It turns out that not always the rallies on the Day of Laughter are useful for the reputation of the company. Judge for yourself: at the auction on Monday, car maker Tesla shares fell more than 5%. Experts say that Ilona Mask's joke about the final bankruptcy of his brainchild and the fatal accident in which the driver behind the wheel of Model X died was to blame.
As a representative of Tesla, during the deadly accident the car was in the autopilot mode, and this further exacerbated the situation. The National Council for Transport Safety condemned the company for divulging the details of what had happened.
The Financial Times believes that Tesla will have big problems in the future with additional capital. Hence the fall in the value of shares.
Ilon Mask remained foolish on Fool's Day?
On April 1, Ilon Mask wanted to switch the public's attention from the history of the accident and published in his twitter news about the full bankruptcy of the company. And he really wanted to get the attention of the public as much as possible and he announced the very important news in the first post.
A couple of hours later he had an account in his account that Tesla was completely unprofitable:
"Our attempts to earn money were unsuccessful. We even tried to sell Easter eggs, but all is vain. Tesla is a complete bankrupt. We have gone bankrupt so completely and irrevocably that it is even hard to believe. "
Elon was found passed out against Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.

This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what's the point?

This Khokmach did not calm down - in the next tweet, he said that his firm falls under the law of the United States on bankruptcy. Finally, on the Mask page, there was another post where it was reported that the founder of Tesla was unconsciously "hitting his head" on Tesla Model 3, around the body of the Mask are bottled bottles from Teslaquilla and his face is covered with traces of low tears. At the end Mask noticed that this information is not a forecast for the future and wished everyone a good start to the month.
