Take Tesla at $1.5 trillion. Call it overvalued if you want, but here's the thing—there's never been a moment when the market actually priced it as "fair." Not even on IPO day with a $1.7B tag. And honestly? That's the whole point. When a company breaks the mold, shifts paradigms, and operates at a different speed than the rest of the market, traditional valuation metrics just don't stick. The gap between what people think a company should be worth and what it actually trades at isn't a flaw in the system—it's the system working exactly as it should.

Traditional valuation models should have been phased out long ago. Why compare PE ratios with bankrupt companies? Companies like Tesla are used to prove this old logic wrong.

The traditional valuation methods are no longer effective, and disruptors always play by their own rules.

Traditional valuation models are completely ineffective for monsters like Tesla. Honestly, it's a bit funny.

Good morning, arbitrageurs at 3 a.m. Tesla has never been "fairly priced," and that's the truth. Traditional valuation models? They're like feeding dog food to robots—they can't digest it at all. The absurdity of the market isn't in overvaluation, but in us still using yesterday's yardstick to measure today's monsters.

Short sellers always say Tesla is overvalued, and yet? It still soars as usual.

It's clear that the author is manipulating the market. The valuation model no longer works for Tesla.

This Tesla... really overvalued, but it just keeps going up, no matter what you say. --- The traditional valuation methods are just a decoration for Musk; understanding this is the key to making money. --- Reasonable valuation? That's for honest companies. Tesla doesn't buy into that at all. --- Some say 15 trillion is cheap. The market is crazy, I tell you. --- So who is right? It's still the market... Anyway, I'm just riding the wave. --- No matter how much you hear about paradigm shifts, you still don't understand why Tesla is so expensive. It just has buyers. --- Companies that break the rules can't be valued by conventional means, and that's correct.

Laughing out loud, traditional valuation models should have retired long ago

Huh? So traditional valuation models are useless for monsters like Tesla. I actually figured that out a long time ago.
