"$TSLA 2Q earnings are due next Wed 7/23.

"Per Grok: Trump cant just fire Fed Chair Powell. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 stipulates that members of the Feds Board of Governors including the chair can only be removed for cause typically interpreted as misconduct inefficiency or malfeasance not policy disagreements. No president has ever successfully removed a Fed chair and the laws for cause requirement is supported by the 1935 Supreme Court ruling in Humphreys Executor v. United States which upheld protections against firing independent agency officials for policy differences. While some legal scholars suggest that while removing"

"$TSLA now trades at a forward P/E of 180x. In the history of the stock market we cant find a single $1T market cap company that traded at a forward P/E of 180x (we even asked Grok with no success). Why not The long-term growth rate needed to justify a 180x P/E would cause TSLA market cap to be bigger than $AAPL and $MSFT which seems insane since both have huge TAMs unassailable brands and highly predictable future cash flow streams. TSLA bulls who pretend they understand finance dismiss my argument that TSLAs valuation looks stretched by saying the 2025 P/E is irrelevant. Rule #1 in investing"

"Getting asked by a few followers today. Posted on Subscribers early this morning. Yesterday we sold the remainder of our $TSLA position at $358/share. This is the first time since 2021 we have not owned TSLA. As in late-November which is the last time we reduced our TSLA position after TSLAs post election run-up we believe TSLAs valuation has become disconnected from underlying fundamentals. Our main concern is that TSLA now sells at a 2025 P/E of 188x as earnings estimates continue to fall (-5% in the past week -XX% YTD) driven by weak YTD deliveries including weak April results.

"From Grok: Baidus Apollo Go robotaxi service is projected to achieve profitability in 2025 driven by cost reductions from its sixth-generation robotaxi (priced at $28000 XX% cheaper than its predecessor) and operational efficiencies such as fully autonomous operations and automated depot processes.

"Tesla Braces for Rough Quarters Ahead as US Ends EV Incentives By Kara Carlson 07/24/2025 03:31:39 (Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk warned of difficult times ahead for $TSLA after one of the automakers worst quarters in over a decade. Tesla will be in a transition period for the next year or more losing electric vehicle incentives in the US and needing time to roll out autonomous vehicles the chief executive officer said. We probably could have a few rough quarters Musk said. But once you get to autonomy at scale in the second half of next year certainly by the end of next year I would be surprised"

"$TSLA putting a potential TSLA/xAI (which includes X) merger to a shareholder vote is the fairest way to resolve this. Institutions would generally oppose it on dilution grounds (12-15% dilution; uncertain incremental earnings; conglomerate discount) while retail investors would likely support it. Not sure why Elon would want to sell xAI now since xAI likely to grow much faster than TSLA over next X years. Acquisition by TSLA would allow Elons stake in TSLA to increase to 20%"

"Some $TSLA bulls are hilarious. No worries if the new more affordable vehicle isnt a new form factor - just cut costs and price and make it another Model Y trim and it will sell like hotcakes. Too bad any new volume will cannibalize higher-priced Model Y trims rather than add incremental volume. Remember what happened in 2023-2024 when TSLA cut prices: Volumes stagnated as competitors all matched the price cuts avg price per unit sank 15-20% and earnings were decimated. I know lets not confuse everyone with numbers. On autonomy TSLA stock has performed poorly since the Austin robotaxi launch"

"Per Grok: Trump cant just fire Fed Chair Powell. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 stipulates that members of the Feds Board of Governors including the chair can only be removed for cause typically interpreted as misconduct inefficiency or malfeasance not policy disagreements. No president has ever successfully removed a Fed chair and the laws for cause requirement is supported by the 1935 Supreme Court ruling in Humphreys Executor v.

"$TSLA now trades at a forward P/E of 180x. In the history of the stock market we cant find a single $1T market cap company that traded at a forward P/E of 180x (we even asked Grok with no success). Why not The long-term growth rate needed to justify a 180x P/E would cause TSLA market cap to be bigger than $AAPL and $MSFT which seems insane since both have huge TAMs unassailable brands and highly predictable future cash flow streams.

Remember what happened in 2023-2024 when TSLA cut prices: Volumes stagnated as competitors all matched the price cuts avg price per unit sank 15-20% and earnings were decimated.
