Taxpayer handouts to space X will fix

That was already included in the Tesla numbers. Tons of their revenue comes from credits. This after getting government handouts that helped it get to where it is. Those federal employees making 60k to study kids cancer though........

Tesla profits down 71% since Q1 last year. Wow.

Yet the stock is up 5.22% as of rn. It's not reality. Oh sure Elon is done with Doge, and trump starting to bow to China, so let's pump this up! Don't look at the business that can't make money!

He did say he was cutting way back on the DOGE stuff.

I just updated my post but still, that isn't a sound financial basis

[Rage Against the McKee]

Yeah, I don't think people are going to go and buy a Tesla now that Elon is going to only do the DOGE stuff one day per week.

Nope

Either Tesla cracks true level 4 autonomous driving and becomes the preeminent company in the world, or the stock is still monumentally overvalued. I really don't see anything in the middle being true. And one of those options seems far more likely than the other.

I'll happily take you for a ride so you can see for yourself. Make sure your life insurance policy is up to date though.

all you have to do is watch Landman and you will see EVs are gimmicks that create more waste then they prevent.  Enough people woke up to that

It appears the g.E brain trust is better at valuing public companies than Wall St is.

If by jump you mean, sees a cloud, turns on windshield wipers and then slams on the breaks then yes.

This kind of reminds me of that time Starbucks threw themselves a parade for getting rid of plastic straws by replacing them with innovative lids…that contained more plastic than the straws they were getting rid of

At least Starbucks turns a profit and not everyone is laughing at them.  Doge is a joke
