I beg to differ - GE is not an energy company, it's a multinational conglomorate heavily involved also in a dozen other fields like oil&gas, aviation, healthcare, home appliances, finance, research and transportation.
GE Healthcare alone employs >40 000 people and does >4x the revenue of Tesla today.
Maybe if Tesla merged with SpaceX and also with five-six other large companies you'd be about right.
Fair enough (though I'd think the oil & gas you mention would count), but look at any energy company today and you'll see similar numbers. Another poster in this thread compares to Exxon; similarly favorable.
You may not think Tesla will make it there, and you might turn out to be right. But those that do are optimistic; not stupid.
