At least as long as Musk is the CEO, perhaps. I don't think it's easy to find another charismatic figure to keep it going.

It's a different kind of hype than Nvidia has, which is showing very high and fast growing revenues (which may not continue, but they're real now). Jensen I think is not as critical to the AI hype as Elon is to his companies.

All these major tech companies eventually get leadership changes. Apple, Google, Amazon, have all done well because they're real companies and go beyond their original leadership. Tesla and SpaceX I think would surely go down the moment Musk is no longer in leadership.

majority view him unfavorably.

I think we've all seen by now that the majority doesn't much matter if you have a rabidly zealous minority.

suppose you've got me there

> majority view him unfavorably.

Indeed, but for general stock market purposes it's one dollar one vote, not one person one vote.

Possibly even worse. Short-sellers got burned on Tesla (and perhaps now also SpaceX), which may mean the marginal buyer and seller consists only of people who already buy into the hyper and by trading are sharing price info with each other rather than with a single person who doubts the man.

I sold my Tesla stocks a while back; the people who kept them don't care what people like me think.

Well I meant he has a big Twitter following and whatever he gets into many are willing to fund and so on. Like there's no way Tesla would be taken seriously for all its future ambitions and valued accordingly without Musk at the helm.

I just cancelled my cursor, which was the best for my workflow. Will need to find something else.

same just cancelled it and left Elon Musk as a reason
