Also, Tesla just jumped bc Musk said that there’s going to be full sell driving in china…. Next year…
We’re back to 2017-era strategies but in china this time.
Tesla lost their innovator / first mover advantage years ago, choosing to spend their R&D on dead ends and vanity projects like autopilot and the cybertruck while not delivering on projects that might have merit if they would actually listen to their target audience like the semi.

I'm personally hoping that their general fascist incompetence will fuck their chances of an everlasting reich.
That’d be best for the company long-term but they’d have to survive the inevitable lawsuits first, not to mention the high likelihood of physical violence if Musk tweets about it. I think the board are basically sitting around praying that the horse learns to sing before they’re forced to act.
Starlink's international prospects are getting trashed. Meanwhile, its competitors have basically free money from foreign governments to compete with SpaceX.
