    Just say you don’t want to bet instead of forcing me to read an idiotic reply.

    I literally repeated back to you what you said. No wonder you thought it nonsense.

    First it was a car company that couldn't make money so it became a robo taxi service then it became a battery company and then a robotic company now the hard sell by Musk is back to robo taxi. What year do you see $600 and based on what product line?

    Build cars with robots. No union. That's the next dream being sold when robo taxi revenue isn't as projected. Just keep waiting...just keep waiting...

    That’s fine, but I think md’s point is that robots do not need to be in humanoid form factor. My company uses robots to stack pallets but they are not humanoid, rather a robotic arm which performs the task quite well. If we get robots to move the pallets they do not need to be humanoid form factor either; a simple boxy robot like those Amazon uses would perform the function quite well.

    You should short the stock then. You are a guaranteed winner. I see the stock hitting $600 sometime in 2026 (likely early 2026) which is why I have LEAPS ranging from a strike of 300 to 550 expiring in Jan 2027.

    The company’s worth over a trillion dollars. You are acting like it’s Enron.

    Do you think the P/E is realistic?

    Do you think Palintirs P/E is realistic? I recall in 2015 when Tesla was trading at around 250-300 that analysts had a price target of 80 on the stock due to valuation.

    My thesis is the E will expand exponentially once they monetize Robotaxis and Humanoids. If you disagree that’s fine. I’m not investing my money for you.

    Well it's a good thing it's not a car company because Musk has trashed that part of it. No one wants to buy a car from him. I'd expect he'll screw up his robot company and his robotaxi company too. He's a buffoon. Speaking of Robotaxis, I've yet to see one on the road here in Austin. I see Waymos all over the place.

    Yeah, I am not sure why Tesla is supposed to be the best company to deliver Robotaxis. Obviously, they have a lot of experience building cars, but, apparently they aren't a car company, which excuses the fact that they are already behind BYD and the other Chinese producers in that market (and continuing to fall behind very rapidly). So I am trying to figure out what assets they possess that give them an advantage over Waymo/Google, who has access to unmatched data, or Uber, who has an existing platform with an installed base. Maybe the installed network of chargers, but that shouldn't be too hard to replicate with enough scale of usage via robotaxis.

    In other words, he completely failed to do what he arrogantly said he could do easily. What a fool.

    Elon Musk, returning to SpaceX on Tuesday for a test flight of his Starship spacecraft, said in an interview that slashing the size of federal government proved far tougher than he expected and lamented the intense criticism leveled at the U.S. DOGE Service, which he has led.

    Lot of folks on here with EDS. I hope you all yell at the sky as the stock makes me money. Whether you like him or not; to call him a buffoon is completely ridiculous.

    Palantir is disrupting the business model though. They are building weapons systems and then offering to sell them. Not commissioned to develop, spend tons of money, be sole supplier. Tesla sold robotaxi to get their pe, haven't delivered. palantir is delivering systems and the market is oh so fat with legacy companies bloated to the gills.
