“Optimus coming by the end of this year and bigger production next year, Tesla's going to do um very well.”
Thesis at the time
BullishThe host is bullish on Tesla into the rest of the week, expecting the broader market boost from strong tech earnings and clarity around the Jackson Hole speech to push Tesla higher. He also ties a longer-term bullish view to Tesla's robotics/Optimus progress and capital efficiency versus peers like Google.
Key arguments
- Strong earnings from Nvidia, Salesforce, CrowdStrike, and Okta are lifting broader market sentiment which should help Tesla.
- Tesla is viewed as a leader in robotics, automation, and AI software themes for the next 6-12 months.
- Tesla spends efficiently ($25B capex) versus companies like Google spending far more or taking on debt for AI.
- Optimus production ramp expected by end of year and bigger production next year supports the bullish thesis.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Uncertainty remains around the Iran war situation and the Jackson Hole speech from Kevin Walsh.
- There is institutional hesitancy and confusion about which category (hardware, cyclical, loser) Tesla falls into on a given day.

- NEVER LISTEN TO ANYTHING SAID IN THESE VIDEOS AS FINANCIAL ADVICE
