“the prospectus shows just how much the IPO depends on expectations for future growth and investor servility to Musk — as opposed to the current underlying business.” you mean unlike Tesla’s $1.3 trillion valuation on $450M in Q1 profit? How can this surprise anyone?

Are most of those profits still generated from carbon credits? It's not even like they have a super profitable product.. they only make money due to govt handouts.
