You Buy Tesla right now, before this evening earnings report, and you could be walking on the pristine white sand beaches of Negril tomorrow.

The main buyers of Tesla were Liberal Democrats, not anymore. Most are selling them at a discount. Those poor Deplorables who are MAGA’s main disciples can’t afford Teslas.

The revolution against Musk and Tesla has started. Buy his stocks at your own financial peril. The ordinary people are showing that they also have power, and this is only the beginning.

First Buddy, Elon Musk, is a polarizing figure who has negatively impacted Tesla's brand. The backlash, including boycotts and vandalism, is largely from his political affiliations with Donald Trump. It has certainly led to a decline in Tesla's sales and stock value, and yes, a lot of customers distancing themselves from the brand.

If you separate Musk's personal controversies from the Tesla brand you will see that Tesla is an innovative cutting-edge technology company that will revolutionize the EV market and the way we drive.

In the long run I am certain Tesla will bounce back and rebuild public image and trust with disillusioned customers.

But his European sale has tanked and that's significant! Now, if other electric car manufacturers such as Ford and Hyundai can get their electric vehicles into the European market Tesla will suffer greatly because those cars are half the price of Tesla. Once in LA for a day I rented a Kia and swore I'd never drive another Korean vehicle. This month my car door got swiped and while it was being repaired I got an Hyundia in the same class and was stunned at how well it handled and how easy and modern the features were. Tesla could be in trouble...long term.

My original point to Casper was that it is important to decouple Musk the man from Tesla the company.

Tesla is more than an electric vehicle company. Robotics is a key area of focus for the company. Their humanoid robots can operate in complex environments in various industries. Tesla's robotics division could generate trillions more in revenue than the car segment is doing right now.

They have integrated AI into cars and robotics and their robotaxis will revolutionize public transit. All of this puts them way ahead of everyone in the technology future.

Low range would be RIU Montego Bay. Midrange would be Royalton Blue Waters. Upper range would be Hyatt Ziva and Half Moon. Secrets is also nice. I think RIU has the best entertainment, but Sandals probably has the best food if you are looking for Jamaican cuisine. I am not a fan of Sandals though.

Out di boex Get a good Air B n B in Kingston ask them to arrange a honest driver for you.
Plan trips that allow you to see the place, meet the people and enjoy the culture from 'bottom to top'

Rockfort, Milk River and Bath mineral springs, YS Falls, Helshire, Port Royal, Ochie and its sites and environs including Puerto Seco on its outskirts.
Local Food (spen' 'mongst di ppl) You can choose from above and have a good 5 day trip and be very safe doing it too.

Hope you have a good time whatever your likes. Island has lt to offer.
But in all your adventure, make sure you avail yourself of some
nice sour sop juice.
Some one will help you source that as I am not in the know as to
places to find that treat; but have a big helping for me smile

The Sea Garden all-inclusive in MoBay is what I'd recommend. Always a choice of Yardie food and the std fare; entertainment and beach. Nice central location too, on Kent Ave right off the Hip Strip (Jimmy Cliff Blvd / Gloucester Ave / "Bottom Road"). Was booked out last time so we did the Deja Resort on the Strip. Good meal choices too but they have to 'borrow' a beach from Doctor's Cave, which means getting a permit from the office.
Negril-- the only place I've stayed there is the Sam Sara; wasn't worth the money; food not great and most other things just ordinary. Planning to try Travellers Resort next time. It is Yardie owned (started by ex-Brooklyn taxi driver and now his son runs it).
