As of April 28, 2025: $285.88 (+0.33%)

Breaking news:
Tesla director and Airbnb co-founder Joseph Gebbia just bought 4,000 shares at $256.31 a pop — dropping $1,025,232 of very real money on TSLA. 💸

With a net worth of $8.8 billion (thanks, Airbnb IPO 🎈), the man ranked #328 on Forbes' Richest List probably knows a thing or two about, well, things. 🧠

Meanwhile, institutions?
📉 Yawn. They own just 56.6% of Tesla’s float.
Only Vanguard and BlackRock are sitting heavy.

Short sellers? Barely 2.9% of the float.
So much for the "permanent Tesla crash" fantasy. 💤💥

And insiders (Elon included) still hold a healthy 12.87% of shares — meaning the people closest to the story are still believers. 🙏

🏎️ What Exactly Is Tesla Again?

In case you've been living under a rock (or a Rivian):

• 🚗 Automotive: Electric cars, Superchargers, upgrades, insurance, after-sales, credits.

• ☀️ Energy Generation & Storage: Solar panels, batteries, energy services.

• 🤖 Tech: AI software, self-driving tech, Optimus robots, dreams of a robot army (nice ones, hopefully).

In short: Tesla isn’t just a car company.
It’s a three-headed beast operating at the intersection of auto, energy, and tech — while Elon Musk throws Twitter grenades along the way. 🧨🐦

📉 Q1 2025 Earnings: The Reality Check

Here's the vibe:
Bad on paper, but not without serious silver linings. 🌦️

Highlights:

• 📉 Revenue Down: -9% YoY to $19.34B (missed expectations)

• 📉 Net Income Down: -71% (ouch)

• 🚗 Vehicle Sales Down: Lowest since Q2 2022

• 🔋 Energy Segment Up: +67% revenue (Tesla Energy flexing hard)

• 🧠 AI Investments Up: Big spend on future tech = short-term hit

• 🌎 Tariff Worries: Supply chain pinch

• 🗳️ Musk's Political Adventures: Branding headaches

👀 Also on the Q1 call?
The Optimus project update: humanoid robots and autonomous fleets still in the pipeline. 🤖🚖

🧠 Translation, Please?

• Core car biz? Struggling against competition and tariffs. 🚗🥊

• Energy & AI? Gaining momentum fast. ⚡🧠

• Musk's mouth? Still Musk-ing things up. 🎤🫢

Big picture: Short-term pain ➡️ Long-term setup for domination. 🌍🚀

🏷️ Valuation Check:

• P/E Ratio: 157.35 (lol)

• Forward thinking? Priceless.
  (Reminder: Tesla has never been about value investing. Ask Warren Buffett for a laugh. 😂)

🛡️ Risks You Should Probably Acknowledge:

1. 🚩 Elon becomes President (nope, born in South Africa)

2. 🏰 Elon stages a coup d'état (someone hide the robots)

3. 🚗 Other automakers out-tech Tesla (not happening overnight, if ever)

4. 🔋 Energy Segment Flop (but if recent history is any guide...)

🎯 Our Funanc1al Take:

Tesla is basically a high-voltage soap opera — messy, chaotic, occasionally absurd —
but it's also one of the few companies rewriting the rules of multiple industries at once.

The recipe for a massive rerating is assembling:

• Energy business booming 🚀

• AI bets maturing 🧠

• Political storms fading ⛅ (hopefully)

Joseph Gebbia didn’t just drop a casual million bucks on Tesla because he’s bored.
And neither should we ignore it. 👀

❗Disclaimer (aka: Seatbelt On, Eyes Open):

We're not financial advisors — just humble travelers on the Autobahn of Funanc1al wisdom. 🛣️💥
We love Tesla's potential. We fear its chaos. We hope its cars drive straighter than its CEO tweets. 🐦😅

Invest if you dare. And remember:
I'm always wrong... except when I'm right. 😎
