A bad week for Elon Musk gets seemingly worse, with shares in Tesla slumping around 17% since the high point at the start of the month. Musk offered to sell 10% of his Tesla stock in a Twitter poll over the weekend if supported – it was – leaving the Tesla CEO with around 17.5 million shares to offload. Including stock options, Musk owns around 23% of Tesla.

And Elon Musk was not the only, potential, seller of Tesla shares of late with his brother, and board member, Kimbal Musk selling a chunk of stock before his brother Elon announced the Twitter poll. According to an SEC filing last Friday. Kimbal Musk sold around $109 million of Tesla shares between $1,223 and $1,236 according to the filing, compared to a current spot price of around $1,030.

The latest chart shows the steep sell-off in Tesla with the stock now below the nine-day moving average and just above $1,000. Lower down there is a gap on the charts between $910 and $944 and sellers may be attracted to this zone, despite the CCI indicator showing Tesla as heavily oversold.

Noted short-seller Michael Burry has also entered the Tesla fray again, suggesting that Elon Musk may be selling Tesla shares to cover personal loans taken out against his shares. The head of Scion Asset Management is not new to Tesla with an updated regulatory filing in August showing that Scion had puts on 1.1 million Tesla shares – an option to sell Tesla shares short – an increase from 800,000 shares at the end of March. Burry later told CNBC via email, in mid-October, that this position was just a trade and that he was never short ‘tens or hundreds of millions of any of these things, as reported’ with the options bets ‘extremely asymmetric’, and that the media was off by ‘orders of magnitude’. It is not known if Scion continues to hold all or any part of this position, if it is/was fully hedged, or at what strike price or expiration date the options were struck at.

While all of these actions, and subsequent stories and tweets, may well be a coincidence, what is not in doubt is that the share price has taken some or all of these incidents badly.

    • Lately I’ve been following AIXBT by Virtuals for a bit, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s making me wonder about the direction AI is taking in the crypto space. Kinda seen a lot of hype around AI lately on X and different forums. So here’s my take, instead of just applying AI to the usual market analysis, AIXBT is talking about AI agents that could actually be co-owned and tokenized like digital assets that interact with games, social platforms, and even manage wallets. More findings in the whole co-ownership thingy, which is a great idea especially with the blockchain aspect. A lot of people are talking about how AI could help boost revenue across different platforms, but I’m still skeptical about how this will actually work in practice. These agents are supposed to be able to do things like pick up a sword in Roblox or interact on TikTok, but will they actually change the way users engage with digital spaces? Couple of top exchanges like BINGX already listed $AIXBT which is a big deal, imho as it’s gaining some real traction already.  Notwithstanding, still thinking if this is the future of digital assets, or is it just another trend that’s getting way too much hype?
    • With Clanker native token recently listed on Bitget and already trading above $68, some people have start speculating that this AI-driven token deployment platform on the Base network could increase adoption on the blockchain due to some various reason such as; 1. Ease of Token Creation: Clanker simplifies the process of token creation to the point where it's accessible to anyone with basic social media skills. Users can deploy tokens by simply tagging Clanker on the Farcaster platform, describing their desired token, thereby lowering the entry barriers for token creators and potentially attracting a broader user base to the Base ecosystem. 2. Community Engagement and Viral Potential: The integration of token deployment with social media platforms like Farcaster encourages community participation. Memes and viral content can naturally lead to increased attention and, consequently, adoption. Clanker's tokens often become memes themselves, which can drive speculative interest and trading volume, furthering the network's visibility 3. Profit Sharing Mechanism: Clanker's model includes sharing a portion of the fees with the users who request token deployments. This financial incentive could encourage more people to use Clanker for launching tokens, thus increasing activity on Base. The promise of earning from the liquidity pool fees makes it an attractive proposition for users looking to participate in the crypto space in a potentially profitable manner. 4. Innovation in Tokenomics: By introducing tokens like LUM, which were autonomously created through AI collaboration, Clanker showcases innovative tokenomics. This not only promotes the idea of AI in blockchain but also piques interest in how tokens can be generated, possibly drawing tech enthusiasts and investors curious about new token models. 5. Fostering Decentralized Social Interaction: Clanker's operation within the Farcaster ecosystem highlights how blockchain can intersect with decentralized social networks. This intersection can lead to new forms of interaction and economic models where social engagement directly correlates with token creation, potentially making Base a hub for such activities.  6. Market Activity Boost: The surge in transaction volumes due to Clanker's activity indicates its substantial impact on the network's activity. High transaction volumes often correlate with increased interest and investment in a blockchain, which could lead to greater adoption as more participants are drawn to where the action is.   Is obvious that these factors could increase adoption to base chain but what do you think?
