I do not understand the P/E at all. It feels to me like a screaming red flag. If I'd been in front of this, holding long, I would be walking to other investment now and only looking to buy when the inevitable corrections come. But I don't hold directly and nobody I know who does feels the way i do about the P/E so.. I just don't understand.
Can you think of any non tech business where a P/E like this was not a signal of corporate diseased thinking?

- techgnosis 10mo agoBloom Energy (BE). It's PE is higher than TSLA but I don't think it's culty, we just need power badly and people see that. I could be wrong. I hold BE shares.

- QuantumGood 10mo agoFor this kind of desirable (to early stock owners still holding) P/E you need a story stock. Elon has proven great at telling tech-based stories.
