    You took the wrong message from what I said.

    The stock market isn’t “wrong” - it’s the stock market. Tesla is worth what the stock market says it is, quite literally. Hype, corruption……yeah, that’s the stock market.

    You can’t just take “hype” out of the stock market because that’s one of the biggest, most essential parts of it.

      By that argument nothing is ever overvalued because apparently that’s what the stockmarket says it’s worth. But crashes still happen.

          That doesn’t mean that value is reasonable, though. The stockmarket has a rich history of hysteria and irrationality.

            It doesn’t have to be reasonable, it just has to be what the stock market values it at. That’s how valuations work.

              Are your unaware that you are arguing towards a tautology? “It’s not overvalued because this is what it’s valued”. That’s meaningless.

              If the assets, profits and projected growth do not justify the current valuation, it’s overvalued. That’s the case for Tesla.
