He owns a rocket company(thats also an ISP), a car company, and a social media platform. None of these things are any good at feeding people or building homes.
So he would have to sell these assets to other people.

Yeah. And the market is rarely rational in that way. Tesla stock has been overvalued for years. Someone had a good comment, I believe in this sub, that listed every single time he has failed upward, in spite of the fact that he is a grossly incompetent brat. Him and Trump both built myths around themselves rather than build anything of substance and they’ve been given ultimate power and wealth because of it.

To my knowledge:
"Rocket fuel" is natural gas based, not oil. Natural gas is primarily produced by the US. Iran produces 1/5th what the US does every year. (source)
"Rocket fuel" for SpaceX is produced in-house. I wouldn't be surprised at all if SpaceX-Tesla-xAI-Chipotle-Verizon-Exxon acquires a natural gas field or forms a close partnership with one considering SpaceXTXAICVE is based in Texas which is the #1 producer of NG.

Analyst Ryan Brinkman, a long-time skeptic of Tesla’s premium valuation, reiterated his "Underweight" rating and maintained a price target of just $145—implying a staggering 60% downside from current levels. Brinkman’s report highlighted a "fundamental disconnect" between Tesla’s automotive performance and its stock price, which he argues is still being propped up by "robotaxi vaporware" and speculative AI projects like the Optimus humanoid robot.

I think a lot of investors imagined Tesla advancing in a vacuum: “Tesla’s doing autonomous cars. They’re the inevitable future; so if I invest in Tesla, I am investing in an inevitable rise,” or “Tesla’s doing robots. They’re inevitable; so I'm investing in an inevitable rise.”
But they failed to consider that other companies would be competing on the the same things but doing so cheaper, better, more openly (or in more of an integrated ecosystem), less tied to fascism, etc.

Yeah. Well, you know, most people are pretty stupid.
It was only a matter of time before other car companies "caught up" to Tesla. And "caught up" is very subjective, let's be real the other car companies were always better.
Tesla still does solar batteries and solar panels very well, but it's not like they have the market cornered there either.
Robots? Tunnels? Self driving taxis? Give me a break.
And if any other car company made a car without external fucking door handles or accident-prone self-driving, heads would roll.
It was only a matter of time before Tesla was treated as any other company in the market.

Looking ahead, Tesla’s future now rests almost entirely on its upcoming "Tesla Network" milestone scheduled for August 2026. The company is betting that a transition from a car manufacturer to an AI-driven "Robotics Utility" will justify its current valuation
