The REAL Danger in a US-China Trade War
Overall SentimentMixedStrength: 60%
Overall Thesis
Trump is winning the broader tariff negotiation with most countries falling in line, but China is cornered and the big tail risk is a Chinese invasion or blockade of Taiwan by 2027, which would crash global supply chains and markets 50-70%. Long-term Tesla shareholders should still come out on top by 2029-2030, but short-term leap calls and tech stocks would be devastated if the tail risk materializes.
Narratives
TSLATesla
BullishEven in a catastrophic China-Taiwan war scenario, long-term Tesla shareholders should come out on top by 2029-2030, though short-term stock and leap calls would be severely impacted by global supply chain implosion and loss of the Shanghai factory.
Key Arguments
- AGI, Optimus, Robots, and FSD trajectory continues regardless of tariff war outcome
- Long-term Tesla thesis survives even in China-Taiwan war scenario
- Tesla would lose Shanghai factory in a kinetic US-China war
