Musk's hype machine is still spinning, but I'm not buying it. Tesla's earnings are likely manipulated, and the recent surge in European sales is just a temporary win for retail investors who will eventually get burned. The house of cards is about to collapse, and Musk's exit playbook is unfolding with desperate moves like merging with SpaceX. I'm seeing a pump and dump scheme, with institutional investors propping up the stock. My skepticism is validated by Tesla's struggles, autopilot fails, and fishy recalls.
