*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
TSLATeslaThe 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.
Risks acknowledged
- Low retail investor engagement during summer and midterm election year volatility could keep the stock suppressed in the near term.
- He acknowledges the stock could bounce and then fall back down, showing uncertainty about near-term direction.
Predictions (3)
"So, when word gets around that Tesla's in fact not limited to 2,500 vehicles, I think you can see the ramp expectations uh move higher."
"I do think towards the end of this year, next year, you're going to see the real-world AI story really come to life for Tesla."
"In the near term, I do think we could bounce back up to that 340, 350 level, maybe even as high as 365."
AMZNAmazonThe 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.
Risks acknowledged
- Negative free cash flow trends could force financing or stock issuance, raising questions about sustainability of the rally.
AAPLAppleThe 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.
Risks acknowledged
- Supply chain bottlenecks are creating a cautious outlook despite the earnings beat.
