Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not sure saying the company is failing is accurate. Their stock is up 10% today on their news. That's a bonkers one say jump for a company this big.
I agree they aren't "failing" yet. But let's put their price in proper context ..
That is a 10%-12% after hours pump. All institutional sellers needed to do was lift any orders they had pinning the price down. While the price could skyrocket tomorrow morning, I think it's more likely to get more attraction from people wanting to cut their losses. If I had millions in stock, I would want to buffer that price range with orders from people who think after hours prices mean something.
Also, it'll take more than that little bump to improve it's overall price:
Oh I totally agree and I'm not saying this single day is the biggest day of tesla. Just that this news isn't singling the end either. But over all, the stock price has done stupidly well. 800% increase in 5 years for a company this size. Absolutely wild, in any context. I have no money in it and don't plan to, nor will I buy a car from them just to make it clear I'm not a fan boy.
Would you have called GameStop a thriving company before GME? Stock market and reality do not always align.
Would I call GME a thriving stock before the hype? I do think their stock price was a little undervalued before the hype, and I think it's a little over valued now. I certainly agree stock price is not always 1:1 of a company's health, but it is a fantastic indication for outsiders. But to say telsa is failing because of this news I think is incorrect. Also, to say their stock is doing poorly by any metric I would also say is incorrect. I'm no Wallstreet broker though.
GameStop is a dying company. All I've seen in my life are more and more GameStop shops closing down around me.
Fair enough. If you really are that confident then buy some short positions and rake in the cash! I'm done playing those games as it's too volitile and I'm too bad lol mutual funds for me because I can admit I can't see the future of companies
The whole point is that the market's irrational, why would I buy shorts and basically gamble away my money? The literal point of this thread chain is that the stock value is disconnected from real-world practicality.
That's my point with my last comment. It would be gambling because no one can really tell where the company is going. People say they know company X will go up or down but never put their money where their mouth is. If a company fails, the stock will go down. If the company does well, the stock will go up. Absolutely the relationship between company health and stock valuation is a bit blurred, but they are clearly closely related.
