Bet on the stock falling, stock fell, made profits. I'm not a degenerate gambler yet so I've been staying away from options, but shorts when a stock is overheated I'm fine with. In hindsight, I should've sold NVDA when they were up around $150, but my average cost per share is in the $40s and I have a soft spot for them

Just wanted to point out that given TSLA's current valuation, 10x-ing from here would require the company to be valued at just under half of US GDP.

Correct. Tesla is chasing a TAM which is at minimum 10x more than Apple could be 100x more. But that's just my thoughts what is your Tesla stock price target give a number what's the highest it will ever go.

Lawfare against Tesla and Elon has consequences.

What happens if he doesn't? I assume cage match of some kind.

This giant GPU cluster cooler has me so disappointed they aren't using the massive heat output to drive a steam turbine.

I've seen Zukerberg training in Ju Jitsu, and he's actually pretty good. So old man Bezos better watch himself.

Lot of wasted heat that can be reused

Well I hate it all that wasted energy.

This will be cool, and Jay Leno is looking better since he "fell down a hill".

When something is already hypervalued (they need roughly 15x their current revenues to justify their current price), I have no idea how to predict how much farther it will swing in that direction before either A) it comes back to reality or B) reality rises to meet it. Though there's absolutely a real company here with real business serving real markets, and significant potential in other markets, there's also an element of meme-ness and the general current euphoria with tech/AI that is a significant contributor to the sky-high valuation. Those are both difficult to quantify, and difficult to predict.

I know that feels like a non-answer. But that's also why I don't invest in individual stocks. You could be right and it could 10x. I would still be right that no single US company is actually worth 47% of US GDP. But that's what bubbles do. 40 years ago, Tokyo real estate was worth $139,000 per square foot, which is $400,000/sqft in today's money. The Imperial Palace was worth more than California.

Tesla stock should be $25?

Optimus and Robotaxi is hardware leveraging AI not some in the cloud chatbot. But I get it you think Tesla is mostly a speculative stock, a bubble stock basically.
