To be fair, Elon has missed his margins on Tesla for the past 20 consecutive quarters, yet investors keep shoveling money into promises, hopes, and dreams.

I'm a cash-flow guy, though and I'm just not seeing it...yet
Definitely a magician

He is a force doing great things for Our Future.
Actually, I don't think he's that many regulatory road blocks considering the size of the giants he's gone up against - that's more of a surprise, but rather a good one - BUT suspect!

What does shock me is how he's able to consistently miss earnings, run his bottom line in the red quarter-over-quarter, provide lofty assumptions for growth and profitability that have yet to come to fruition and still secure insane amounts of capital.

I also think that Tesla is going to end up adopting this "Throw-away" culture we've gotten used to (think iPhone). Every couple years you need a new one because ...

The only other capital phenomenon I've seen like this is Amazon. They produce razor thin margins ~<1%ish and would post QoQ negative profits (prior to the past few years) and still their stock would (and continues to) soar.

Not anymore he's not.

Anyone who expresses less than 100% hatred for Trump immediately loses cool points on Reddit.

So you mostly dislike him based on an ideology, which is rooted in identity. This identity game if played out reveals a real lack of clarity on the human experience.
