Tesla recently reported weaker 2025 results, with full-year revenue of US$94,827 million and net income of US$3,794 million, while accelerating a shift away from legacy models toward robotaxis, humanoid robots and large-scale US solar manufacturing.
At the same time, Elon Musk’s broader empire is being reshaped through the SpaceX–xAI merger and early discussions about a possible tie-up with Tesla, raising questions about how intertwined AI, space infrastructure and energy could redefine Tesla’s long-term role in Musk’s ecosystem.
Next, we examine how Tesla’s push into Optimus humanoid robots could reshape its investment narrative beyond traditional electric vehicles.
Uncover the next big thing with 25 elite penny stocks that balance risk and reward.
To own Tesla today, you have to buy into a story that is pivoting away from being primarily an automaker toward what Elon Musk calls “physical AI”: robotaxis, humanoid robots and large scale energy and solar infrastructure. That shift is happening just as profits have roughly halved year on year and the stock still trades at a steep sales multiple, so the key short term catalysts remain progress on Optimus, robotaxi rollouts and the emerging energy and solar build out, rather than a quick rebound in vehicle margins. The new wrinkle is the SpaceX–xAI merger and early talk of a potential tie up with Tesla. Even if no deal happens, it pushes Tesla deeper into Musk’s broader AI and space-energy vision, sharpening both the upside case and governance, dilution and execution risks that shareholders now need to weigh more carefully.
However, one underappreciated risk could materially affect how Tesla is run and who it really serves. Tesla’s share price has been on the slide but might be dropping deeper into value territory. Find out whether it’s a bargain at this price.
