Blackberry $BB Elon

Submitted by Worried_Cow_1052 t3_z7e6sz in wallstreetbets

Speculating here and call me crazy but with Elon going scorched earth on Apple today, threatening to build his own phone, why isn’t anybody talking about calls for $BB

Even is Elon just mentions blackberry it would be huge publicity, and would likely cause a pump.

Loading lotto calls in June for 6 or 7 bucks is cheap af, worth a shot and likely won’t cost that much

What do you think apes?

>I think it is worth considering a lotto call option in June for Blackberry. While there may be some downside risk, the potential upside of this strategy could far outweigh any losses incurred. As you mentioned, Elon Musk's endorsement would likely bring additional attention to the stock and drive up its price significantly if he follows through on his plans. It might also create opportunities for other traders who are looking to take advantage of short-term volatility caused by news related events such as these.

Honestly I've been waiting for something like this for a while to buy into BB. They're sitting on so many patents.

I agree with this not being the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen for a lotto ticket. I’ll snag 10 of these calls. I’ve spent money on dumber things

He cares about money, and this would make him a shit ton of money. Politics aside it makes sense with starlink, in the future delivering internet straight from star link into his own phones. Blackberry has the patents, it’s a long shot but definitely worth taking a look at. Politics aside though come on man

BB got rid of most of their phone patents on a recent sale last year. They haven’t been focusing on phones for years

Definitely not buying into this, but there is some worthwhile logic even without a handset.

BlackBerry already did the ground work on building a QNX phone os. They abandoned it for android at the end, but QNX os existed and was spectacular.

If Elon’s really got a belly to fight Apple and Google, he wouldn’t do it by launching one phone (likely on android in any event). He would need the whole ecosystem - BlackBerry has the privacy, security, and stability cred that’s currently not being used to maximum efficiency.

If Elon still had any credibility/salesmanship left, lending it to BlackBerry probably could haveturned it into that rocket ship to Mars.

I mean, what makes BB any more likely as his revived phone of choice over any of the old brands? Nokia could also be a choice and is trading at $4.70 and personally, if he came out and said he would be doing a modernised 3210, every Millenial to Boomer would buy it just for the nostalgia (and to see if we could throw it and it not break, like the old days).

Elon buying up shares of Blackberry, can take control of the company and fix it. He’s doing now with twitter and can do the same with BlackBerry. It’s easier to folic a company then to create one from scratch.

Why BlackBerry and not HTC or Nokia?

Side note: check out Motorola, their stock is insanely high right now, time to short that one?

The Blackberry mobile phone brand was sold to chinese company TCL along with the whole hardware branch years ago. So there is nothing to buy really except their security software which also seems obsolete. If he d go with purchasing Nokia (HMD) could be a candidate.

I understand this thesis. I want to believe in the play but I don’t. He just bought twitter. No way he buys blackberry. I understand that he doesn’t need to buy it, just say he will. But I don’t think he will say that he will.

If he hadn’t recently got into Twitter, I’d go in on this. At least for fun

The phone - if ever sold - will just be a cheap Chinese OEM AOSP (Android with no Google apps) and a different app store. The cost of doing this is negligible.

BB is no longer involved in phones. Their core business is selling QNX software for automotive and industrial purposes.

I’m bag holding both BB and NOK. Elon could get a physically indestructible phone and bring back a physical keyboard. He would also get access to IVY and infotainment in cars to cut out Apple.

Plausible, bb shelved their revival phone this year. Was supposed to launch next year, im sure there are some bones to it

The reason why this seems unlikely is that it is too obvious - when have I ever been this lucky? Elon lost tons of money already - can he really go shopping again? It's totally worth the gamble though
