As Tesla car sales faltered, Musk delivered an optimistic pivot: Tesla isn’t a car company.
This is a decent summary of the earnings call. The car sales were down and boring. Elon didn’t like talking about those. Instead, the bulk of the earnings call was on Robotaxis, AI, and Optimus (bipedal robot).
Yes, a throwaway line on Model 2 was also mentioned, but its unclear what the specific plans for that are. Cybertruck and Tesla Semi were also discussed, but not Roadster.
Tesla has been a success because of Elon.
He told bigger lies more consistently than anyone else. The media gobbled it up. And the money came in.
I don’t think there’s much more to it than that ?
Lying and cheating pays big if you’re rich when you start.
It always has. Why would it change now?
