Tesla “Takedown” or Takeover? (Get in Early)

Brace yourself.
Tesla Takedown 2025 is coming.
And yet, the strangest thing: Musk doesn’t seem worried at all.
Why, you ask? Well, we here at Paradigm Press have been wondering the same thing for a while. And now we think we know.
As protestors prepare to swarm Tesla showrooms this weekend…
Let’s take a look at another industrialist under siege: Andrew Carnegie.
Carnegie’s Secret Blueprint
During the Homestead Strike of 1892, Carnegie’s steel empire became the epicenter of national outrage.
His mills? Surrounded. His company? Accused of tyranny. His leadership? Painted as the face of unchecked industrial power.
Protestors set fire to barges and beat surrendered security guards in the streets. At least ten people died. The confrontation dominated national headlines and turned public opinion sharply against Carnegie.
And yet…
Despite the hatred and outrage, Carnegie Steel didn’t collapse.
It expanded.
The company ramped up production and cemented its place at the center of American industrial power.
While the torches burned, Carnegie was doubling down on three crucial things: automation, integration, and control.
He moved to own every part of the steel supply chain: iron ore mines, railroads, ships, and furnaces.
That’s how he won.
At his peak, Carnegie was worth $480 million—which, at the time, was 2% of U.S. GDP.
Fast forward to 2025.
Musk is Repeating History (Get in Early)
Consider the similarities.
Tesla showrooms are being firebombed. Protestors are spray-painting “Fascist Fuel” on Cybertrucks. The FBI has launched a domestic terror task force to stop anti-Tesla arson rings.
Musk is being labeled a dictator, a monopolist, a would-be technoking with an unhinged X account and a god complex.
But that’s the surface story.
Just like Carnegie…
Musk is making moves that will outlast the outrage.
And he’s not just building products. He’s using the Carnegie blueprint: automation, integration, and control.
In other words, he’s going after the entire stack: Raw data. Silicon. Training. Inference. Deployment.
Different century. Different tools. Same play.
But right now, there’s one company standing in Musk’s way: Nvidia.
For years, Tesla—like every other AI player—relied on Nvidia’s chips to train its neural networks. But Musk saw what Carnegie saw: “If you depend on someone else’s infrastructure, you’re playing in their empire.”
That’s why he’s been quietly trying to eliminate his reliance on Nvidia—and build something much more powerful.
If he wins?
Tesla won’t just be a car company, or a robot company, or an energy company. It’ll be the first vertically integrated intelligence company in human history.
BUT…
That doesn’t mean you should rush out and buy Tesla.
Our own Paradigm colleague Enrique Abeyta has identified an even better opportunity. It’s the ONLY company capable of helping Musk reach his Carnegie-like ambitions.
He’s calling it the “Nvidia Killer.”
And the best part? This company wins no matter who wins the AI war. For this reason, Enrique believes it could be the most overlooked stock of the decade.
But you have to act before April 1.
