That's how much money the company is going to be worth when they break into russia, china, and india....allegedly.
I have a small amount of Tesla stock, but I plan on selling it. The only thing the company has going for it is the AI play. There are better electric cars by other manufacturers.

Musk accused of improperly selling $7.5 billion in Tesla stock before weak sales report that crashed its price
“Musk profited from his misconduct and his exploitation of material and adverse inside information,” alleged the suit, filed by shareholder Michael Perry. The suit requests that Musk return the profits on the stock sale to the company, as well as attorney fees and other costs to Perry for bringing the suit.
Musk likely knew the weaker sales report was coming at the time of the sale, the suit charges. Tesla reduced its prices in China by as much as 9% on October 24, 2022, starting a string of price cuts that has driven down prices of electric vehicles by Tesla and other automakers in the face of weaker-than-forecast sales.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

So Many Unsold Teslas Are Piling Up That You Can See Them From Space
Tesla has a glut of nearly 50,000 cars just sitting around in lots so packed, they can be seen from orbit.
Tesla is the biggest bubble-fraud in the history of the stock market.

That's not his opinion (unless he is a complete moron) but he is simply harassing Fauci, and Fauci recently said how this kind of harassment brings him death threats
And Musk has only been doubling down on his harassment

For the record, what FM is describing in his post is called "Stochastic Terrorism." Functionally, it involves a public figure demonizing another in such a way that it ends up resulting in a violent act; the violent act should be probable, but the specifics should be unknowable. For instance, saying that the director of the NIAID is guilty of crimes against humanity for trying to get people to follow measures designed to limit the spread of an extremely contagious disease, particularly among people who seem more interested in committing violence than trying to get justice by less lethal measures*. In a more textbook example that helped bring the term to the forefront:
(I could include dozens of other Trump examples, including his speech before they stormed the Capitol on January 6, but I will also say that stochastic terrorism is a major reason behind all the gag orders that Trump's been under during his recent trial.)
For a bit more information, this video (particularly starting at around 95 minutes in) explains what it is, and how it happens:
And in a slightly more humourous example, it appears in-universe in this recent episode of Smiling Friends, about 30 seconds into this clip, after the worm conspiracy's plans to manipulate the Presidential election were thwarted by a single vote:
*Note: Before you ask why the Left's demonization of Trump doesn't count, it's because we still have enough faith in the ability of the courts to actually do something about him.

The First Amendment doesn't cover slander. Even a Muskrat should understand that much.
