EXCELLENT!.., and that is/was up to the shareholders. Not a shareholder?, then your opinion's meaningless in the scheme of things.

This is a stupid headline.

Might as well put it as 10Trillion, I mean if we're going to get upset.

This must really grind the Canadians that need to turn over their land deeds to the First Nations tribes.

I have lots of opinions about stocks that I don't own, or no longer hold, or might hold in the future. All investors do, it's called due diligence.

tardSarge musta spent all his money on Pabst and doesn't invest. So his opinion doesn't matter.

Elon claims Tesla is an AI company, but he already has an AI company xAI. Tesla is going all in on Robotaxi and robots. Neither venture will be profitable enough to justify a multi-trillion valuation.

Waymo is worth around 50 billion and is years ahead of Tesla in the driverless transport market. Elon's taxis remain under human supervision.

Elon's robots also do not have the potential for such high valuations of Tesla. The idea that households will spend tens of thousands of dollars for a robot, plus presumably hundreds or thousands per year for the software updates, just so they don't have to fold their clothes is ridiculous. Even if they did, it's not enough to justify such high valuation. Factories and assembly lines are already using robotics and have been for decades, so no game changer there.

Tesla is already massively overvalued solely because of Musk's cult following. The current stock price has nothing to do with fundamentals.

"Not a shareholder?, then your opinion's meaningless in the scheme of things."

You're right.

I'll just short for no reason at all.

Indication of upside down tax policy.

No kidding, especially considering the billions in taxpayer subsidies given to Musk's companies in conjunction with his complaints about his own tax dollars.

I'm so tired of people being enamored with this tool.

How far does one have to have their head up their own a&& to think this guy is anything more than a smooth-talking moron?

I agree 100% that it was up to the shareholders.

I do have a disagreement, however, that my opinion is meaningless in the scheme of things.

My concern "in the scheme" of things" is the out-of-proportion salaries and perks given to CEOS lately while the workers that provide them with that wealth have concerns about putting food on the table.

We can't allow a handful of people to continue to control such a huge chunk of the wealth of our country. It is completely unsustainable.

People who drive around with those "I bought one before we knew Elon was nuts" are just ------- ignorant and proud of it. The guy's been a ---------- since he arrived on the scene.
