Why Tesla's $5 billion capex cut isn't the warning sign AI stock bears think it is

Tesla (TSLA) reduced its 2026 capital expenditure guidance by $5 billion to $20 billion, sparking market concerns about AI demand. Analyst Dan Ives attributed the cut to challenges in producing Optimus robots, not a slowdown in AI. He expects Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN) to maintain their AI spending. Meta (META) reported negative free cash flow for the first time since 2012 due to AI investments. Oil prices also rose, contributing to a tech stock sell-off.
