Tesla Earnings: Falling Revenue, ’Invests’ in Elon Musk's xAI Money Furnace

from The John Johnston Lounge · host John Johnston

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the latest news about the Tesla Q4 and Full Year Earnings Update, including that Tesla is investing $2 Billion in Elon Musk’s OpenAI competitor xAI. Tesla is also discontinuing its Model X and Model X vehicles lines as it pivots to robotics and autonomous robotaxis. However, Tesla’s “unsupervised” robotaxis seem to have vanished from Austin streets, after the pre-earnings announcement of the launch of them, despite Elon saying on the earnings call that they are operating. Related episodes:Tesla: “The Biggest Bubble Possibly in Stock Market History”? https://open.spotify.com/episode/5tTiyJDPHzjaOO04nRp1fUAI Bubble: Is OpenAI Going Broke? https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xPM7mmWrmDHcRmdytpEoqDid Elon Lie About Unsupervised Robotaxis Starting in Austin? https://open.spotify.com/episode/7mmzCXDv7S7KfRm9GrqqAcDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
