Tesla stock selloff after robotaxi event could be just the beginning, pros warn
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla...155630131.html

Quote:
In a note to clients, Bernstein’s Toni Sacconaghi reiterated his belief that Tesla’s valuation is disconnected from fundamentals, writing the robotaxi event was “short on immediate deliverables or incremental revenue drivers.”

Sacconaghi estimated that Tesla’s automotive business is worth around $200 billion, suggesting that nearly $600 billion of its valuation hinges on its less proven ventures, including Full Self Driving (FSD), robotaxis, and humanoid robots.
Saw another of those idiotic cybertrucks today. What a dumb vehicle.

Musk is jockeying by his support to be the head of Trump's Department of Transportation. Czar Elon the first. Or in charge of Nasa or both....


So any setback now will be temporary if Trump wins.

Elon Musk goes big in 2024 campaign with $75 million for Trump and other Republicans
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-...132345924.html

Elon, of course, wants to ensure that huge, 100% or higher tariffs will be imposed on imported EVs. Because being a multi-billionaire just isn't enough.

The world’s biggest battery maker says Elon Musk’s 4680 cell ‘is going to fail’
https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/14/...musk-4860-cell

Quote:
Robin Zeng, the founder of the world’s largest EV battery company, says Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s big bet on 4680 cylindrical cell technology “is going to fail and never be successful.” Zeng, the chairman of China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), tells Reuters that when Musk visited China in April, “We had a very big debate, and I showed him. He was silent. He doesn’t know how to make a battery.”

The founder of China's CATL announcing that Tesla's bet on 4680 battery is going to "fail".

Seems like games.

Well, I guess it's a good thing that he was born in South Africa.....

https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/la...ent-rcna180196

"It seems clear Musk has bottomless ambitions. The South African-born tech billionaire is barred from running for high office by the Constitution because he’s not a native-born U.S. citizen. So this is as close as he is going to get and he seems to be making the most of it.

We’ve joked darkly about Musk setting himself up as a sort of co-president but it’s not just us. Two people familiar with the transition now tell NBC News that Musk may be overstaying his welcome in Trump world.

“He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one of those people said."
