Tesla to be finally dethroned from M7?

(Strong) competitors for:

- Robotaxi - Wymo  Cruise, among others

- EV - most reputable car companies and the Hybrid category

- Humanoids - Boston Dynamics, among others

Most of Tesla's competitors kept their head down, developed the product, tested it, and marketed it. Whereas Tesla seems to be all talk and no action after they stunt the world with their mass market EV in 2012.

Elon Musk's unhinged behavior in turning Twitter into a political platform and his brazen support of a presidential candidate often have me thinking, since when was it acceptable for an MNC's CEO to behave this way? You can excuse The Pillow Guy Mike Lindell for uncouth and even unethical behaviour, but are these the new norms even for big companies?

On paper, Tesla seems to have a somewhat healthy profit margin and balance sheet, but I distrust the numbers after the many financial shenanigans Musk committed (mishandling Twitters finance, threatening the board for sky-high remuneration, throwing money for election wins, exploiting federal funding for personal gains) .

Tesla clearly has its fans, but the CEO's behaviour has already resulted in divisiveness. This is never a good sign for business who needs to strive for political neutrality.

For this, I think their stock will continue to be volatile until something big happens.

Will I buy this stock? No, unless I'm a dedicated option trader who knows how to make money from volatility. Which I am n9t.

But... I do have a small position in an ETF that does option trading on Telsa as the underlying and shares their monthly profits.
