I believe the Delaware court decision, forcing #Tesla to void the March 2018 vote on Elon Musk’s performance-based pay package, is un-American, an assault on investor rights, and an insult to the Board of Directors of one of the most stunningly successful companies in US history.

If inflation is unwinding, as we believe, then we could be heading back to the future, the Roaring Twenties, the last time several general purpose technologies evolved at the same time: telephone, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. The setup is remarkably similar!

In 2008-09, when the Fed started quantitative easing, I thought that inflation would take off. I was wrong. Instead, velocity - the rate at which money turns over per year - declined, taking away its inflationary sting. Velocity still is falling.

Government statistics do not seem to be capturing how weak the economy is. Many companies are reporting shockingly weak revenues. UPS’s US delivery volume growth is worse today than in 2007-2009. After falling for nearly two years, it dropped another ~11% last quarter.

Square's transaction margin is rising as closed-loop transactions take more share of GPV. While this makes up a small part of Square today and Square/fintech co's make up small part of payments today, it offers a glimpse of the value of controlling both ends of the transaction.

Shocking! In Q1, 3M organic local currency sales - a gauge of global nominal GDP - dropped 5.6% YOY with US up 0.4%, Europe down 3.9%, and Asia down 16.7%. Consensus nominal GDP growth for US is +7% YOY. When will the Fed and economists start responding to the real world?

As Chair of the Fed from February 2014 to February 2018, Yellen was on policy watch as bitcoin soared from ~$1,000 to ~$20,000 in 2017. The fact that this week she focused on the risk of potential nefarious actors instead of the risk to US monetary sovereignty is reassuring.

Tesla’s goal has been to drive prices down and increase #EV adoption. At Investor Day (3/1), Elon could announce a step-function drop in pricing, much like he did for the Model 3, to ~$25,000 for the next gen EV. Gas-powered vehicles boomed at that price point.

Tesla's margins, superior drivetrain efficiency and low battery costs should make it one of the best positioned to weather any cyclical slowdown for autos. As it has done in the past, it can be the first to lower prices, which puts pressure on other automakers.
