    And let me guess, stonk went up still?

    It’s not about the companies, it’s a gamble stock, divorced from the performance of the company.

      Yes, because while they had lower profits than previously, they still had higher profits than expected. This market behavior is in no way unique or limited to Tesla or “meme stocks”. If a company increases profits, but less than expected, their stock usually drop despite increased profit. It’s because value is tied to actual results vs. expected results on the short term.
