Marxism, Ignorance & Stupidity w/Tesla’s Stock – Top 3 Takeaways – March 24th, 2025
Takeaway #1: Stupid is as Stupid Does
Historically I’ve been very clear about an important distinction. The difference between being ignorant or being stupid. Ignorance is an informational issue that can be resolved by acquiring more information. That’s something we all spend our entire lives attempting to do (or at least the non-slugs amongst us). We’re all extremely ignorant in many ways – my saying about these things is this... A smart person knows what they know, they know what they don’t, and they stick to what they know while working on learning what they don’t...which is a lifetime project. Being stupid on the other hand... that’s an aptitude issue that no amount of learning at a certain level can break through. When watching, listening to and reading about the bat crap crazy stuff the Left comes up with like the homosexual alphabet, gender fluidity and defunding police – I’m careful to look for those involved who’re intentional in their actions (often the leaders – who look to manipulate and take advantage of those who’re ignorant and/or stupid). I’m also intentional in attempting to discern who’s simply ignorant – meaning their issues can be fixed with more information – and those who’re just plain stupid. The BLM movement was the perfect example. BLM was/is a Marxist front organization which used race and specifically the George Floyd riots to gain significant space in society and especially financially. At its peak in 2020, 52% of our society approved of the organization. As time moved on, and most people became informed about what BLM was really about – they did an about face with BLM seeing support drop to 37% - which is about where it is today. In this example, 15% of the American public was clearly ignorant going along with the BLM ride at first – while with time we see that approximately 37% of our society is some combination of Incinoman ignorant, stupid or Marxist (which based on voting patterns seems about right). But the reason this is my top takeaway today isn’t due to BLM being back in the news, or to illustrate the point about what percentage of Americans are perpetually screwed, it’s due to the recent...
Takeaway #2: Tesla News
As always there are two sides to stories and one side to facts. Here are a couple of facts. First fact, as of Sunday, since Elon Musk officially took over DOGE on Inauguration Day there have been 19 documented attacks on Tesla’s facilities, dealerships and charging stations. Here’s another fact, arson and vandalism is bad – it's also illegal. And related here’s one other potential fact that I believe is almost empirically proven. Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz likely isn’t an anarchist, he may not intentionally be a Marxist, the man is both ignorant and stupid. Last week, Minnesota’s governor, unprompted, celebrated the decline of Tesla’s stock price on back of the Leftist backlash saying: Some of you know this. On the iPhone, they’ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day — $225 and dropping, we and if you own one, we’re not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off. Aside from rooting for the demise of the 11th most successful American company currently, which is inherently either a Marxist position or is actually endemic of stupidity, there was also the news that good ‘ole Timpon Walz was rooting against the financial interests of the government workers in his own state, as Minnesota’s pension system owns 1.6 million shares of Tesla stock making it one of their biggest stakes. Over the weekend, Tim Walz who was pillaried by everyone this side of Hillary had this to say to attempt to try to save face: This guy (referring to Elon Musk) bugs me in a way that’s probably unhealthy. I have to be careful about being a smarta--. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people. Well, I think he’s right about being mentally unhealthy anyway. But here’s the next thing for the submorons like Tim Walz on the Tesla scene.
Takeaway #3: Where Tesla’s Stock is Today
Trivia time... Where is the price of Tesla’s stock today...? It closed on Friday at just under $250 per share. When was the last time that Tesla’s stock traded at around $250 per share following the recent decline? Before the election in November. That’s right sports fans, which includes Tim Walz btw, because you’ll recall from the Democrat Convention that he was an unpaid assistant high school football coach or something. Anyway – Tesla's stock is actually trading higher today, after the two-month decline that we’ve seen, than it was six months ago. Do you happen to know what percentage of companies have performed worse than Tesla since Election Day? 65%. That’s right. Two-thirds of US publicly traded companies have performed worse than Tesla has since Election Day. So, whether a person is a Marxist, just ignorant or downright stupid, that’s the real deal. And once again the greatest modern philosopher, Forest Gump, is proved right. Stupid is as stupid does and says.
