What has been going through your head over the last few months as we're watching, you know, Musk take this role in the government and have this interplay between his polarization and the stock?

So, I've always been fascinated with the correlation between Tesla's stock price and Musk as a persona. There's an analyst at Moody's who said, quote, I do think fundamentally that a significant fraction of Tesla's value is due to the fact that Elon can command this attention continuously. Which sort of suggested to me, right, that Musk is almost like a human meme stock, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I'm kind of curious, like how much do you think Tesla's value is just tied to this future projection of Elon Musk as this guy who's going to, you know, either have that Edison-esque ability to innovate beyond any constraints or just that, you know, he can kind of brute force his way into making the future bend to his will?

Das war vor einiger Zeit. Aber die Person, der sie verkauft hat, hatte sie am anderen Tag geklopft. Selbst auf einer sehr kleinen Ebene, wenn es nicht ein Protest ist, gibt es viele Tatsachen von casual Evangelismus und so weiter. Und dann, wie letztes Jahr, im März, gab es einen Protest bei fast jedem Tesla-Verein in den Vereinigten Staaten.

Also scheint der Bewegung ein bisschen langweilig zu sein. And yet, you know, I think the very initial parts of this protest we watched coincide with a pretty substantial drop in the stock. So much so that you have, you know, Elon Musk and Donald Trump basically doing a Tesla infomercial, you know, on the White House South Lawn, right? You know, Teslas and EVs have always had a political valence.

Aber, you know, does Tesla have a clear idea of what its brand is now? Because I don't know, you know, if it's going to sort of reclaim that green progressive halo anytime in the near future.
