Didn’t read any of this shit, but how do you know this? You a bean counter?

No, I'm not a "bean counter," it's literally just there for all to read. I'm not saying that Mr. Musk put up nothing but TSLA shares as collateral (and I honestly hope he didn't; it would potentially mean a lot of people's jobs on the line). But in the scenario that he did, it would make TSLA far more sensitive to changes in its market value than would otherwise be assumed. There's a spectrum here: the more Mr. Musk put up in collateral as cash or (at least) as shares in his other corporations (Boring, SpaceX, etc.), the less sensitive TSLA is to market fluctuations.
