TECH - 'Wow:' Elon Musk Reacts To Reminder Of How Tesla Bull's Optimistic 2021 Rivian Prediction 'Didn't Age Well' | Benzinga
Electric vehicle startups Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) are facing a harsh market reality, mirroring the struggles of even industry leader Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). Their stocks have plummeted, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk couldn’t help but chime in on the situation.
Rivian’s Fall From Grace: A Tesla investor (@alojoh) recently reshared a post by Gary Black, managing partner of the Future Fund (NYSE:FFND), from November 2021. Back then, Black expressed optimism about Rivian, even at a $70 billion market cap, expecting them to produce 150,000 EVs annually by 2024 with $10 billion in revenue.
