It's amazing to me that Tesla shareholders are not calling for Elon's head.
The stock lives purely on hype, and with the EV market going down the tubes, Optimus (really AI) is the new hype story. Except that Elon is actively stealing Tesla's data for his own company (xAI). He just helps himself to Tesla's GPUs, technology, and data. Tesla didn't bid out their data. They didn't sell it. Elon plundered it into a company in which he owns a larger share.
I'd never buy that stock. I'd short it in a heartbeat if I had any hope of remaining solvent longer than the market remains irrational.
The stockholders are the ones that believe the Musk hype. So that's why Tesla is a time bomb: they can't get competent leadership without destroying the stock price, and they can't meet their promises without getting competent leadership.
