Game Over for Tesla? (Ad)

Tesla is down 50% from its highs, and recent SEC filings reveal major insider selling—tens of millions in stock unloaded by top executives. Meanwhile, Elon Musk appears to be shifting focus away from Tesla and toward his private AI venture, xAI. Musk has already purchased over $1 billion in NVIDIA AI chips and is investing $5 billion into a new data center. Our research shows xAI is growing 7X faster than OpenAI—and could be the source of the next wave of AI millionaires.
