>but since 1990-2000 companies that reinvested all their money into R&D and gave back 0 dividends Did you know you can see exactly how much companies are spending on R&D and reinvesting in the company in a company's financial statements? Did you know that Tesla invests a relatively small amount in R&D, and that the number has been stagnant for years? They barely spend enough to cover maintenance on their current facilities. Have you compares this to other auto companies? Where do people get this idea that Tesla generates massive cash that it reinvests back into the company (a la Amazon)?
