Awe shucks. Tesla should boot out Dork MAGAT and bring back Eberhard and Tarpenning. When Leon leaves, then I will consider a Tesla.
Nooo they didn’t like the self-driving robotaxi that isn’t self driving. What about the bus that can’t go over a pothole? No? How about robots that are controlled and voiced by humans? Damn. Tough crowd.
Also there's this whole track record of Elon Musk's demonstrations were there's no clear independent validation that they actually work as we are being said they to or they're merelly announcements or concepts: those things are invariably complete total bollock at best bordering on Fraud.
I reckon that finally he has entirely exhausted both the benefit of the doubt that his demonstrations are in any way honest and representative of real products present or future, and the idea that "he might be bullshitting but he'll pull in enough suckers that early investors will win from going all in even if it's 100% bollocks".
The Midas Touch of Elon's bullshit has finally ran its course and turned into a Shit Touch.
At least the robovan looks like a vehicle from a dystopian cyberpunk movie, and the bad guy cops (that are of course working for a private police firm) are being ready to burst out from it to try to arrest the good guys.
Especially the person in the background starting Elon's first public robotaxi-trip with a remote control didn't really help.
“And all transport will be fully autonomous within 50 years.”
Bro even cold fusion reactors have less estimation than that.
For clarity, this means the stock is back to the price it was in September. I know car-man-bad but I get tired of these sensationalized articles that are only shared because they confirm that someone we like is bad actually
Market Cap of a company is sort of a meaningless number. As in, it's shares in existence times price per share, which is just another way of saying its the share price. If somebody were to sell $100 Billion worth of Tesla shares, the market price would plummet and he'd not get the $100 Billion the shares were originally worth.
Of course, a rule of thumb is that a company is worth 20 times it's annual profit, or its revenue. So, by that valuation, Tesla is worth 28 Billion dollars, or 25.5 Billion dollars if we go by revenue. (I'm surprised that both approaches lead to results so close to each other) Compare with a market cap of 682,47 billion, we can see that Tesla is ridiculously overvalued. So, I guess you should go and buy puts on Tesla. Or sell your shares if you have any.
I'm just getting into stocks. Would this be a good time to invest now that it's low?
Tesla and Elon are one of the reasons why I don’t but individual stocks but I rather get indices… It’s just the lack of consistency and the fact a single person can make you lose money…
Ah, how I love good news on a Monday..
More like after Elon's failed performance at the Trump rally, foreign "investors" pulled their money from Tesla
