If Tesla had focused on being an auto company rather than a shiny new object company and if Elon Musk had focused on being a business leader rather than whatever he's been doing the past few years, we'd be having a completely different discussion. As it is, Elon Musk has lost his mojo, people are finally realizing he's been lying for years, and Tesla has never had the opportunity to establish operational excellence. None of this is good for business and their sales numbers are reflecting that.
- sidibe 2y agoWe'd be having a completely different discussion but Tesla would be a much less valuable company worth less than Toyota and others and Elon wouldn't be anywhere near the richest person in the world
- taylodl 2y agoSounds like you're saying Tesla has been a pump and dump stock all along.
- Zigurd 2y agoIt's been a meme stock with a very high percentage of individual investors all along. At first that was a brilliant way to get cheap capital. Also, cults are cheaper to build than conventional brand-building. It may have been the only way to build a real high-ish volume car maker. It just looks like a scam now because unwinding a meme stock cult frequently looks like like the end of an apocalyptic cult.
