$TSLA and $GOOG were hit hard, but the poster argues the market is misreading the AI capex story.
- Tesla is weaker mainly because the Robotaxi catalyst looks distant.
- Google is being punished for capex, but the writer says compute spending has high ROIC and should show up quickly in earnings.
- Their core view: the only bearish case is if you don’t believe the AI investment thesis and think you know more than the ops and finance teams at GOOG, AMZN, META, and SPCX.
