FINALE · THE GRADE
D
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, FSD sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: FSD is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s whether the price paid for the stock is too high.
