Det jag visar är att omständigheten att en källa (Fidelity) värderar ett bolag på ett visst sätt, innebär inte att det är så, eller att det är så det kommer förbli. Det kan gälla X, så som det tidigare gällde för Tesla eller SpaceX. Här är några exempel gällande Tesla och SpaceX, och trots allt detta som de framförts så är både Tesla och SpaceX marknadsledande. Mitt argument är att X kan komma att se samma utveckling, och är på väg att göra det.
"The New York Times has had a history of both skepticism and criticism towards Tesla. In 2013, an article titled "Stalled Out on Tesla’s Electric Highway" by John M. Broder portrayed a negative experience with a Tesla vehicle, which was later criticized for methodological flaws. While not explicitly predicting failure, it contributed to a narrative of doubt.
Reuters has run several reports over the years that could be interpreted as predicting Tesla's potential downfall, especially around periods of financial strain or high-profile issues like recalls. For example, a 2010 piece titled "Special report: Is Tesla the future or the new Government Motors?" raised questions about Tesla's viability and sustainability.
Barron's has frequently published analyses that were skeptical of Tesla's stock price and business model. Articles like "Tesla Stock Won’t Be Easy to Fix. How Far It Could Fall." from 2024 painted a grim picture of Tesla's financial health and market position.
Newsweek has also covered Tesla's challenges, including recalls and performance issues, which in some articles could be seen as casting doubt on Tesla's future. An article mentioning Tesla's numerous recalls for failing to comply with safety standards might imply skepticism about the company's ability to manage quality control effectively.
The Guardian has reported on Tesla's operational difficulties, notably with the Cybertruck. In 2024, an article titled "What the Cybertruck’s many failures mean for Tesla" discussed the impact of Cybertruck issues on Tesla's reputation and stock performance, suggesting that such failures could be detrimental to Tesla's success.
Några om SpaceX, varsågod:
Here are several examples of narratives or headlines from newspapers or media outlets that have questioned the viability of SpaceX:
Complex and Unproven Propulsion System - After NASA's evaluation of SpaceX's Starship for the Artemis program, some reports highlighted the concerns about the complexity and unproven nature of the propulsion system. Discussions around this focused on the potential risks and delays this could cause for the lunar landing timeline.
Risk of Bankruptcy - Reports citing a leaked email from Elon Musk in 2021 noted that SpaceX was facing significant financial risks due to issues in Starship engine production. This narrative painted a picture of a company on the brink, potentially unable to follow through with its ambitious projects.
Emerging Competition - With the successful launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, some articles suggested that SpaceX's dominance in space might be at risk. These narratives often questioned whether SpaceX could maintain its lead in the commercial space sector with new competitors entering the fray.
Successful Failures - Following the explosive failure of the Starship test flight in 2023, some media narratives framed SpaceX's approach as one where failures are too frequent, potentially casting doubt on the company's ability to achieve its goals safely and on schedule. Although SpaceX viewed these events as learning opportunities, some reports emphasized the setbacks rather than the progress.
Delayed Projects - Media coverage often highlights delays in SpaceX's projects, like the Starship's readiness for human spaceflight or the timeline for Mars missions. These reports sometimes question whether SpaceX can meet its ambitious timelines, thereby casting doubt on its overall viability and reliability.
Technical Challenges - Articles discussing the technical challenges SpaceX faces, such as the difficulties in achieving full reusability of its rockets or the complexities in developing in-orbit refueling capabilities, sometimes frame these hurdles as indicators of potential long-term failure."
