A lot of people didn't believe me a couple years ago when I called legacy makers EV announcements total BS. It was obvious BS but still people didn't believe me. Mark Speigel, NYC fund manager believed them. He lost millions of dollars of other people's money and now his fund is hanging by a shoestring.

But here we are, 2022 and where are the 16 EV's Ford claimed would be in the 2022-year model line-up? How does a Mach-e and a soon to be released Lightning F-150- count as 16 EV models? Some people are so gullible that all a company has to do is make the claim and people will believe them.

If Ford had 8 new EV models, we could say their plans were too ambitious. But where are these 40 2022 electrified models with 16 of them being pure EV's? Here's the Reuters article from 2018 covering this Ford lie:

Ford plans $11 billion investment, 40 electrified vehicles by 2022 | Reuters

Mark Spiegel is one of the most gullible fund managers to ever exist. If his wealthy dad didn't give him money, he would be flat broke, bankrupt. Yet he keeps claiming Tesla is the one going bankrupt. What is wrong with that guy? He shouldn't be managing his own allowance let alone other people's money!

Mark Speigel, is not the only long-time Tesla seller.


The most well-known short seller in the world, Jim Chanos lost several billions since 2018 and a lot of the losses were from betting against Tesla.

Jim Chanos’ Kynikos Associates and Jim Carruthers’ Sophos Capital got much smaller in 2020, according to new regulatory filings.
Assets Have Tanked at Two of the World’s Biggest Short Sellers

.....
Chanos, arguably the most well-known short seller in the world, lost more than 50 percent of its assets last year. Kynikos ended 2020 with about $405 million in regulatory assets under management, down from around $932 million the prior year, according to annual ADV filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

.....
The long bull market has punished Chanos for years. In 2018, when Institutional Investor profiled him, Kynikos ran just under $2 billion, having already lost almost three-quarters of his assets since the financial crash of 2008, when it ran $7 billion.

.....
last year Chanos’s most notable loss was his Tesla short. Elon Musk’s electric car company skyrocketed by more than 700 percent last year, and Chanos — long a Tesla foe — had to scramble.

True.

$7 billion to $2 billion to less than half a billion. That's what I would call 14 years of a poorly run business. The idea is to to create value, not destroy it. But that concept is often lost on short sellers.
