I would think Tesla fundamentals and operations are basically the same. The CEO may be a twat in public, but that only dims a halo that smart money wouldn't pay much attention to, as long as he doesn't cross any dangerous lines. The biggest danger is that he's too distracted by Twitter and Tesla suffers. After all, Tesla culture has grown up in his image, no shocks there. There is a danger that people see risk of his self-annihilation, but if Tesla hasn't started planning already for succession in case of boating accident or similar, they really are at risk. And if he's the only CEO-god who can run it, their stock is a greater-fool exercise.
- sidibe 4y agoI think Tesla will be fine as a company with a different CEO, and some shareholders may wish for that, but the current valuation is entirely because of Elon. If he goes the value of the company will plummet back to the realm of a car company. Things like endless future demand and super scifi things about to be released by the end of the year will suck the magic out of the stock.
