The Tesla 12/9 Conspiracy: TSLA stock split?
Well, today is December 9th, is something big about to happen?
One new theory that has been making rounds on Tesla Twitter is the 12/9 hypothesis. According to Tesla bulls and investors on Twitter, the EV maker is planning to do a stock split on December 9, hence the 12/9 theory.
The theory initially began with Tesla's previous stock split. On May 1 (5/1), Elon Musk tweeted the Tesla stock price was too high. On August 11th (8/11) the same year, Tesla announced a 5:1 stock split, which in turn led to a strong price rally for the company's stock.
Now, it's widely believed that Musk hinted at the split directly with this tweet: looking closely, the date & time is 8:11 on 5/1. Some on Twitter believe this was more than a mere coincidence and that it was a cryptic message by Musk announcing the stock split to his followers.
Taking this as a starting point the 12/9 hypothesis tries to predict Tesla's next stock split.
The beginning of the theory could be traced back to an Elon Musk joke with his two favorite numbers: 420 and 69.
Musk wrote on Twitter: "Due to inflation $420 has gone up by 69."
Adam Hoove then did some number magic adding 420 and 69, which gives us 489, add the first two digits again 4 + 8 which gives 12, leave the 9 as it is and boom 12/9.

The snowball started rolling. It seems that the 12/9 number combination is everywhere:
1. Musk celebrates a very specific milestone of SpaceX. The 12/9 appears again.

2. Musk recently liked his own tweet from the 12/9.
3. The "battle" pictured on Musk's tweet is the Viking attack on Iona city, the last of which is thought to have happened in 1209.
4. Latest Tesla's FSD Beta v10.5 Release Notes feature 12 total items, with only one missing a dash in the front. You guessed it - the 9th item.
5. Gary Black, the Managing Partner of the Future Fund and Twitter-famous for his TSLA analysis. He pointed out a bit less important tweet where Elon claims 12M pounds of thrust at liftoff while showing clearly the 9 middle thrusters:
6. Also, there's some other "evidence":
Some of the supporting details were so elaborate the theory was starting to look real.
However, Elon has poured cold water on the theory at his latest appearance on the Wall Street Journal's CEO summit.
Musk, asked by the moderator what is going to happen with Tesla on December 9, Musk answered simply saying "nothing as far as I know."
Musk added: "I don't know where this came from, this is one of those memes that just came out of nowhere. As far as I know, nothing, maybe something might happen that I'm not aware of.”
