It's funny when people cry about crypto being a scam when the entire "economy" is a casino based on genocide tokens.

aims to grow automotive sales by more than 60% in 2025.

I think this is being reported incorrectly in a lot of places.

They said the new vehicles they're launching in H1 2025 will allow them to grow 60% to the 3 million capacity they have.

They did not say in 2025, but it looked like it could be interpreted as 2025 without saying it.

Elon Musk said his team expects “an epic end of year” for the company as it aims to maintain its 50% annualized growth rate.

I don't think you are aware how crazy Musk's promises are.

You can't base their company value on the stock market ... you base it on how much power and influence they have over government.

And judging by the amount of stupidly arranged love affair they are having with the government .... they should be very highly valued.

[-] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No, you base company value on its current and future earnings.

All that government influence is useless if people stop buying your products. And it turns out lots of people don't want to buy products associated with Musk.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not in this world.

People will be pushed to buy the products. Patriotism, xenophobia, lies, economic fear and tariffs, straight up government manipulation and collusion.

That’s the value Elon has, Zuck is jealous of, Tesla and the shareholders will benefit from, and the people allow.

[-] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm sure that Musk hopes that "people will be pushed to buy" his products.

But so far, that plan isn't working. In fact it's backfiring, people are running away from his products.

So they are making bank on storage and energy, but they are allowing Trump and the EPA to ruin it? Also he makes electric vehicles and Trump and Co are trying to bring back gas guzzlers and straight pipes. Hmmm. I think Elons mouth wasn't sufficiently moist enough for trump.

I'm glad for them.

they don't make electric vehicles. they make human sized battery powered over engineered poorly designed toys that were somehow street legal.
