Excellent analysis with supporting data, thanks Gigapress.
I personally believe the master FUDsters are very aware of how huge Tesla/ SpaceX (and now Twitter most likely) are in reality now and how they will be even more so in the future.
Therein lies Tesla's possible future black swan. Corporate America (or those who really control the US) won't just stand there letting Elon grow too much in power, for the good of the world and the US. They want to continue tightening their grip on the US (and a lot of the rest of the world).
Right now they are happy fleecing Joe Public manipulating the heck out of TSLA, with the SEC and most of the US government helping out.
I won't speculate much re what that black swan could be now; some comments I left on TMC went w/o much reaction. (Practical note: I would keep a safe portion, say 20% of my investments outside TSLA, just in case).
Some tidbits of side information:
The all in approach to TSLA was good till about 2020 - afterwards it's a lot less clearcut.
For example getting into BTC was excellent till about 2017 - once GS (Goldman Sachs) entered the fray and started a BTC fund, it was game over. WS was then able to manipulate BTC's price and perception, with the SEC/ Fed policies.
Little factoid, re Ukraine: the US gov prediction at the time of the invasion was that Ukraine would fold (they were surprised Zelensky refused their offer to flee the capital).
One nagging possibility is that it was all going according to plan. Creating a huge conflict in Europe was the perfect distraction for the manufactured Covid crisis imploding on itself, and at the same time also to crash the markets, Tesla included.
That backfired big time as Ukraine proved it could hold its own against Russia, and the ensuing accelerated push for an alternative to fossil fuels.
The US big push for alternatives will help Tesla no doubt, but in reality will be helping much more the ICE, and I'm pretty sure the oil & gas industry as well.
Great work as usual Gigapress. You never disappoint. I look forward to future installments.
I would humbly recommend adding a donation option for those who’d like to chip in some $ but maybe don’t want to commit to an ongoing membership.
