Tesla stock is Over Priced

It's fair to value Elon Musk's Tesla based on revenue, which is what the Price to Sales (PS) ratio does. Here it is for the world's top 20 car companies:



Tesla's PS ratio is 45 times higher than the average of the other 19 biggest car companies. Needless to say, this makes no sense. It might make sense for a company that has some kind of patented product that it has monopoly or semi-monopoly power over, but Tesla doesn't. Quite the opposite: Every car company in the world is building electric cars and Tesla stands to face intense competition over the next decade. Even if they can keep a top position, that wouldn't justify a PS ratio of more than 2.0 at the most.

In other words, Tesla stock is overvalued by at least 10x even on a conservative basis. And for what it's worth, that means Elon Musk's wealth is probably overvalued by about 10x too. That still leaves him with $20-30 billion in Tesla wealth, which is a lot! But it doesn't make him the richest human in the world.

POSTSCRIPT: If there's a car company in the chart that you've never heard of, it's probably Chinese. Tata is Indian.

Musk just offered to buy 100% of Twitter at $54.20 per share.

Quote:

I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.

However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.

Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.

Elon Musk

I think the bad moves that Twitter is trying to make now is about a lot more than just trying to avoid losing power.

What secrets are there to uncover about election meddling? About defining the narrative and destroying any dissenting opinions to it?

This ain't the 1960's. They can't just shred documents and burn buildings down to hide what they've done.

He has some money

The British Royal Family, Rothschild and the House of Saudi are far richer

Don't go there, Elon. Dragons.

From the story you are quoting: This is not the first time Musk has taken a jab at journalists. The Tesla co-founder has repeatedly criticized the coverage of Tesla cars crashing while on autopilot. He said that coverage was "irresponsible," arguing that it could lead people to miss out on the potential of self-driven cars to be safer those operated by humans.

It is Musk who is irresponsible. He has promised to deliver a self-driving car year after year after year, but his engineers keep telling him it is not ready, but that doesn't stop Musk from promising!

January 2016 -- Tesla CEO Elon Musk tells reporters on a conference call that the Autopilot system is “probably better” than a human driver. He also promises that Teslas will be able to drive significantly better than humans within two to three years, and he says that within two years it will be possible to remotely summon a Tesla from across the country.

Jan. 20, 2016 -- Shortly after Musk’s announcement, 23-year-old Gao Yaning is killed in the province of Hebei, China, on the way home from a family wedding when the Tesla Model S he is driving crashes into the back of a street sweeper, according to a Jalopnik interview with the victim’s father. The victim’s family sues Tesla, claiming that Autopilot was in use at the time of the crash.

Musk should make his promises then add: "Believe me!" That way we'd know that he knows he is a conman.

One of these days Musk's engineers will make his promise of self-driving car come true, but only if Musk stays nuts enough to keep pouring money into that project, rather than let Waymo, Toyota, GM, Mercedes-Benz, or Ford do the work of perfecting self-driving and selling the tech to Tesla.

See what I mean, Elon?

We're on the same page regarding Free Speech. Twitter is Cancer. I appreciate what you're trying to do.

But despite your successful life so far, you are far too high profile with far too many flubs in you history to go around saying things like that.

The Legacy Media lies for a living, so between that and the fact that they also make mistakes all of the time because they rush to put out stories without knowing the details first, their track record sucks.

But assholes like Second have plenty of ammo to use against you, and you supplied them with it. He didn't even bring up the Hyperloop.

He didn't have to.
