Tesla's investors. As a rule, they're generally morons. He lies about having hardware and software capable of having full self driving, part of which includes advanced auto parking. That 100% impacts Tesla's valuation because their valuation is based on it being a "tech" company.Who buys stock based on the promise of what is basically advanced auto-parking?
That doesn't make any sense. If Elon wanted to pump the stock he would lie about bigger things.
Hell just look at the most recent earning's call. The actual company's financials are god awful. And their outlook is dismal - they have literally nothing in the pipeline. But because he made some claims about robotaxis and AI, the price shot up.
