Tesla has returned near zero to shareholders yet. I don’t think people understand this. Yes share value had increased but from an investment perspective, a company must return to investors in the form of dividends or share buybacks an amount equal to that of all capital raised plus some percentage to justify the risk and time invested. That has to happen at some point.
That doesn’t mean the company does not provide something to society but from an overall investment perspective, Tesla has yet to return a dollar yet. All that has happened so far is that many people gave a great deal of money to Tesla then a bunch more people exchanged money back and forth.
