The end is nigh. Tesla stock will likely be next to worthless in a month or two. I think the tell was in the name Musk selected for the company... Nikola Tesla was a genius, but also a failure.

Tesla definitely was not a failure.

He was a physicist, not an entrepreneur.

Notably it is his work and plans that we employ today to distribute electricity.

Musk has propped his stock up with government mandates.

I used to play in ethanol. Had a great time. Loved the work. Got tired of being a government employee without the benefits.

When Tesla did a mass layoff of 700 people for “performance”, I suspected that it was something more. His cash burn rate is high, and his sales low. He is banking on the EV mandate.

Tesla was not a failure.

What he needed was a partner to run his business while he got on with inventing things.
