How to prevent accidentally giving some of your hard earned life savings to Elon, so that he can use your own money to hurt you.

Ask yourself 4 questions:

1) Do I own index funds?

2) Are those index funds going to buy SpaceX?

3) Do I want them to?

4) Which index funds won't be buying SpaceX?

🤔Seeing insiders and professional investors sell Tesla stock, as retail investors flood into it, all while GameStop has to close stores and pivots to Bitcoin🤡, is just too much.

By the way, the answer to the question of "Who still owns Tesla stock?" is "You, probably🙂🙃" Index funds. Mutual funds.

Your retirement account took *years of your life* to accumulate.

*Years*.

If you own the wrong fund, in a few weeks, someone is probably going to make a decision to sell some of the stocks that you are invested in via the fund, like Netflix or T-Mobile or GE Healthcare, to invest more on Elon.🤡

You already know what he's going to use your money to do.

I mean, you're on this website, so I know you know.

Your posting thumbs say, "Leave Twitter!" But your bank account says, "Nah! Stay on Twitter!🤡"
