If a company has a weak quarter then blaming the CEO and largest shareholder is a perfectly valid thing to do. Who else has more blame? How else do you expect people to judge company performance then stock prices? This isn't some witch hunt, this is normal business procedures. A company has a bad quarter we question it's leadership.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoIf one company has a weak quarter while its competitors have strong ones, you blame the company and CEO. But if everybody in the sector is having a weak quarter, generally you blame it on macroeconomic or outside conditions.

- bryanlarsen 3y agoTesla & BYD comprise almost 50% of the entire EV market. None of the companies you list are on the top 10. The leader of the EV market is BYD. So by your logic we should blame their CEO. Yet nobody knows his name, so we obviously aren't. It seems to mostly be a China problem. Tesla has massive China exposure, but a lot less than BYD. BYD was hit harder than Tesla.
- CodeWriter23 3y agoTypically the blame is on the CEO’s performance, not his personal views. This is nothing more than a cheap hit piece by a regime that hates Musk giving a voice to the little people.
