> What’s impressive about Tesla?

The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined.

> the other manufacturers are catching up

Re-read what you wrote, and consider how preposterous it is that automakers founded more than a century ago are now "catching up" to a company that sold its first car in 2008.

Well, Trump’s various meme coins also have a value…

But, using pricing fundamentals, can you really justify Tesla’s value anymore than OpenAIs?
