How is the stock up with all this happening? It sounds like 50% drop in sales world wide. It has to correct eventually right?

Diogenes256 2025-11-05 17:29

Really is puzzling, isn’t it?

_AntiZ 2025-11-05 17:48

My guess is the stock price is propped up by the Saudis..

Pleasant_Pie_6843 2025-11-05 17:50

I can totally see a foreign actor propping the stock up, but why do you think the Saudis specifically?

Dan Ives is saying an investment in xai will make them an AI powerhouse. That's all it takes for the stock.

They always get super weak sales in month following the last month of the quarter so it's very unlikely to be a drop of 50% for the whole quarter. That being said, it's weak relative to october last hear so it's still bad news.

This title is so misleading. "Making Musk a trillionaire". The pay package they're voting on has a whole bunch of insane and likely impossible benchmarks about the valuation of the company in order to earn the reward. It's not like the board takes a vote, and Elon just gets a $1,000,000,000,000 wire the next day. The whole company is build on a giant mountain of lies and fraud. Its current valuation is utterly ridiculous, the idea of it being worth 10 x as much is beyond hilarity.

Not if you recognize it as the meme stock it’s become.

Normal-Selection1537 2025-11-05 19:51

Musk along with all the other tech bros is talking about AI. That keeps expanding that totally not a bubble. It's like futuretech, dude, and it will change every paradigm and shit.

GarlicSweaty4987 2025-11-05 19:53

This is manipulation by Elon and friends. Think it is being propped up for the vote

I’m tired, boss

Gotta pump the bags, pretty much his full time jerb

Common-Violinist-305 2025-11-05 20:53

be aware

GoldenBunip 2025-11-05 21:05

I suspect the inevitable bubble bursting crash will start with Tesla.

Economy-System1922 2025-11-05 23:03

I'm not OP but one thing that comes to mind is they helped musk buy twitter.

Queasy_Donkey5685 2025-11-05 23:10

Saudis man, they're pumping it up to diversify from oil and buy into the US political system.

Diogenes256 2025-11-06 00:23

Yeah, I think there’s more to it than “meme stock”.

mikefjr1300 2025-11-06 01:31

The cult thinks its not a car company but a tech company with inferior tech no less despite the majority of sales and profit coming from car sales. FSD is inferior and will likely never perform as Musk claims. His robots are far behind others capabilities. Powerwall sales are up but its not a major profit driver Boring company is going nowhere Haven't heard much about Neuralink lately but the thought of anything to do with Musk and my brain is a non-starter and its a private company anyway. Yet now he is talking about a flying car and they are all fawning at his feet again. Can't wait to see how the auto pilot works on that.

IBM296 2025-11-06 02:15

2 reasons. 1) They want to diversify from oil. 2) They want to buy into the US political system.

killerklancy 2025-11-06 04:50

Thank you can't believe in bit seeing this comment everywhere!!!

killerklancy 2025-11-06 04:51

💯 💶 💯 💶

Skotland85 2025-11-06 05:42

Well, that’s why he’s already talking about “flying cars”. Has to give his stock holders a carrot at the end of the stick. One day they will find out - there’s no carrot.

No_Hovercraft_3954 2025-11-06 05:47

Why is the Tesla share price so artificially high?

alt-right-del 2025-11-06 07:39

You mean all the benchmarks that Musk missed over the years and still got a pay out?

StinkPickle4000 2025-11-06 09:04

They helped him buy twitter and then he wrote it down by almost half that year! It wouldn’t surprise me if SMB goes all Keshoghi on Musk one day…

StinkPickle4000 2025-11-06 09:05

Half the market is in TSLA tho!! 😱

Here’s the thing about musk. He’s trying to gather as much money as he can to put people on Mars. I don’t even know if it’s possible why do you think he has a boring Company electric car company a robots rockets satellites all things necessary to inhabit Mars. He’s not trying to gain money to buy a Lamborghini or a mansion, actually trying to help humanity. When you invest in musk, you investing in future technologies, AI NeuroLink.

Pancheel 2025-11-06 16:26

He isn't doing anything to reach Mars yet and his time is running out, he thought he could live forever in a computer with neuralink but how is that going? If he gets more money it will be to keep trying to make him a robot, Mars is far away.

sik_dik 2025-11-06 19:11

Elon is a fantastic example of why trickle down economics is utter bullshit. People don’t cap out at how much they want to make and then start putting the money back into the businesses to increase wages and benefits. They just want more

CookieChoice5457 2025-11-06 20:50

I am really really sorry to say, but Tesla China sales have recovered quite well. Europe sales are looking up aswell and Q3 of this year was the most sales Tesla ever had in any quarter ever... They're massively behind their growth trajectory of 2022 and 2023, but they are selling nearly 2 million vehicles a year and are in a very healthy financial state. Tesla has roughly 40b $ in cash and cash equivalents. They run Tesla about as fiscally conservative as you can. Tesla is quasi debt free (pretty much all other automakers in the world are many 10s to well above 100b $ in debt). Whatever you ohantasize about. Tesla will not go bankrupt. They have enough means to weather several years of actual sales declines. And that doesn't even factor in that they would cut 20% of their employees in a whim, if the company was in any danger to even melt off a small part of their huge cash pile.

CookieChoice5457 2025-11-06 20:51

Welcome to reddit bud. Q3 2025 Tesla sold.mlre cars world wide than in any quarter ever...  You'd know this with one brief Google search (or ask an AI of your choice). But you come here to be gaslit and lied to by reposts of click bait headlines.

RR321 2025-11-07 13:25

Using the bubble money to buy Tesla with other companies?

SirLanceQuiteABit 2025-11-09 19:44

At deep discounts, with government subsidies, and with horrifically low margins and collapsing growth.
