Yes, you're right. The point is that there are too many "professional investors" out there and they are chasing fake companies like NKLA as well as real companies like TSLA. But at the end of the day the person with the money

It is an unfortunate aspect of capitalism. Making investments is much easier than making actual things, so more people do it. Lucky there is a counter ballance in the system . If 100% of the population started investing only, the one person

The thing that the Bitcoin people got right is that the dollar is worth less than most people realize. The government can erase much of the debt by printing money. Owning cash is a bad idea. Sure the P/E of Tesla looks like a bubble. B

Actually, people with engineering backgrounds see a huge difference between Elon and this guy. It is Wall Street who doesn't understand and is afraid to get burnt by NKLA the way other naysayers were burnt on TSLA.

It was a PR move. All major business websites had a story about the news. They would have preferred that this didn't come out and NKLA was able to create a real company, but it isn't like they shut down all their factories in anti
