1. You know why. For Elon musk. Unfortunately this administration now hawks for individuals instead of industries.

2. Whose going to hold him accountable. No one, so what’s stopping him, nothing. Certainly not some internal code of ethics.

3. He probably owns tesla stock

4. Because he has a bag of stock he needs to unload.

5. Bailout

6. He indirectly owns Tesla stock and he drinks the Elon/Felon kool aid.

7. Because he owns tsla and he’s upside down

8. He owns Tesla stock and is forced to do so by president musk because he is afraid of his debtors ( musk uses his Tesla stock as collateral)

9. because he owns tesla stocks

10. One word: Corruption.

11. the grift doesn’t fall far from the grifter in [chief](https://imgur.com/77rrBKi)

12. Someone has to hold the bags. May as well be idiots and 401ks not like the bank gives a fuck either.

13. How much Tesla stock does he own? Pumping it seems to be self-serving corruption to me id he owns a significant number of shares.

14. Corruption. Greed. Cronyism

15. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

16. Possible conflict of interest at play?

17. Is the SEC asleep at the wheel or in cahoots?!

18. Shills gotta shill.

19. Because daddy Musk has told them to.

20. Cause he’s holding bags, he wants green not red.

21. Back when America was Great, we’d call that corruption. The current strategy seems to be make corruption a non-issue by “flooding the zone” with corruption

22. These guys are so lame. Please clap. Buy Tesla. Ignore the stock market.

23. because he’s a shitfaced cockmaster/donkey raping shit eater

24. Imagine if a democrat was hawking a stock? The republicans would send the military in to remove that person from office.

25. Because he knows who he owes his job to? And laws don’t apply to this illegitimate “administration”.

26. Um. Just a guess. He’s a shill?

27. It’s funny to me that they are pushing buying Teslas on the one hand, and defunding the expansion of charging station infrastructure on the other. Oil and Gas is the future! Renewable energy is Communist! But, this guys electric cars are good so go buy them now!

28. The Trump administration will advertise whatever you want for enough money. The guy is literally famous for being corrupt and being completely content with illegal backroom deals

29. Not buying that stock stay away also investors are shorting it
