TRX Reddit poster says Tesla flying-car clip timed ahead of earnings to distract from results
A Reddit r/stocks poster argues that Tesla's showing of a flying Roadster a week before its earnings is a deliberate distraction from its quarterly numbers. The post says the car cannot be bought until 2028 and that CEO Elon Musk keeps talking up a merger with SpaceX. It frames the flying car as a bridge to SpaceX and urges readers to watch the numbers rather than the spectacle.
