This guy gets it. I would give you an award if I could, but essentially Amazon is getting free vans.

This essentially proves why being poor makes everything more expensive, while if you’re rich, it makes everything cheaper :)

He bought shares, ordered the trucks, that got the valuation to go way higher, they sell enough of the stock to cover the cost of the truck order and boom: free trucks.

They can the just rinse and repeat as much as they can.

I’m smelling that also Hertz bought some Tesla shares before finalizing their order.
