In the coming years, expect to hear more stories about how divorced from reality TSLA holders have been, and how they're going to feel "lied to", etc.

These people have been so invested in what can only be described as a "meme stock", that they've made up entire realities to support the narrative that they can convert their TSLA shares into actual gold bars at the drop of a hat.

They will even argue with you that their market cap being more than every other automotive manufacturer combined is justified somehow. Because TSLA is really an "energy play".

The sudden stop at the end of their long fall will be quite painful. I wish we could capture video of every single shareholders moment of realization when that moment arrives somehow, but we'll just have to settle for the favor that everyone who drives a new TSLA is a nazi supporting fascist who may as well have painted a swastika on their car to let everyone know they're nazi supporting fascists. It's a small favor they did us, but a favor none the less.
