PickleRick stream of conscious of why @elonmusk is off his rocker this weekend. Liquidity, accounting games, and more.
1. $TSLA real cash balance available for use like $1.5-2.5 billion
2. Suspended operations don’t undo all the accounts payable due
$TSLAQ

3. Suspended $TSLA operations don’t undo all the operating expenses Tesla needs to maintain (payroll, utilities, new parts / supplies)
4. Accounting games: we all know Tesla’s accounts receivable are...
$tslaq

5. ... fugazzi (h/t @davidein), with an entire Quarter elapsing at 50% sales decline, how can they show no decrease in A/R? They can’t.
6. Two factories running yet declining OpEx? Okay @SEC_Enforcement, please explain that to my Grad professor in capital allocation.

7. Factory shut down with that much inventory? Is that inventory real? Will it need to be written down? Let’s ask @Carvana can’t let this domino fall in their accounting games of musical chairs.

8. With Q2 being a dumpster fire, will they have to pull guidance? Well yes, but they won’t.
9. Finally this all ties into the fact $TSLA does not have enough cash to exist for 8 weeks while satisfying bills and debts. They need to raise imminently.

10. How can they raise after @elonmusk just kamikazed his entire reputation (like it existed before), with all the market vol and increase risk premia?
