    We all know that Musk and all the other technoplutocrats would settle for a different Damon movie.

    So Tesla let it's lead slip away and got out engineered and out designed. I guess too bad for the investors.

    From what I understand, Tesla had a long term playbook that existed even before Musk entered the picture and they mostly followed it until Musk got sidelined by his personal ventures (self driving, semi trucks, Cybertruck...) and didn't come out with the playbook's next car, the cheap version that might have brought Tesla's brand to the common folk. Musk has bet the future of the company on Cybercab which makes sense from a tech-bro perspective (they want people to rent everything and own nothing) but it isn't clear it can happen.

    So he has a lack of focus and discipline that he could indulge when Tesla was making money. You'd think the company didn't have a board of directors.
    So Musk has all of the racism of Henry Ford with none of the discipline.

    Yeah - Cyber Truck was a major screwup as that was supposed to be the flagship model that would grab market share in a popular premium category.

    But it's funny if you listen to the analysts, they are basing their valuation off of Elrond cracking AI + Robotics on a 'who would beat against him' basis - which is bizarre given Tesla has no actual products

    Given xAi seems to have been rolled into SpaceX, it's hard to see what actual IP Tesla has that people are investing in
