i'm telling you that the vast majority really don't give a fuck about what musk has to say on twitter. and even if they did, that wouldn't be to the extent where it would affect their buying decisions. it's only the vocal minorities who are skewing the public perception
A lot of Tesla's appeal is because of Musk selling himself as the "Real World Tony Stark" and making huge claims, but now that he's the boy who cried wolf...
That's not a hard prediction to make. Tesla's valuation has always been about Musk's exaggerated promises about the future than the actual quality of the cars. It has also been about the capital investment on batteries and super factories. Most analysts agree with you that Tesla is overvalued and prompt for a correction. The issue is when and by how much the correction will be.
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
