  • Elon Musk told shareholders on Thursday to hold onto their stock, even as sales of the electric vehicles are falling.

The article discusses a scenario where a person, identifying as a nihilist, advised his friend to sell his Tesla shares. The friend, who had invested in Tesla due to his belief in Elon Musk's vision for sustainable energy, did not appreciate the advice.

The article explores the philosophical differences between the two friends, questioning whether the advice was misguided or simply a reflection of differing worldviews.
