Summary
In this insightful clip, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap break down Tesla’s recent, shocking earnings report—a staggering 71% drop in net income for Q1 2025. Despite falling vehicle deliveries, dipping automotive revenue, and mounting struggles in China, the U.S., and Europe, Tesla’s stock price went up. How does that make sense?
The hosts dig deep into the surprising market reaction, discussing the key reason for the stock surge: Elon Musk’s claim that he’ll be stepping back from his distractions (like Dogecoin and Starlink) and refocusing on Tesla. But is that enough to restore investor faith? The trio questions whether Musk’s “I’ll do better” pledge can truly turn things around—especially when Tesla’s facing tough competition, technical stagnation, and missed milestones with vehicles like the Model Y and Cybertruck.
Tune in for a candid conversation about CEO privilege, market psychology, and the future of Tesla as both a car company and a tech company. Is Tesla about to regain its edge, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end of its dominance?
Drop your thoughts in the comments—do you think Tesla’s bounce-back is sustainable, or is this just a temporary show of confidence in Elon?
