See below. These are bad headlines. -- nm - David Jul 21, 08:49 10
- It’s a quarterly report. It’s exactly what happened and is now public knowledge. They aren’t going to publicize exiting a position - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:17 5
  - They're intentionally making it sound like Tesla just sold Bitcoin this week. It's clickbait. - David Jul 21, 09:23 3
    - I think you make a great point - those familiar with the rules for public companies wouldn't see it as clickbait, but not everyone has familiarity - rollo Jul 21, 09:31 2
      - plus, "Tesla sold most of its Bitcoin holdings last quarter" isn't an armtwisting edit. Too much present tense reporting on historical events. - Max Jul 21, 10:15
      - The most pressing factors on Bitcoin were Eastern Europe, Blackrock/Citadel, and the overall economy. Musk being duplicitous is just being on brand. - David Jul 21, 09:51
  - Would be more accurate for the headline to frame it more solidly in the past, but that’s a minor quibble not really rising to the level of clickbait - znufrii Jul 21, 09:22

  - Yeah, I'm disappointed in BBC for engaging in clickbait. -- nm - David Jul 21, 08:53 2
    - I imagine my weakness (and other STrs) for clickbait continues to be a big disappointment to you, too! -- nm - mud Jul 21, 09:00 1
      - It's a professional frustration more than a personal one. People simply cannot resist the dark arts even though they know where it's led. - David Jul 21, 09:01
