> other companies are catching up

Catching up? BYD has already surpassed Tesla and looks like the gap is going to continue to grow.

It is because he is very desperate for nerds to think he is cool so he lies and does PR stunts to that end and it works

Absolutely, but an even more likely explanation is that he's going to "acquire" Tesla with Space X and pay a premium (on top of the 330 P/E!). The SEC in this country is completely useless. Sure you can't invest in private companies if you're not an "accredited investor" but Musk is free to scam trillions of dollars.

Is this your first time seeing a concept car?

> One explanation is he is a trillionaire and the 14 year old in him

At this point it's not clear that there's anything other than a 14 year old in him. A greedy, sociopathic 14 year old.
