Original Reddit post

Author plans a 50/50 $20k split between Tesla and Berkshire as a speculative bet on Elon Musk's robots.

TSLA — LONG The author is allocating roughly half of a $20k new position to Tesla as a small speculative bet on Elon Musk, explicitly framing it as a wager that his robots could 'take over the world.' The mechanism is a long-term optionality bet on Tesla's robotics ambitions rather than current auto fundamentals. No specific catalyst or time horizon is given, and the author himself labels it a small bet, implying high uncertainty.

I think I’ll take a small bet on Elon, in case he’s right about his robots taking over the world.
