That is an interesting argument. My gut disagrees but purely rationally, I can't find any fault with it. This is something I will be pondering.

That (and the related sibling's comments) is a fair argument, but admittedly not what thought when I first pictured the term "mobbing". For anyone actually affected by Robinhood, I think leaving 1-star rating it is absolutely

I was indeed referring to market cap, but even acknowledging the sibling comments and going by enterprise value, the situation still appears incredulous for a company that is, as of yet, an emerging car manufacturer, a possible FSD contende

Revenues of $10.7bn are a notable improvement. However, even if one would add a zero to that number, it would be less than VW's and Toyota's combined revenue, yet Tesla is valued almost three times as much as those companies combi

What a wholly unremarkable number. For comparison, that's about 2.5 weeks' worth of deliveries for VW. And yet, this is the 6th most valuable company in the US; worth more than Intel, AMD, and Nvidia combined.

Tesla's market cap is now equal to that of Nvidia ($320bn), AMD ($100bn) and VW ($95bn) combined. And Nvidia's (which now includes ARM) and AMD's valuations themselves were already sky-high.
