Revenue has flatlined, but investors' confidence comes from Musk's track record for delivering good returns to investors. I think we can agree Musk succeeded in 2020 to 2025 in this regard. Whether you are confident he can do it a

Some combination of the two, for sure. doesn't mean that Musk can't keep doing it. however you describe it or define it, it's a proven strategy at this point. I'm not sure Larry knew how Musk would make him good on Twi

Not sure who determines the threshold, he certainly goes to court more than your average person, but these are not start ups, they are large companies under a lot of scrutiny. I don't think the comparison is valid

He gets away with it for one reason only, and because he consistently delivers good returns on capital. Most of Tesla's revenue derives from Model Y and FSD subs. I agree that Cybertruck was a marketing ploy. Don't think it was ev

It's a derogatory comment among certain types of technical employee, I would agree. Not so much amongst those in leadership or softer roles. I wouldn't put cybertruck in the win column personally

Perhaps my marketing background is clouding my view, but have exceptional hyping skills seems quite useful when attracting investment. And fact is Musk is building a lot of stuff of real substance. The hype to substance ratio isn't qui

Why does he? that's an arbitrary standard set by you. His investors are quite happy with his success rate. He is constantly building new stuff. And as a consumer who has had great experience with every product I've bought, so am I

he seems to return to his investors quiet effectively, which is ultimately what a CEO has to do to attract more capital to build stuff. And I have a Tesla and starlink and I'm quite happy with the level of autonomy the car has, so he h

Good points. Works both ways though, you are splitting your time between two worlds, and don't have a fully clear view on the costs of bad choices on a small business to know this you need to know what processes these businesses have
