...and if you look at lithium producers, almost all of their stocks have had a major run up with the Tesla hype. Haven't slowed down yet.

Doesn't mean it isn't all going to come crashing down

The problem is that Musk is actually delivering on what he says he will.

You gotta admit that what he is doing is pretty amazing overall Literally no one else did some of the things he has done until he started doing it, and most are imitating/playing catch up to this day.

It's ok to admit when you are wrong. I have no dog in a fight over investing, but I don't think Musk is all hype. Naive? Glass is half-full? Believer? Sure. But he isn't advocating vapor-ware or hopes and dreams.

Musk does two incredibly important things well. 1) Communicate and 2) Advertise.

I'm hugely impressed by him.

However, to think that Tesla as a corporation is worth more than Ford Motor Co, just boggles my mind. I truly don't understand how the world works if this is the reality these days.

Probably a good thing I don't pick my own investments anymore.

Zzz...

Compare against SHOP for the last year.

Compare against SW for the last year.

TECK blows all three out of the water. COAL FOREVER!

No, we didn't. With the way the USD is tracking and Tesla prices pegged to USD, the value just isn't there anymore, even with used ones. New is just out of the question, there's a lot more choices at $215k than an almost loaded P100D Model S.

I think Musk is hype, but I do think it's warranted as what he is doing is pretty remarkable.

However, I wouldn't touch it from an investment standpoint

If you gave me billions, you know what I'd do? Two chicks at the same time.

Now we can tell you are just being irrational. He basically brought the electric car segment to the masses, is pulling off space travel in ways governments couldn't even do, and his battery storage system is clearly in demand What more do you want from the guy? He's basically as real of a deal as it gets.

Is he the best? I'd never deify anyone in that manner. But he certainly isn't some piece of crap like you make him out to be.

On top of all of that, it appears that he basically did it all himself. Like I said, what more could you ask from a person?

Genuine questions:

1) Why does Tesla being worth more than FOMOCO boggle the mind?

2) Do you think Apple/Facebook/Google/Uber have value?

Tesla is a company that actually makes stuff. Not just tells bits and bytes to do certain things which anyone can replicate.

I personally find it mind boggling that software companies are worth so much, producing nothing with actual, inherent value. But that is just my opinion. Like I said, when it comes to investing, I have very little experience to go off of, I am very open to people's opinions.

Edit-
Well, found this article:

I think the term "investing" says it all. People are expecting Tesla to become huge, and that seems currently like a probable bet to make. So they are investing in it. Ford?

Is it a risky bet? Sure, what isn't? Yahoo was a risky bet, who soared, and then ultimately crashed.
