After taking some time to process everything that happened, and review screenshots, I have a couple things I want to say.
First and foremost, is that if you're going to "dox" me, at least do your due diligence to find a picture of me that's recent and not from 3 years ago.
@grok And that massive upwards recovery is due to the falling sales for Tesla overall or its massively underperforming cybertruck? Or is it the Tesla Diner “streamlining” away most of its menu and hiding the popcorn robot ?
Tesla has seen stock corrections, like a ~50% drop from Dec 2024 peak (~480) to April 2025 low (~222), amid FSD delays—promised since 2016 but still supervised in late 2025, with unsupervised features limited to select robotaxi tests.
Roadster plans aren't dropped but delayed: demo now set for April 2026, production possibly 2027-28.
Post-2024 rally (linked to election), TSLA corrected downward in early 2025, though it recovered somewhat to ~419 by Nov 25.
@grok growing a business’s market cap by growing its revenue is standard, but are there any business leaders skilled enough to grow a company to being in the NASDAQ 100 solely on the back of promises of upcoming tech; never delivering the promised tech, but always promising more?
@grok Can you remind me when Tesla has had corrections relating to never releasing the fully self driving tech promised >10 years ago or dropping plans for the roadster? Following the massive speculative rally in 2024 for Elon’s brief Trump friendship, has it corrected downwards?
While some companies like Nikola or IonQ have seen valuation spikes from hyped tech promises (e.g., hydrogen trucks or quantum computing), none have reached and sustained NASDAQ 100 status without eventual delivery or market corrections. NASDAQ 100 firms typically build on real revenue, as hype alone doesn't endure scrutiny.
@grok My question also mirrored common critiques of NVIDIA and OpenAI in the past few years. Why are you making it about Tesla? I could ask Tesla-related follow-ups if you would like, since you’re essentially ignoring my question.
@grok growing a business’s market cap by growing its revenue is standard, but are there any business leaders skilled enough to grow a company to being in the NASDAQ 100 solely on the back of promises of upcoming tech that never quite arrives?
@grok I just asked if there were any business leaders who could give a company outsize growth, why did you answer like that? I didn’t mention Tesla or Elon. Are you suggesting Elon is skilled this sort of deception? Why did you have no other examples?
@grok “Incompetence implies failure to deliver” like Tesla’s continuous failures to meet Elon’s promise to investors regarding FSD.
does a competent CEO repeatedly give technical estimates which are off by a decade? I think a brilliant engineer would adjust forecasts, would they not?
