    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.

      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.

        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.
