"Tesla Goes Bankrupt
Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 --
Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it."

- jjevanoorschot 8y agoFor those who didn't already get it, it's an April Fool's joke.
- beltex 8y agoIndeed. Given the number of down votes, either folks didn't catch that, or it's all the short sellers :)
- jacquesm 8y agoOr maybe it was a lame joke by the CEO of a publicly traded company and as such totally out of order. That joke might have been funny if Tesla was making 7500 model 3 cars / week.
- mikeg8 8y agoAgreed. Can't wait to live in a world where CEOs can control themselves and refrain from cracking a quick joke on April Fools Day.
- jacquesm 8y agoWith being listed on the stock exchange comes a certain amount of responsibility. If you can't control yourself from making jokes about your company going bankrupt then maybe you should stay private? Keep in mind there are people's savings on the line here.
