Rivian Automotive Inc (RIVN)

I’m not a politico, but I don’t know that the rate hikes are unnecessary. I mean, we haven’t seen something like this in an awfully long time - maybe never, when you consider a major oil supplier (Russia) is hit with sanctions, so that the rest of the world has constrained supply to an economic necessary and the pandemic, which forced workers away from manufacturing in China and halted supply. It’s a perfect storm for inflation, but hey, if it means more people will be buying electric vehicles, or Rivians, it’s all good, haha.

Not so sure on Musk. He’s already been close to a breakdown once. Not being antagonistic, but how many CEO’s do you know, with as much on the plate as he has, while also getting involved in antagonistic, petty politics? You can have as many quality people under you as you can, but eventually, they get sick of the nonsense, let alone the stress he has to deal with. Bezos was out because he had enough, Jack Dorsey, same thing. I honestly thing it’s a matter of time with Musk, whether he sheds some responsibilities, backs off from the petty stuff, or just cracks. Honestly, hate to say it, but I think it’s going to be the latter of the 3. He’s cracked before. It’s tough juggling all he’s juggling.
