It is truly nuts. Though I have already trained myself to have a “no regrets” philosophy regarding this stuff. The company I work for has had roughly 35,000% growth since I joined. I did well enough but if I had held onto all of my grants? I haven’t even done the math but it would have been a lot.
The stock price doesn’t make sense except in the context of COVID, but nevertheless it does seem to indicate that the market isn’t impressed with Tesla’s competition.

So people looking for anywhere to shove their cash look toward business that still seem to have growth potential, like Tesla.
