Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) soared early on Elon Musk’s shameless puffery – which often borders on outright fraud – and reversed to the downside, while the S&P 500 and Dow were being pushed higher by the Plunge Protection Team. Both indices closed well of their higher. Auto sales for June were once again well below expectations. General Motors Company's (NYSE:GM) inventory soared despite a stated goal to reduce it inventory from over 110 days to 70. A lot of workers will lose their jobs. Household debt – mortgage, auto, credit card – will go unpaid…
