Who knows. Maybe they realize the stock is already overpriced and they don't want to jinx it. I'm still in awe of the fall musk made in the public consciousness. He went from the guy who wanted to change the world and help end fossil fuel consumption to someone who paid 40+ billion to make a safe space for Internet trolls... Crazy.
I think anyone who has even the slightest idea of how the market works knows Tesla is grossly overvalued. Obviously it's nowhere near the whole story, but when their market cap is nearly 20× that of Ford's with ½ the revenue, something is fucky
I'm still more in awe how he could keep up that futurist facade for so long.
Elmo literally sued the real founders of Tesla in order to be able to call himself a founder.
It goes back as far as his school career, where he was too dumb to get his degree in physics, but because of a generous donation was able to get it 2 years after he left.
So I believe people can be incredibly complex. I think Elon truly wants to improve the world. I also think he is not someone who is overburdened with an abundance of virtue. I want to be the kind of person who always hopes someone who is mistaken will eventually see the error of their ways and change course. I'm not very optimistic though.
