Crypto Trader Questions Tesla’s $1.3T Valuation as Revenue, Deliveries Decline
Prominent crypto trader DonAlt challenged Tesla’s $1.3 trillion market cap, citing a 3% drop in 2025 auto revenue to $94.8 billion and a 61% plunge in Q4 net income. Full-year deliveries slid 9% to 1.636 million, while France and Norway sales plunged 42% and nearly 90% respectively.
1. Challenger Questions Valuation
Pseudonymous crypto trader DonAlt publicly asked investors to justify Tesla’s $1.3 trillion market cap, arguing that its AI efforts lag competition and its social media platform X remains underwhelming.
2. Auto Business Performance
Tesla’s automotive segment reported Q4 2025 revenue of $94.8 billion, down from $97.7 billion a year earlier, while net income plunged 61% year-over-year in the quarter and 46% for the full year, and deliveries fell 9% to 1.636 million vehicles.
3. Robotaxi and SpaceX Angle
Tesla will start Cybercab robotaxi production in April at a targeted $25,000 price, and its $2 billion stake in xAI ties it to a $1 trillion SpaceX valuation, fueling speculation of a future merger or spin-off.
4. Technical Support and Resistance
Shares recently tested the 200-day EMA near $394 after slipping below other major moving averages, trading within a key $383–$429 Fibonacci support range, with upside hurdles around $444.
