What's the Better Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock: Palantir Technologies or Tesla?

The article compares Palantir (PLTR) and Tesla (TSLA) as AI plays, arguing Palantir is the better near-term AI investment. Palantir posted blockbuster Q1 results (revenue +85% YoY to $1.6B), raised guidance, and shows strong profitability metrics, while Tesla remains primarily an EV company with AI growth tied to long‑term robotaxi/humanoid plans. Both stocks trade at very high earnings multiples and have seen YTD weakness as investors reassess lofty expectations. The author warns of significant downside risk given richly priced valuations but favors Palantir because AI is already driving measurable revenue there, whereas Tesla’s AI story is still largely aspirational.
