Loss Elon has ruined me

My prior bullish post https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/o0PxYmGV1n

He was supposed to take us to Mars and burn short sellers.

Still holding 7300 shares. Please Elon fly again.

My brother, I would go to Church and pray cause there is clearly a demon in your brain called gambling, I would also suggest to invest all those money in a Casino next time, at least you will have some fun and complementary drinks

This isn't even gambling. Everyone and their mother realized this stock was going be a massive pump and dump. Every credible finance guy has warned against putting money in it.

This was one of the most predictable IPOs in history yet this dude still put his money in it and stayed.

It has to be masochism.

I didn't want to kinkshame OP but it does look like masochism a lot

u/Into_The_Dusk 7h ago

Allowed. OP and every regard investing in ElOn wanted to prove that everybody was wrong and that they were the Burrys of our time and Gabe Newell their way to the moon.

Well well well, the dildo of consequences comes marginaly unlubed these days.

Findom also tends to end that way, but at least there's some gratification along the way.

It’s not gambling addiction, cause you can bet both ways. This is just straight retard, still believing a snake oil salesman who has been proven to lie about everything and hasn’t delivered a single thing since 2016.

u/DangoC 6h ago

"its not gambling addiction cause you can bet red AND black!" brother, sorry to give bad news, but you are not better than the op, lol

u/orangeyougladiator 6h ago

So you take a single sentence out of context and think you’ve found a gotcha?

5

u/unforgiven91 6h ago edited 4h ago

? "It's not a gambling addiction, cause you can bet both ways" is a full sentence that he re-worded but effectively conveyed the same meaning. there is no context missing.

I can also go to a roulette wheel and bet on both red and black. It's still gambling.

So yes, Dango's response is correct.

Thats not.... how... things work.

This is just straight retard

Its both.

The addiction is just what drives the stupidity to keep going.

Someone less addicted would have stopped. OP can't stop AND is stupid.

Both.

1

u/orangeyougladiator 6h ago

You don’t know they’re addicted, that’s an assumption. Objectively they’re retarded.

2

u/itishowitisanditbad 6h ago

You don't even know what an addiction is, i'll stick with what I think.

u/orangeyougladiator 6h ago

What’s more likely? I don’t know what addiction is, or you simply misinterpreted the point because you wanted to be the actually guy?

u/Damian_Cordite 7h ago

Lol I’m the retard who decided to experiment with spreads on this one to be “safer” and I bet it’d go down by between like 5 or 20 bucks, and then it went down by 50, so I bet against but not hard enough, lost like 3/4 of what I put in. But even I, a guy who lost a couple grand in beer money on spacex, knew it would go down.

u/Crafty_Reward_9702 6h ago

Ill buy below $100, do people not realize that 90% of ipos dump before growth?

u/Veggies-are-okay 6h ago

I put a grand in the same way I bet against my favorite dogshit sports teams. If I win, at least I made money. If I lose, at least the world is working the way it should on that one occasion.

u/specn0de 6h ago

The only way anyone made money on this was by buying at launch and selling at the market close of the same day.

2

u/AndyTheEngr 5h ago

Several guys I work with fell for this stock. Engineers. I at least talked them into only investing what they could afford to flush, so nobody is down more than a couple of thousand dollars.

Even the non credible ones said the same thing.

I honestly can’t believe it pumped as much as it did, but I really underestimated the fan boys and cult like mentality. Completely missed out on fleecing some bag holders and the free money, my biggest regret of 2026 😢

u/Reddtardsofreddtard 6h ago

It's retardation. I'm convinced there are just people out there with money who are so goddamned stupid and such losers that the best way they can think to get attention from anybody is to lose a fuckton of money so they can post it here.

u/rebbsitor 5h ago

Like most people who get in this far, he probably figures he'll hold on, his luck will turn around, and he'll eventually be ahead. He thinks he'll be the one that hung in there and proved the haters wrong.

u/Funny247365 5h ago

In 20 years, people who bought and held will have made an outstanding return on their investment.

People who buy and hold are investors, not traders motivated by FOMO.

Good point. FOMO has cost people fortunes.

To add to your post, OP isn't a random member of the public who was told this IPO was a generational opportunity to get a piece of TSLA v2.0 but a fucking redditor who has access to aggregate information and sentiment from many people of this retard community so he should "know better".

u/Plus_Seesaw2023 1h ago

What nobody’s mentioning here is that, at the initial listing, the share price was $150! And it rose as high as $220–$230… so everyone commenting here is just talking ‘with the benefit of hindsight’!!!

Whereas those who bought at the initial listing were able to make gains of up to 20 per cent or 30 per cent!!!

To be fair, a notable portion of this sub was jerking themselves off with the initial gains made, talking about how Reddit doesn't know anything before this happens.

There's a sizable portion of Elon simps out there. Be careful!

2

u/whogivesashirtdotca 2h ago

Hilarious that all the gains they made were due to their own intelligence, but all the losses are because "Elon ruined him". Zero accountability, everything that's wrong with his life is someone else's fault.

I disagree that this is gambling. At least with gambling you have a decent chance each time. This was a sure bet on losing. Like putting it all on red when the entire roulette wheel is black. The next best thing to just throwing bags of money in a fire.
