I'm Buying Tesla Stock Call Options.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
another day another two fud stories on
Tesla today elon's responded to one of
them and quite frankly the only one that
he should respond to because the first
ones like why do they even put this
effort together I was on the refinitiv
terminal today and I saw this headline
come through I'm like what is this and I
click on it it's these early Tesla Bulls
are giving up on the stock oh good lord
this is the kind of stuff that makes me
think we are at a sentiment Rock Bottom
for Tesla
but this is the story that we're going
to talk about as well as Elon musk's
response so this morning uh Laura
written a lot of negative pieces about
Tesla uh Laura has mentioned that uh
Elon Musk ordered that uh Nvidia chips
that were reserved by Tesla should be
sent to xai uh and X instead of Tesla
and so this is giving rise to the fears
that here we go again Elon and the
distractions of other comp companies the
distractions of X and Twitter
acquisition the acquisition the
distraction of xai everything is a
distraction versus what he should be
doing which is running Tesla which In
fairness people can operate in multiple
different businesses long as they're
fulfilling their duties in this case as
CEO of Tesla now Tesla Elon responded to
this my my first assumption mind you was
that uh this was probably because they
were they mentioned they're no longer ER
compute constrained uh that's Elon
mentioned this see I wrote this could be
why Elon diverted some of the 12K h100
shipments if true Tesla is no longer AI
training compute constrainted which is
good there are few things that are good
here number one Tesla's in a position
that's somewhat precarious from a cash
flow point of view although I do think
it's at a sentiment bottom you kind of
want to preserve a little bit of cash
flow so if you could take 12,000 chips
that are supposed to show up let's say
June and go hey we don't really need
those right now because we're training
compute constrained and we don't even
have the servers ready to set up for
them let's just send them over to X and
xai and Tesla can get the next batch or
maybe even Blackwell or whatever it is
then you don't so much have to worry
about it because as Elon said you're no
longer AI training Compu constraint and
I have to say FSD has gotten really good
at Tesla now of course at the same time
as FSD gets really good at Tesla yes
there is competition from China which
we're sheltered from thanks to really
government policies both from the Biden
Administration and the Trump
Administration back in the day or
potential future Trump Administration a
lot of barriers away from Chinese
vehicles but I don't I don't really like
investing in companies because the
government is trying to protect me from
their competitors I think that Tesla's
FSG is just at the front running of full
self-driving in America now don't get me
wrong other companies are going to do
their best to have their own FSD I just
heard the Ford CEO literally say they
are going to do their own software it's
because they realize that's where the
money is they're not going to license it
from Tesla that doesn't surprise me now
Tesla stock today still though it's
consolidating around the 175 level we
bounced on the
17416 pretty common but this is pretty
barcoding now what you've seen a lot of
days in the past as you get a rally into
the close here but no guarantees and any
kind of bullish short-term trades on
this could get totally burned but in the
longer run as Tesla having diverted some
of these X or h100s to XX a a big deal
probably not it's probably not going to
hold anything back from Full
self-driving it is though going to get a
lot of attention in the news today now
Elon did specifically reply and he says
Tesla has no place to send the Nvidia
chips to turn them on so they would have
just sat in the warehouse right but
Tesla would have also to pay for them
and you can bump your cash flow or it
could be less negative if you have
another company pay for them and
remember xai just got a big
multi-billion doll investment round they
raised like $6 billion okay well that's
interesting because 12,000 chips at
about $30,000 a piece is if I do this
math correctly it's $4.2 billion I
believe oh no I'm sorry it's only $420
million okay whatever point is you have
more Capital available fresh cash
available to go shop for those chips and
then set up server clusters or whatever
you want to do and now you don't have to
spend that money over at Tesla and if
you're not training compute restrained
anyway then what's the rush why spend
the money at this point so to me it
sounds like Inventory management but
people who don't like Tesla they're
going to look at this as a conflict of
interest and I get that like a lot of
people look at Elon and they're like too
many conflicts with other businesses and
this kind of feeds into that narrative
especially since when you look at the
article the article is based apparently
on emails that CNBC reviewed between
individuals at Invidia and again Elon
did not dispute that these emails have
taken place he just gave an alternate
explanation for why and that's usually
why stuff like this happens there's
usually a reason however it's still not
a good look for Elon and the leadup to
his Stockon plan what would a better
solution have been for Elon here well
maybe rather than Elon just deciding it
have a conversation with the board hey
we're not training compute constrainted
we don't really need the chips right now
it could benefit our free cash flow if
we let one of the Affiliated companies
or other companies take the order rather
than us and maybe those companies can
even pay Tesla like uh hey thanks for
letting us take your reservation fee or
whatever then the board votes on it they
sign off on it you document it boom and
then you could put out a statement ahead
of this Le in in CNBC and going hey just
FYI we think we're good so good with we
want to make an announcement we think
we're so set with training right now
what we've done is we've recognized some
revenue for giving up a reservation to
some Affiliated companies the board
approved this the board voted on this
and we actually think it's a sign that
we're so close on full self- driving on
Tesla that it's actually bullish now
maybe I'm bias I mean I I don't have as
large of a position in exposure to Tesla
as I used to have uh I I used to have a
substantially larger position but I'm
exposed to Tesla I've just
Diversified and that's because in this
environment I think it's going to take a
whole lot longer for rates to come down
than we really want to believe I made a
video which you should watch this
morning on uh how long it took inflation
to come down between uh 8 uh 1990 to
1999 and how much it came down you
should watch that video it a really good
video on the channel this morning uh
I'll get the title for you so you can
just search the title uh but it's a
really good video and it talks about the
ECB and the implications for potential
investment opportunities in America as
well for raid cuts and uh yeah central
bank rate Cuts start this week it's a
reference to the ECB but it's it's uh
you know what's what's being priced in
right now and if you're not aware of it
and its implications for America watch
that video central bank rate cuts to
start this
week but the time it takes for those
rates to come down I think unfortunately
will be a net negative for Tesla in the
long term because Tesla's just going to
have to keep financing those Buy buy
Downs now I do think those buy Downs are
going to lead to some pretty sick
delivery numbers so I'm pretty excited
about uh a a pop in deliveries from that
99% financing rate that you ended up
having uh and uh it's uh it's pretty
exciting uh but then again we can't
guarantee that the numbers are going to
be positive uh and they could still be
net net year-over-year
negative uh in fact that's uh what a lot
of analysts are thinking right now I
know Gary black is thinking the numbers
are going to be negative year-over-year
I think uh Tesla let's see here Troy
posted on his public post here Tesla
sales in Europe have been fairly steady
ranging between 85 to 94k over the past
week this quarter is expected to be
clearly lower based on registration data
so far so still expecting that negative
sort of uh delivery uh and production
figure uh and uh the same is true for
lower than analyst estimates for uh
deliveries for the second quarter
probably by a lot of estimates trending
somewhere between 10 to 15% below uh
expectations of uh where things might go
so we'll see we'll see what happens on
the day I think on the day it's going to
be the same thing where you're just
consolidation until the end of the day
and you're sort of hoping for a rally
into the close no guarantees but that's
my expectation uh and then as far as uh
the longer term for
Tesla it's an interest rate sensitive
play so you boy you got to really have
uh like Diamond Balls we like to say to
to hold on for the long term but I think
uh once we get this Catalyst over of the
stock comp plan whether it passes or not
I kind of think it won't but if it does
great bullish if it doesn't pass fine
they'll come up with a new plan there'll
be another solution that'll be put up
for a vote so uh that's my thesis and
I'm sticking to it but that's my take on
Tesla today thanks so much for watching
we'll see you in the next one goodbye
not advertise these things that you told
us here I feel like nobody else knows
about this we'll we'll try a little
advertising and see how it goes
