The investor also shared his thoughts on Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Robotaxi efforts. "Mastering unsupervised autonomy could allow it [Tesla] to expand its robotaxi fleet," Black said before adding that Elon Musk's EV giant possesses the scale to "undercut all ride-hailing competitors."

Elsewhere, Tesla is also expanding its Robotaxi serviceable area as the company targets Phoenix, Arizona, according to officials from the city's local government.
