$TSLA will underperform the MAG 6 on average over the next 5 & 10 years. It sells hardware, has no pricing power, low incremental margin, low gross margin and low ROIC. Autonomous and Humanoid will not change this. Inherently a low quality business on a P/E of ~250x. A 🧵1/25
$TSLA structurally has a low gross margins as it is a hardware company, has no pricing power, inflationary input costs and competes in commoditized markets (automotive, energy storage). Autonomous and Optimus might increase it to low 20% in the long run. 2/x

Revenue growth at $PLTR is mostly lacking high growth software peers at similar stages of revenue (year of $1bn revenue = Y1). This helps frame the valuation comparison in this thread. Forward years based on consensus estimates. A🧵1/9
$PLTR – Once you reach $5bn revenue (end 2026 for PLTR) nobody has managed to sustain growth much about 25% p.a. for more than ~ 5 years. Growth at PLTR will thus likely slow at that time. 2/9

$TSLA – Can we all stop debating the fundamentals. It is all one big game of punting 0DE options creating tremendous spikes of buying pressure. A look 8-Nov-24 where Zero Day call options equaled 166% of the stocks volume and total call options volume equaled 321%! 1/10
$TSLA – The above chart shows how as the share price increases the volume progressively moved to higher and higher Zero Day strikes after a massive push with the $300 and $305 at the open and the $317.5 and $320 dominating the mid-day flow. 2/10

A look at Social Media Advertising (ex. China) and the impact of TikTok. Could $META 2025E Revenue & EPS be 10/20% too high? 1/5
