For their sake, i hope they are right and that they don't get shafted while chasing waterfalls

Yeah, it's highly speculative, way more so than the dot-com era. We're in totally uncharted water.

I'd say it's more like speculating on sea voyages during the Age of Exploration and people trust Elon at the helm of the ship based on his prior successes.

Undisciplined

How is this potential being measured with all the funky valuations going on? Is it just trusting Elon? This is the real question for me, because if you recall during the dotcom era, many things were spoken of and some are yet to materialize to this day. Looks more like speculative gambling to me than prudent investing, unless if Elon is sitting on a major discovery that he is yet to share with the world.
