I agree. but some people look at Tesla more then just a car company. You can argue its more of a tech company. Or alternative energy company. Obviously their bread and butter is selling cars. You might be right about the shocks and whatnot - but what about their software? Then they're also into solar panels and battery packs (although a small portion of their business today). They have charging stations. They even have a freaking robot they're working on. Who knows if that'll ever work out or make money tho. And they're even talking about a Tesla cellphone. That Tesla phone could be a game changer IMO. The thing about Elon Musk is that he owns so many other huge companies. Space X. Star link. Twitter. The Boring Company. Idk if it'd make financial sense for him with Star Link but he already said he'd integrate it with Teslas and Cellphones. What if he decides only Tesla cars and Tesla Cellphones can link to Star link? Can he do that? Would he do that? I'd imagine he'd make more money allowing everyone to - but that'd almost be game over if not. If you could have hi speed internet in your car and on your phone wherever you are in the world - why would you buy anything else? Screw my shitty android that doesn't work half the time. I'd imagine he'd just want as many users as possible tho. The point being - Tesla is more then a car company. And Elon has the ability to prop one company up with another. It's almost too much power for one person to have. Now he even owns a freaking social media company which is a lot bigger then most people think.

You're not just betting on Tesla. You're betting on Elon.
