Has it all really been just one giant grift to steal every Americans social security number.
And what would he do with them?
Why would musk love to identify (or at a minimum, but a huge chilling effect on) labor board whistleblowers? The world may never know.

That might be a little extreme. Tesla is making electric cars and robots. These are very much things of the future. GameStop is buying and selling used games, which is becoming impossible as consoles keep pushing for digital games. GameStop requires a major shift in their business model to stay relevant, while Tesla just needs to hope the public doesn’t reject the idea of electrics cars out of stubbornness or politic…
Electric cars, maybe. Tesla is valued much larger than the rest of the auto industry combined though. Humanoid robots? Ain’t nobody made the business case for that. It is pure vibes.

Their autonomous taxi program is a joke right now, especially compared to Waymo. Way fewer cities/rides, and they haven't even deployed their cybertaxi thing.

I am confused about what Tesla is doing. They have effectively two automobile products now with one failed product (cybertruck). reading various articles about this doesn't make it more clear. Do they not want to be a car company?
I don’t think they have. Humanoid robots are a bad joke. But that’s why they are pivoting.

> The unnamed employees secretly conferred with a political advocacy group about a request to match Social Security data with state voter rolls to "find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States," the filing said. It remains unclear whether any data actually went to this group.

So is the new roadster just not happening?
“we’re hoping to debut [next gen roadster] in April, hopefully. It’s gonna be something out of this world.”

Tesla is a meme stock in a similar manner to GME. You cannot bet against them even if they have incredibly unsure future prospectives because there are too many believers who will buy any dips.
The Elon hate is really creating a blind spot for many people here. You can’t just compare Tesla to a meme stock when the founder’s side gig is launching and landing orbital rockets - a feat that even the most technologically advanced nation states have failed to accomplish. Come on people, use a little critical thinking skills.
But I will concede the founder's other side gigs would appear to have significantly affected its sales

IF they work (and that is a massive, massive if), every factory on earth will replace every human with them. It’s inevitable, the only question is how many years until it happens: 2, 5, 10, 50? Place your bets!
Do think factories are still mostly humans on assembly lines?
But I toured an auto assembly plant of a major US OEM recently and there were a ton of humans on the line.
Unions will be an issue, but all the OEMs are walking dead anyway.
Are they betting Robotaxi will replace all cars in the future?

Tesla's valuation is not related to their production of cars or robots.
refrigirators then? some other household appliances? what exactly is “thing de jour” tesla is today?!
Tesla's valuation has no grounding in any physical goods it manufactures.
