Most Over-Valued Company is History

I don't know if there's any relation but elmo is so rich that he could probably prop up the share price by himself if he wanted to, just using money he doesn't need anyway. As a sort of backdoor political donation that doesn't go through the regular channels where such donations are capped.

ETA: To put it more directly: as a bribe, but a legal bribe that you can't prove is a bribe.

i would assume that’s why it’s publicly traded. while there’s a certain amount of value to having a right wing twitter, twitter is right wing twitter.

Now at $24. DJT is a proxy for Trump's election chances. There's been a shift in his favor.

Yeah, I'd been thinking something like that myself - it's following the bookies, who now have Trump at $1-80 to Harris' $2.

I think the pollsters are dead wrong, but time will tell. If the market wakes up early on the 6th and Trump has been crushed, TM shares will drop to $1.

If it goes much higher I might short them myself - there's definitely money to be made from idiots, but you better get the timing right.
 
i agree i think the polls are terribly off. this is the third trump election i've lived through and the enthusiasm is no where to be found. these guys used to drive around with 600 flags on their truck. now it's pretty basic yard signs.

It sure as hell isn't with Trump Media - based on P/E ratio, shares are worth a couple of cents each.

Their earnings are still negative so P/E is not meaningful but to the extent you want to use it the shares are worth nothing.

DJT now at $25. Sheesh.

That's up over 100% since Sept. 23rd. (Closed at $12.18)

Is Wall Street Bets involved?

I still think that Musk is behind it.

ETA: meanwhile Tesla is down over 8% today. That's down over $20 per share

i'd give it a couple of weeks and take a look. musk came out pretty strong for trump recently and this went up with it, and since then he announced he is basically directly campaigning for him at this point. tesla is down immediately after it's hilariously bad robotaxi event. i think there's a world where investors know tesla has turned into theranos but musk can still directly influence the election.

but they'll both do something completely incompetent and stupid within a few weeks. they're like clockwork that way.

Maybe they assume Musk will buy them out and absorb them into X as a favor to Trump. I don't find that scenario entirely implausible.

That's true, I think. The one bloke with the cash who's a big enough douche to hold the price up because he can.
 
$29 even.

Clearly, a lot of MAGAs think Trump is going to win and they'll become as valuable as the NFTs they bought.

I don't think he gave up control of anything while he was President, even though tradition (although not law) said he should.

I think he was required.
The guy owns a chain of privately held hotels.
The US never got to look at Trump’s books.
The Saudis could have said we’re sending a delegation to DC. We will need a whole floor. We don’t know exactly when we are coming so let’s book a whole year. Do you want the $7,000,000 in cash or check?


He’s forbidden from masking money from foreign governments without Congress knowing.

He is too shady,

possibly the opposite.

The company will become less valuable if Trump wins as Trump will have a bigger, better, shinier megaphone, and he also will have to moderate what he says, at least a bit.

Required or not, well... He wasn't cooperative with that from the start.

Trump says won't divest from his business while president

That led to, well...

How Trump fused his business empire to the presidency

As Trump kicks off his fourth year as president with an impeachment trial tied to his actions involving Ukraine, critics say the president has yet to face accountability for blatant conflicts of interest tied to his private businesses.

And eventually to...

Trump made up to $160 million from foreign countries as president

And that wasn't even touching the money that foreign countries spent on him through his holdings within the US. Stuff like this wouldn't be included in that number -

For example, while campaigning in 2015, Trump bragged to a crowd in Alabama about his longstanding business ties with the Saudis. “They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million,” he told the crowd. “Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

Nor are the millions that foreign countries spent just renting sometimes unused rooms in Trump properties.

Shady? Definitely. Do Republican politicians care? Not enough to hold him accountable, despite all their pretenses to principle when it comes to fishing for something, anything to grasp onto when the target is a Democrat.
