Tesla is not about cars. It’s a marketing company and its product is the Tesla share price. This Twitter stunt is just one in a long line of stunts that Musk does to get attention for himself. People invest in Tesla because they want to invest in Musk as an individual.

This media hijacking is similar to the way that Trump got elected in 2016.

I bet that if SpaceX ever went public it would cause Tesla to fall as everybody who wants to invest in “Musk is a genius” would invest in SpaceX instead of Tesla.

Agreed. Also in other countries like mine where EV cars and the climate change issue and environmentalism movement that's being pedalled by the western media arent a thing, mostly Asian countries, Tesla here is more synonymous to batteries and sustainable energy. We've got a presidential election next month and some of the presidentiables, including the one who's most likely to win according to polls, are calling for more Tesla energy adoption for the country during their campaign. Musk diversified his company's products well
