People do a great many things with money, but they usually do not give money because it is the right thing to do.

Is there enough stock available to do a hostile takeover?

I mean, I could only afford about three shares right now, but someone else might be able to do that...

I vote for Oliver Kuttner. When I looked he seems to be occupied with Corona-chan housing.

Is VLC still a thing? That was Kuttner, right?

Good news: Aptera is back, under new (old) ownership. Yup! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptera_Motors
Production to commence "later in 2020" (haha).

Who will win the race to actually sell a car to a member of the general public: VLC, Aptera or Elio? Now taking bets!

I cannot find anything about VLC. Apparently there is some popular computer program with the same name. I added "Kutner" and "Car" and got a seven-year-old page.

So, I bet one Stanley nickel that Aptera sells one car within the next ten years.

Still just an absolutely beautiful design.

I would love to see them ON THE ROAD, even at limited volume production, a la the FUV.

You made me look up ELIO on the stock exchange.
Down from $2 a year ago. It is cheap!

Looking down Google's list I saw some weird items. I guess they are automatically generated.

How has ELIO MOTORS INC/SH SH's stock been impacted by COVID-19 (Coronavirus)?
ELIO MOTORS INC/SH SH's stock was trading at $0.50 on March 11th, 2020 when COVID-19 (Coronavirus) reached pandemic status according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Since then, ELIO stock has decreased by 28.0% and is now trading at $0.36. View which stocks have been most impacted by Coronavirus. [etc]
No doubt the lockdown got in the way of maintaining production levels.

Yeah, I've just been ignoring Elio's rage tweets about the constitution and threatening to move his plant to another state.

samwichse: no doubt, an amazing design. I'd drive a car like that.

I remember seeing an Aptera cruise by in the background of one of the Star Trek movies. Probably the highlight of the movie for me.
