Musk tweets a poll, energy woes continue, and China’s big meeting.

Tesla Inc. shares dropped as much as 7.2% in pre-market trading after, and I can’t believe I am writing this, the results of the Twitter poll conducted by Elon Musk.

In 2018 Musk, as part of a settlement with regulators, agreed to get approval from a Tesla attorney before communicating material information to investors. Perhaps unrelatedly, Bitcoin surged more than 5% to top $66,000 this morning.
