Author attributes TSLA's decline to macro risk aversion and pre-earnings positioning, betting on AI5 chip and Cybercab catalysts.

TSLA — LONG The author attributes TSLA's multi-day decline to macro risk aversion from Trump's Greenland tariff proposal colliding with valuation adjustments ahead of the January 28 earnings report. They acknowledge the 2025 delivery slowdown as a clear downside risk but bet on Musk's AI5 chip and Cybercab materializing after restarting Dojo 3. They view the political-rhetoric-driven pullback as noise and a final shakeout of speculative positions before earnings. Main stated risk is the 2025 delivery slowdown.

While the 2025 delivery slowdown is a clear downside risk, we're betting on the odds of Musk's AI5 chip and Cybercab materializing after restarting Dojo 3.
