Without a doubt, Tesla is the cult stock of the Millennial and Gen Z generations. The young adults view Elon as a god—the Nikola Tesla of our time. Meanwhile, the Gen X and Boomer generations don’t appear to have the same fervor as their children do.

Regardless of the situation, add a little humor into your life to balance your emotions.

To laugh at our own misfortune, we must be willing to play the fool.
