        In this case as Will Hunting tends to agree with me. Elon Musk sets the expectations TOO HIGH to bump the price and then those expectations are - Bacon Jan 30, 13:55 9

        The question is can he make that company self substantiating before the next recession when the capital dries up. - Bacon Jan 30, 14:05
        
        He has to hit operational milestones as well, so he can’t just goose the share price -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Jan 30, 14:04 1
        
        Their cash/ cash equivalent position is up a billion dollars over a year ago. - TWuG Jan 30, 14:32

- WWE Related: Ronnie/Becky is the new Rock/Cena! -- nm - Qale Jan 30, 13:57 2

    - Which probably means there will be others to join the group. -- nm - eag Jan 30, 14:13

        Gloria could work as Nina's mom. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 13:32 2

        Diva for all the female roles! -- nm - Brrrn of Omicron Persei 8 Jan 30, 13:43
  - Dangit - just saw they cast someone as the Piragua Guy. Bummer. -- nm - Uhtred Jan 30, 13:22
- Granted, he's a Tony Award Nominee (play) and trained at Julliard. He's also from DC (Ellington high!) -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 13:03 2
  - He was also the lead in the most recent iteration of '24' and that nerd in the most recent 'King Kong'. He's having all kinds of career. -- nm* - Diva Jan 30, 13:13
  - Well that's all well and good, but is he qualified? In particular, does he shower? -- nm - Brrrn of Omicron Persei 8 Jan 30, 13:10
