With Musk winning back his $1T pay plan and doubling down on Robotaxi, Tesla looks less like an automaker and more like a belief system.

Earlier analysis showed how the choice between Model 2 and Robotaxi wasn’t just a business decision it was about maintaining a valuation tied to imagination.

Curious what others here think: is Tesla’s brand of narrative leadership still an advantage, or does it signal fragility?

When all is told, I'd bet that the key ingredients are that Musk is a messianic figure to men with Robin Hood accounts, and there are some financial shenanigans going on with investors that are sympathetic to his politics.

He just needs to buy a sports team or three to pick up the remaining sports gamblers who haven't joined the cult yet.
