Loss of lakh crores with a single tweet ..! Elon Musk

 ఒక్క ట్వీట్‌తో లక్ష కోట్ల నష్టం..! 

ఒక్క క్షణం చాలు జీవితం తలక్రిందులు కావడనికి. ప్రధానంగా ఈ మాట స్టాక్ మార్కెట్ లలో ఎక్కువగా వినిపిస్తుంది. గతంలో ఎలాన్ మస్క్ చేసిన కొన్ని ట్విట్ల కారణంగా స్టాక్ మార్కెట్ ద్వారా లక్షల కోట్లు నష్టపోయాడు. తాజాగా మరోసారి చేసిన ఒక్క ట్వీట్‌తో లక్ష కోట్లు నష్ట పోయాడు. ఇటీవల బిట్ కాయిన్ విలువ రాకెట్ వేగంగా దూసుకెళ్తుంది. అయితే, బిట్ కాయిన్ షేర్ విలువ పెరుగుతుండడంపై ట్విటర్ లో ఎలాన్ మస్క్ స్పందించారు.

 "బిట్ కాయిన్, ఎథర్ క్రిప్టో కరెన్సీ ధర ఎక్కువగా" కనిపిస్తోందని ఫిబ్రవరి 20న ట్వీట్ చేశారు.

 దీనితో టెస్లా ఈక్విటీ వాటాలను విక్రయించేందుకు ఇన్వెస్టర్లు క్యూ కట్టారు. ఈ ఒక్క ట్వీట్ తో 15.2 బిలియన్ డాలర్లు(సుమారు లక్ష కోట్లు) కోల్పోయాడు. టెస్లా సంస్థ ఈక్విటీ విలువ కూడా పడిపోయింది. త్వరలో బిట్ కాయిన్ పేమెంట్ సేవలను ప్రారంభించాలని భావిస్తున్న ఎలాన్ 1.5 బిలియన్ డాలర్ల విలువైన కాయిన్లను కొనుగోలు చేసిన సంగతి తెలిసిందే. ఇలా కోట్లు నష్టపోవడం మొదటిసారి కాదు గతంలో “టెస్లా స్టాక్ ధర చాలా ఎక్కువ” అంటూ చేసిన ట్విట్ కి 14 బిలియన్ డాలర్లు నష్టపోయాడు.

An email saying you have gold is not the same as having gold. You might as well have crypto.

Money is just data that allows us to avoid the inconvenience of barter.

That data, like all data, is subject to latency & error. The system will evolve to that which minimizes both.

Who is Elon Musk: 

Elon Musk, (born June 28, 1971, Pretoria, South Africa), South African-born American entrepreneur who cofounded the electronic-payment firm PayPal and formed SpaceX, maker of launch vehicles and spacecraft. He was also one of the first significant investors in, as well as chief executive officer of, the electric car manufacturer Tesla.

PayPal And SpaceX

Musk attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and in 1992 he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where he received bachelor’s degrees in physics and economics in 1997. He enrolled in graduate school in physics at Stanford University in California, but he left after only two days because he felt that the Internet had much more potential to change society than work in physics. In 1995 he founded Zip2, a company that provided maps and business directories to online newspapers. In 1999 Zip2 was bought by the computer manufacturer Compaq for $307 million, and Musk then founded an online financial services company, X.com, which later became PayPal, which specialized in transferring money online. The online auction eBay bought PayPal in 2002 for $1.5 billion.

Musk was long convinced that for life to survive, humanity has to become a multiplanet species. However, he was dissatisfied with the great expense of rocket launchers. In 2002 he founded Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to make more affordable rockets. Its first two rockets were the Falcon 1 (first launched in 2006) and the larger Falcon 9 (first launched in 2010), which were designed to cost much less than competing rockets. 

A third rocket, the Falcon Heavy (first launched in 2018), was designed to carry 117,000 pounds (53,000 kg) to orbit, nearly twice as much as its largest competitor, the Boeing Company’s Delta IV Heavy, for one-third the cost. SpaceX has announced the successor to the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy: the Super Heavy–Starship system. The Super Heavy first stage would be capable of lifting 100,000 kg (220,000 pounds) to low Earth orbit. The payload would be the Starship, a spacecraft designed for providing fast transportation between cities on Earth and building bases on the Moon and Mars. SpaceX also developed the Dragon spacecraft, which carries supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Dragon can carry as many as seven astronauts, and it had a crewed flight carrying astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken to the ISS in 2020. Musk sought to reduce the expense of spaceflight by developing a fully reusable rocket that could lift off and return to the pad it launched from. Beginning in 2012, SpaceX’s Grasshopper rocket made several short flights to test such technology. In addition to being CEO of SpaceX, Musk was also chief designer in building the Falcon rockets, Dragon, and Grasshopper.

Tesla:

Musk had long been interested in the possibilities of electric cars, and in 2004 he became one of the major funders of Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla), an electric car company founded by entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. In 2006 Tesla introduced its first car, the Roadster, which could travel 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge. Unlike most previous electric vehicles, which Musk thought were stodgy and uninteresting, it was a sports car that could go from 0 to 60 miles (97 km) per hour in less than four seconds. In 2010 the company’s initial public offering raised about $226 million. Two years later Tesla introduced the Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by automotive critics for its performance and design. The company won further praise for its Model X luxury SUV, which went on the market in 2015. The Model 3, a less-expensive vehicle, went into production in 2017.

Musk expressed reservations about Tesla being publicly traded, and in August 2018 he made a series of tweets about taking the company private, noting that he had “secured funding.” The following month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Musk for securities fraud, alleging that the tweets were “false and misleading.” Shortly thereafter Tesla’s board rejected the SEC’s proposed settlement, reportedly because Musk had threatened to resign. However, the news sent Tesla stock plummeting, and a harsher deal was ultimately accepted. Its terms included Musk stepping down as chairman for three years, though he was allowed to continue as CEO.

Dissatisfied with the projected cost ($68 billion) of a high-speed rail system in California, Musk in 2013 proposed an alternate faster system, the Hyperloop, a pneumatic tube in which a pod carrying 28 passengers would travel the 350 miles (560 km) between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35 minutes at a top speed of 760 miles (1,220 km) per hour, nearly the speed of sound. Musk claimed that the Hyperloop would cost only $6 billion and that, with the pods departing every two minutes on average, the system could accommodate the six million people who travel that route every year. However, he stated that, between running SpaceX and Tesla, he could not devote time to the Hyperloop’s development.
