When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024

When will the Tesla bubble burst? 

We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon. 

We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days. 

Six months ago, Tesla was trading at about $170 per share. Two months ago, Tesla was trading at about $212 per share. Today, Tesla closed at $424. That's right. Tesla doubled its value in two months. Tesla's market capitalization increased by $660 billion in two months. That's $330 billion per month, about $11 billion every day in the past two months, counting saturdays and sundays, or about $17 billion a day counting only trading days. 

What are the chances of Tesla sustaining a $17 billion a day valuation increase daily for the next two months? Zero to nil? Of course, there's still room for Tesla's share price to continue going up. There's an endless sea of gamblers and speculators out there. The more and the faster Tesla's stock continues rising, the better for us holding the shorts. The faster the bubblelicious rise, the faster the gravitational fall. We all have seen this movie before. We know how it ends. Tesla is not going to go away or out of business anytime soon, but it is virtually impossible for the stock to continue its irrationally exuberant performance for ever. The Tesla party will end. 

We see at least 50% chances of the party beginning to wrap up as early as tomorrow. Many will wake up to the realization that Tesla's rise in the past semester lacks any fundamental basis and it's all snake oil salesmanship about nothing new and nothing justifying the current valuation. 

The Tesla bubble has a name and it's not Elon Musk. It's Elon Trump. The historic bromance between the president-elect and the South African immigrant somehow blew up the Tesla bubble out of proportion. These imbalances happen every now and then and it's really how fortunes are made. Everyone holding a 401k with investments tracking the S&P 500 has made good money in the past months thanks to Tesla and the other bubble beneficiaries like NVIDIA and Meta. The whole technology sector is currently overvalued and is due for a correction. Tesla's imminent implosion may be the first domino piece on that long due correction. 

The future has not been created yet. No one knows what will happen. The movie is unscripted and writes itself as we watch it on real time. Isn't that phenomenal entertainment? Isn't life the best freaking thing in this universe?

Will Tariffs Reduce the National Debt?

Creatix / June 30, 2025 The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34.7 trillion , and the cost of servicing that debt— just the interest payments—has soared to over $1 trillion annually as of mid-2025. This marks a historic shift: we now spend more just paying interest on the National debt than on defense, Medicare, or any single discretionary program. Economists warn that unless fiscal policy changes, interest costs will crowd out critical investments in infrastructure, education, and innovation, deepening the structural debt burden for future generations. From Osama to MAGA OBBA: the path to U.S. bankruptcy. Osama Bin Laden "succeeded" in putting us in a path to bankruptcy. The U.S. national debt began to increase dramatically after 9/11, marking a sharp departure from the budget surpluses of the late 1990s. In response to the terrorist attacks, the U.S. launched costly wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while also implementing sweeping tax cuts under the Bush administration. These...

Chinese AI Robots Everywhere By the 2050s: Are you Ready?

Creatix / November 8, 2026 AI Robots Everywhere by the 2050s: Are You Ready? By the 2050s , artificial intelligence and robotics could merge into the most transformative household revolution since electricity. Analysts forecast trillions in market value for humanoid and service robots, and billions of units operating globally. The question isn’t if they’ll be everywhere—it’s whether we’re ready for it. The 2050s Robot Boom By mid-century, expect AI robots to clean, cook, carry, and even care. Thanks to exponential progress in AI reasoning, computer vision, and robotics hardware , the machines we see today in factories or labs will become accessible home companions. Costs will plummet as production scales, while software will learn from vast shared data networks—meaning every robot gets smarter as one learns. Economic studies suggest the global humanoid-robot market could exceed $5 trillion by 2050 , transforming domestic life, eldercare, and even education. What smartphones did f...
