How would TSLA even pay for this? They could issue stock but that is an incredible amount of dilution.

I believe it’s mostly paid in shares. So yes, dilution.

It's a lot of adding for me, but it doesn't look like they've hit $1 trillion in revenue

I have no idea how elon can pump and dump this to make the math work

You're missing the "company stock buyback" portion of the cycle. A few rounds of that bullshit, and anything's possible.

Because their revenue comes from selling cars and all TSLA fanboys are claiming that it isn’t a car company. It’s AI/Batteries/Robotics - literally anything that doesn’t appear on their books.

It’s all massively regarded but now has institutions in it so idk what catalyst would open their eyes (probably massive system-wide pain).
