Time doesn’t seem to be going good for Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. but Elon doesn’t mind cracking a joke on it.
The stock prices are going down, the financial condition of the firm doesn’t seem to be stable and questions are being raised on the safety of its self-driven technology.
Elon was keeping mum and was sticking to “no comments” policy but on Sunday, he chose to respond. His response was on the line of his firm’s current condition and he played an April Fools’ joke on Twitter.
Elon took to the micro-blogging site and increased the curiosity by tweeting, “Important news in a few hours …”

This tweet was followed by another tweet which stated that Tesla has gone bankrupt. The tweet read,
“Tesla Goes Bankrupt
Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 — Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can’t believe it.”

He made one more tweet, “There are many chapters of bankruptcy and, as critics so rightly pointed out, Tesla has them *all*, including Chapter 14 and a half (the worst one).”

The final tweet that cleared all the doubts as to whether these tweets were genuine or made for April Fools’ Day showed Elon Musk passed out with a board of “Bankrupt”.
The tweet read,
“Elon was found passed out against a 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?
Happy New Month!”

This is a tough time for Tesla but we feel that Elon and his team will find a way out to solve all the problems. What do you say?
