crypto crash

I wonder how this will affect Tesla. Maybe Musk's aura will tank.

Yes, the market has risen for over a year now and is due for a correction. Cryptocurrencies tend to be volatile but have always bounced back. Nothing going on to think this is unusual.

There is a lot of money in code. Ask Microsoft.

Seems like they could just apply money to get chips. Cars are expensive.

This could all be a perfect storm, trillions lost, triggered by Elon's dreadful SNL monologue.

Do you want a car with no service manuals or parts?
