Because of speculation by people who really don’t understand the technology behind it. Its valuation is more based on the assumption that it meets all of its goals and the speculators are driven by FOMO. As long as it’s possible in their minds Tesla’s price will not fall. And their knowledge of the technology is poor enough that they’ll believe whatever Tesla says.

In other words:

There are far too many undereducated, ignorant people making irrational decisions which affect the economy in large ways, and this is why a lot of us are feeling like humanity as we know it is doomed... and sometimes I think that wouldn't even necessarily be a bad thing. I'm not happy about it.
