOOG's products are having rocky performance they always are.

Proterra, an EV maker is down 51% YTD. Lucid, an EV maker, is down 52% in the last 6M and 82% YTD.

GM is down 41% YTD. Stocks are funny that way.
