      In light of Rivian becoming the 2nd most valued automaker. I want to put my MBA to good use and become a business consultant.

      Here's my plan.

      Step 1: Ford sells the electric F-150, patents, trademarks, production capacity, and intellectual property to me for 1 dollar.

      Step 2: I rename it and become an automotive electric start up. I go hype crazy and have an IPO in six months just as we launch deliveries. We only sell a couple stocks and I retain 75% of them.

      Step 3: Become 100+ Billion market cap

      Step 4: Ford buys my startup from me for a billion dollars, instantly increasing it's valuation and stock price into the third most valued automaker by virtue of it's holding. Kinda like how Yahoo was worthless but had a few billion in the Chinese Amazon as the only thing propping up it's valuation.

      Step 5: Buy a condo or 7 in Vail and an island in the Caribbean that has space for my own track.

      Who's with me?!

      I is smurt.

                        @forsweden I over charge for mediocre, obvious questionable advice. The question remains though, do you want to be an angel investor in my startup?

                          @derp If my plan goes through, I'll buy Oppo hosting fees in perpetuity until my car collection is more important.

                            @future-next-gen-s2000-owner Agree the valuation of the "new" "innovative" car companies vastly exceeding the old boring ones (that actually like... make stuff) is a little absurd. Like... I like Rivian. I think it was bold and correct to delay the IPO until they were actually delivering cars. It shows confidence in their ability to produce and sell a product. So many of these are like "give us billions and maybe eventually we'll consider setting up a factory somewhere and make some keychains or something" and that is dumb. But... are they worth more than Ford and GM? No. Without getting too close to oppopolitics it sort of shows the stock market is (A) fictional and (B) more interested in the new and exciting and the boring and established. The latter is fair. The longer a company is around the more it is driven by quarterly profits over innovation. Why make a thing that might be polarizing when you can sand all the edges off and go for broad appeal?
