Game Over for Tesla? (Ad)

Tesla is down 50% from its high... Our research indicates investors are waking up to the fact that Tesla is no longer Musk's #1 priority. His real goal is political power - and his private AI firm xAI. He recently bought over $1 billion worth of AI chips from NVIDIA... And is about to spend $5 billion on yet another data center for xAI.

While Tesla keeps tanking, Elon's secretive AI venture is growing 7X faster than its main competitor
