Elon Musk Talks AI and Tesla Stock Jumps

- Musk emphasized that Tesla has been integrating advanced AI chips into millions of vehicles, positioning the company as a leader in real-world AI applications.

- Investors remain cautious as the tech stock market continues to face volatility amid concerns of overvaluation.
Tesla (TSLA) stock is bullish once more after a very uneven week, and the price is up 6% after CEO Elon Musk spoke on social media Sunday about the company’s AI development.
AI has been a sticky subject for investors lately, with many fearing that the market will crash soon, but Musk is confident that AI is the future. He announced on Sunday that Tesla has been putting AI chips into millions of its vehicles, and his strong support for artificial intelligence is likely part of the reason that Tesla stock soared as the week began.
What “most people don’t know,” he said, is that “Tesla has had an advanced AI chip and board engineering team for many years.” He said that the team has installed millions of their AI chips into data centers and cars that the company has built, and that makes Tesla a leader in real-world AI applications.
Is Tesla Bucking the Tech Stock Trend?
Technology stocks are having a very difficult time right now, specifically AI stocks, as investors fear that the market may be in a bubble that could burst at any moment. The discussion about the market’s imminent collapse has been driving technology stocks lower in recent weeks, and Tesla has taken a hit because of it as well.
For the last two weeks, AI bubble fears have been at their peak, and that is when Tesla stock has been dropping. The company’s tock value went from $462 down to $391 over the course of November, with the sharpest drop happening after startup founders and analysts began talking about an AI bubble.
Tesla’s stock rose on Monday, though, but investors should be careful about counting on the AI market fears to simply subside. Several AI companies have reported positive quarterly earnings in recent weeks, and Musk is strongly supporting AI applications, but there is strong evidence to suggest that a bubble is occurring in the market.
The AI boom has taken the stock market by storm, and major companies are investing billions into the technology. However, it is possible that stock values have risen too quickly and too high, and they may come crashing down. Interest in AI may be outpaced by its usefulness, and the hype could fade away quickly. If Musk can make a good case for why AI is still the future and should still be widely used, however, he may help prop up the market for a while longer.
Stocks are up today, which could give the AI market a little breathing room. Tech stocks are performing much better Monday than they did through much of last week, and there could be a surge in investments after the holiday weekend.
