*BIG* Tesla Stock Rumor CONFIRMED FALSE by Elon... (BIG NEWS)
Overall Thesis
Market-wide selloff driven by rising 10-year Treasury yields hitting 52-week highs, with Tesla experiencing volatility amid Model Y launch rumors and broader sector weakness across most asset classes.
Narratives
The host believes Tesla's recent decline is more about weak retail participation and midterm-year seasonality than deteriorating fundamentals, pointing to falling short interest and strong product demand (Model Y L sellout) as bullish signs. He expects near-term volatility but sees a longer-term bullish catalyst as Tesla's real-world AI and robotaxi story develops.
Key Arguments
- Tesla short interest has fallen from over 3% to 2.4% even as the stock has dropped, which he views as a bullish signal rather than bearish capitulation.
- The Model Y L launch series is already almost sold out in the US, showing strong demand.
- Tesla and the Cybercab are reportedly not limited by the new autonomous vehicle cap of 2,500 units/year, which he thinks investors haven't priced in yet.
- He believes the 'real-world AI' story will become a major driver for Tesla later this year and into next year.
The host recaps Amazon's Q2 2026 earnings, noting strong AWS growth and revenue beats that drove a 14% stock surge, but flags concerns about sharply negative free cash flow and the need to raise capital going forward.
Key Arguments
- AWS annualized run rate hit $170 billion with 37% year-over-year growth, driving the stock up 14%.
- Total revenue of $200.61 billion beat expectations by about $3 billion.
- 12-month free cash flow turned from positive $18.2 billion to negative $7.6 billion this quarter, which he sees as a sustainability risk.
The host reviews Apple's Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings, noting a strong iPhone-driven revenue and EPS beat that was overshadowed by a cautious next-quarter forecast and misses in Services and China revenue, leading to a 9% stock decline.
Key Arguments
- Revenue beat estimates at $109.42 billion, up 16% year-over-year, with iPhone revenue up 22%.
- EPS of $2.02 beat expectations but included an 11-cent tariff refund tailwind.
- Services and China revenue both missed estimates, and Apple trades at a higher valuation multiple than other Mag 7 stocks besides Tesla.
