Of all the talk over the years about Multiple BP interests and possible partnering scenarios.

"We just don't have the horsepower to continue alone and will be partnering with a BP"

"We are in discussions with multiple BP"

Need I go on?  Everything we have been waiting for came down to a partnership deal. Ha it ain't happening.

Again I ask why DM would talk partnerships with BP when he knew full well their "standard procedures" and yet now those standards don't meet the companies standard?!

Smoke and mirrors and be blinded and swayed by more carrots and "better sit down possible near term revenue" blah blah blah....well be swayed, okay sure, no problem here.  

Let's just all admit all the talk of BP partnership and all the "really" interested BP's over years and years was all BS.

They reason 99% of us have been hanging on was for this moment.  DM has horseshoes you know where because now covid is the next carrot to string out for his followers and to deflect from no BP partnership. Look at his wording and tone used just last October during the Chinese investor conference His huge emphasis on Option 1. 
To further Golf's question on why no analysts coverage hahahaha come on man they would not touch this story and risk losing credibility as it's a investors nightmare.
