Tesla is still worth more than it was 6 months ago. I don't think a margin call based on borrowing a few years ago is likely.

When is the first earnings call after everyone realized Musk was a Nazi?

Q1 sales call.

I was trying to stay apolitical but a CEO doing Nazi salute and not being fired is uncharted waters, at least in the last 80-85 years.

I keep going back to the horsemeat episodes on mad men, and the papa johns CEO getting booted. This is simply unprecedented in brand management. Brands take decades to build, and are especially important for car companies.

People tend to only look at the drop from January until now, but if you look back a little further it seems clear that the market was expecting some payout from Musks relationship to Trump. When that's didn't really amounted to anything, the stock price just dropped down to it's September 2024 level and continued from there, as if October - January didn't happen.

What surprises me is that the drop in sales numbers seems to have zero effect on the stock price, at least not yet.

The earnings call for Q1 2025 hasn't happened yet. Those usually happen at the end of the first month of the subsequent quarter.
