George Soros Bets On TSLA, Does This Change ANYTHING For You?

If Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk needs to raise even more money, there may be a way.

On Tuesday billionaire investor George Soros disclosed a $35 million stake in Tesla convertible senior notes during the first three months of the year.

Convertible notes give investors the right to trade their debt for equity at a conversion rate and are more appealing to the risk-averse, allowing them to benefit from Tesla’s stock price rising while guarding against the risk that it might not.

If I needed another reason not to buy a Tesla it's this. Soros is a Jew who passed as a Christian and helped the Nazis rob the Jews before slaughter and he has no guilt.

Liberals of course see no problem with Soros who funded Antifa, who has funded various riots, who is spending his money to buy elections.

This man is disgusting.

Soros is a Judenrat indeed and should be persecuted & executed for treason. George is the primary funding source of many environmental terrorist groups that are trying to stop Canadian pipelines and it is working with his little bitch puppet Mohamed Trudeau.

Of course this sack of shit human also is a major shareholder various petro assets that benefit by flooding our market with asshole terrorist regime bitumen and stopping Canadian oil from export markets all with the joyful help of our inept socialistic Leftard government.

All this means is that WHEN Tesla does need more money to survive - it is LIKELY that Soros will use his influence to get it done.

THAT changes nothing - the complete lack of Infrastructure - and lack of Local dealers for Tesla - keep me away from those cars just as much as the the limited range does. I still travel long distances and an EV is just plain inconvenient - and in most cases impossible to be of use for me. I will stick to a Hybrid if I care.

That fact remains - THe window of opportunity is closing on Tesla - as other manufacturers come closer and closer to competitive production. ALL we would need is for Mercedes to introduce an EV to the market to eliminate many if not most Higher end Tesla models. THeir local dealer network would be impossible for Tesla to overcome. Once there is Competition and people can go to other brands when they cannot get what they want at Tesla - the curtain is closing.
A few billion dollars is not going to make that change much!

On the infrastructure issue an odd sighting. At a northbound I-95 rest stop in NH this morning a diesel rig with a Tesla logo, California registered with a 53' box trailer. Is that how they are delivering their products? Not a car carrier? There aren't enough Teslas in Maine to warrant that many parts if that is what it is.

What makes you think Maine is the only stop for this truck ? According to the their plan, Tesla is rapidly expanding their Supercharging infrastructure per the article below

Ahh, when one is headed north on I-95 in NH, which is all of 14 miles long the next state is Maine, the end of the line. It gets very rural after 100 miles of I-95 in Maine. Cell phone service is sketchy. Saw one Tesla in Maine.

Probably deploying more superchargers. There are ~1k individual units being installed right now.

Much ado about nothing. $35M in convertible notes. Big deal. Tesla market cap is currently $47B USD. This is a click bait story to bring out the hate from red meat Republicans. Moving on...

So to recap, because Soros funds liberal causes, it is hate speech to point out that Soros is a despicable criminal pig.

@MD The point of the article is a discussion about different financial investment choices re buying a piece of Tesla. The move done by Soros is moot as it is so small. As soon as I saw Soro's in the title I knew people would jump all over it and ignore the subject. Sad but true. He seems to be a Boogy Man of sorts for some. You have much for to fear from the Kotch brothers than this guy.

So to recap.

Situational ethics: It's OK because the assistant to the butchers of the Jews only is throwing in a little money. Someone this vile and reprehensible should be damned for investing a penny.

Situational ethics: Because the Koch brothers are reprehensible it make Soros clean as a whistle.

#hypocrisy at its finest

He didn't help kill Jews, he helped raid assets. What would you do in that situation? Not help confiscate items and risk being killed yourself? I'd like to think I would be that brave but I'm not sure if I would have done anything differently (I would have felt guilt/remorse for sure).

I don't know a lot about Soros, but it looks like he's donated $16B to charities, mostly universities. What portion of his wealth has Trump donated for the benefit of others? He's f-ed a lot of people over by shutting down companies and not paying wages or contractors, but he's not exactly a huge philanthropist. Not everything is so black and white.

"Yeah, I'll take Trump over someone who assisted the Nazis to kill Jews any day of the week." -- MDarringer

1. Literal Nazis marching in America's streets, chanting "Jews will not replace us."
2. US President refers to them as "fine people."
3. President's Party: [crickets]
4. President and Party followers: Unwavering support.


And Matty think this is a good thing, and the prez is a good guy :-/ Here's a quick history lesson.

1. The Führer was a bad guy, even though he didn't personally kill anyone. He was responsible for tremendous horror.

2. Members of The Nazi Party, of which The Führer was the leader, were largely complicity in The Führer's deeds. They resonated with his views, values, ideology, etc.

3. People who supported The Nazi Party were complicit. They resonated with The Party's and The Führer's ideology (e.g., make Germany great again; get rid of the non-Germans; racial and religious bigotry; master race (AKA "We're Number One")). More that 70 years later, there are still German's alive who continue to stand behind The Führer's and The Party's ideology.


That's worth noting. It's also something to think about for people who resonate with a US President who refers to Nazi marchers as "fine people," and the Party that faithfully follows him.

As I've said before: the mind of "The Daffies" is a strange terrain to navigate.

"Now it's the trolls' turn! Derisive replies? Down votes? :-D"

You're the preachy, holier than thou, essayist, smug resident troll here.

BTW before labeling Trump as a racist (which he is not) take a hard look at the great fraudster Hussien -your idol and Messiah also the most racist POTUS ever to hold office whom hates whites and especially Israel (if your white -you're privileged) and successful entrepreneurs (You didn't build that!). Trump has 1 misquote and Hussien 8 years of well documented racism that nobody dared call him out for because that would be racist to call out his racism. This is how fucked up the PC modern world has become...

@qwertyfla1: One of the characteristics of racists, is that they don't think of themselves as racists. They just think they're right.

The fact of the matter is, a racist lacks the specific qualities required to meaningfully assess if they, or others, are racist or not. Do you understand? If you don't, then I hope this video helps you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvVPdyYeaQU

George Soros was 15 at the END of WW2. He moved to England in 1946. MDDaranged is spouting Breitbart news BS because Soros is not a big supporter of Israel. Guess what, neither is most of the world outside of the US. Netanyahu is the real war criminal.

@Truthy I actually posted an interview with Soros where he admits to helping the Nazis and that he had no problem helping the Germans with their "efforts" vis a vis the Jews.

Because you are absolving him of his crimes against humanity, we know two things: (1) truth is an anathema to you and (2) you're an Alt-Left fascist socialist.

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Sounds like Drumpf. Attacks the press that is not subservient to him, thinks the justice dept should do his bidding, is extremely a nationalist, praises neo-nazis in Charlottesville, attacks business owners who disagree with him, etc, etc. Sounds like facism to me.

She then continued, "By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?"

This conspiracy theory about Soros has been debunked many times. The fact-checking site Snopes called it "false" back in 2016.
