Elon Musk commented on a 2021 optimistic prediction for Rivian that did not materialize, as its market cap fell below $9 billion from a forecasted $70 billion. Rivian's production struggles and the broader economic downturn have impacted its performance, despite initial high expectations and backing from Amazon. Meanwhile, Tesla's Future Fund (FFND) reduced its Tesla stake, reflecting concerns over near-term prospects, although it remains bullish on Tesla's long-term potential.
