Is there any information about this from a reputable source? Because there have been Tesla/musk related crypto scams for years. Fake or not, I would exercise caution.

I would just buy TSLA if I wanted TSLA. It's $252/share today. I'm not sure I see the appeal of a fractional share at that price even if it was fully regulated and safe.

A non-safe/possibly non-legal crypto fractional share plan? No thanks.

I am amazed how many financially conservative people I know who have completely fallen for crypto gambles.

^^This! I have a 6yr old Tesla that has been, by far, the most reliable and enjoyable car I've ever owned. But it will be my last as long as Musk is involved.

He is in no way brilliant. His actual capabilities when he's really running a company by himself are brilliantly displayed in what has happened to twitter, which has been an unmitigated disaster. Unless something unlikely happens, Tesla itself is in big trouble. The only success I see other than pumping up Tesla stock is SpaceX. SpaceX reportedly has people to insulate the running of the company from Musk.

Our financial advisor is long Tesla stock. Makes me worry about her a little. I told her she should sell when it was close to the top, but it turned out she bought even closer the top. She's down over $100 a share, but people she listens to say there still is upside. But she is always prepared to show me that any investment she is recommending doesn't own significant amounts of Tesla stock. More and more people are starting to realize Musk isn't what he was hyped up to be, and so TSLA stock is doomed.

That would very likely get this thread closed; so let’s not do that.

If one searches on "how to buy a Tesla Token?" here's what you get:
1. Download a Trust Wallet Wallet.
2. Set up your Trust Wallet.
3. Buy SOL as Your Base Currency.
4. Send SOL From Binance to Your Crypto Wallet.
5. Choose a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)
6. Connect Your Wallet.
7. Trade Your SOL With the Coin You Want to Get.
8. If Nikola Tesla Token Doesn’t Appear, Find its Smart Contract
9. Apply the Swap
Are you serious? Talk about barriers to entry!

I had zero interest before, because...Musk...Now I have even less.

He's also bigoted, classist and supports a presidential candidate that is also bigoted and classist.

So people hate someone, because he doesn't hate someone THEY hate?

What, are we in 8th grade?

Some of you, ALL of you, should know better.
