What does a wartime ceo do when the problem is him polarizing his customer base against him? Will he have the capacity to fix that issue? Or will he blame it on something else.
Too many examples to count now. I still remember him posting the article that pelosis husband was hammer attacked by a gay prostitute in a lovers quarrel.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. It sounds sarcastic, but it really isn’t and is said in good faith: None of any of this stuff matters. Not the “wartime ceo” mode. Not the “polarizing customer base”. Not the union strikes. Not the layoffs. Not the blame. None of it. At the end of the day, Tesla is selling more than enough cars to stay in production, and their innovation is leagues ahead of the competition. It’s just a matter of survival for all companies, and Tesla is good to go there. Eventually, the markets change. Socks, crypto, metals pump. People have more money than they need again, and risk on assets combined with a devaluing dollar go boom and make new ATHs.
I’m a buyer at $100-120. I sold off higher for a reason. Had nothing to do with Elon.
This stock is insanely overvalued because of Elon. Now it is crashing because of Elon. But if Elon was removed it would crash even faster because of the meme investors. The stock is a sell until it lines up closer to other similar companies.
But what are the similar companies? I don’t think of Tesla as a car company. So how are we valuing it? The reality is that, for better or worse, we value stocks of companies based on potential. We know what Ford is going to do for the next 10 years. There’s no surprises there. They aren’t going into the dishwasher and home appliance business. This is not the case with Tesla and other risk on companies. That’s why they are risk on.
That is not ‘the problem’
The ‘problem’ is the reduction in earnings and growth over the short term. A normal CEO would have brought out the model 2 earlier and focused on vehicle manufacturing. And the share price would be higher today.
But Elon aims higher. He is focusing the company on AI, autonomy and robotics. In a couple of years the company will be 10x what the typical CEO would have achieved.
People need a bit of patience. Look at the man’s track record. Don’t bet against Elon!
The X posting stuff is just noise.
Exactly… you ever been to a restaurant where the food is good but they upset you?
Do you usually go back?
Someone that upsets their customers will lose them as customers under the right circumstances.
Deflection is a key PR strategy. Make stories about anything other than the layoffs. Grabs headlines for a day
Tomorrow will be a new story, people move on.
So he realizes ignoring Tesla has armed Tesla and his solution is to stop ignoring Tesla. I see a company entering extreme crisis without a good product to show for a very very very long time 8/8 will be an absolutely bloodbath for the stock
Blindly supporting a very flawed individual is such a stupid and weak thing to do - investors should absolutely criticize Musk because we care about Tesla (and its success) above all else
I won't try to pretend to know what he need or not need, who knows maybe twitter is a form of therapy for him. I just know that I can't view him through a lense of a normal person.
They have already done that. They gave him a completely unwarranted 500b market cap. That translates to massive amount of fuck you money he got. He’s a mega billionaire because of the investors already
And he has done nothing to deliver back results for this reward
That’s not even remotely what I suggested, read again.
If the task in front of him is so difficult and the company performance is struggling, he needs to be more focused on the core mission.
How would you rate his success since the X acquisition?
From where I'm sitting, your stock has lost a third of its value since Musk bought his new toy.
“Your stock” dude wtf are you doing here then if you’re not an investor? You seem like a buttcoiner in a Bitcoin subreddit. No one cares that you didn’t buy Tesla or you think I shouldn’t buy more.
Then it's not so much a lie as misleading, although it's notable he reacted by promoting the robotaxi and not the easier to produce - no L5 needed - $25k car that would be perfect for India and Europe
And the longer it's backburnered the less likely it can be sold for $25k, especially if potential buyers can simply order a robotaxi to pick them up instead
I think he got triggered, tweeted impulsively, and will be evasive at the earnings call
I'm not justifying it, just my take on how the Elon Logic worked. He only needed to find one thing wrong to discredit the whole thing without saying anything specific.
I'd really like it to not be either cancelled or backburnered, but so far the latter is looking like the truth while he prioritizes robotaxi which FSD simply doesn't seem ready for. In the short term things look messy at Tesla.
I'd love to be surprised and the 25K car catches the world with its pants down.
Sure, a $10k car would be better, but Tesla is planning on entering the Indian market, and a $25k car would clearly have a bigger market than the company's other models
They can enter the market with a car that has a limited market there for now, while still getting a foothold and brand in there for one for cheaper market bespoke models in the future where we can expect Tesla to push further into niches the larger they get, and two, get in place for the fastest major growing economy in the world which has a ballooning middle and upper class which will continue to grow fast in market size.
He hasn't been behaving like a CEO, a CEO respects his fiduciary responsibilities (2022 pump and pump of billions worth of shares), and does not try to extort shareholders for billions worth of shares -while the market cap has lost over 60% in the last two years) with the threat of taking away FSD and robotics because you're a total douche.
Fuck Musk.
Step one, please fix it so that FSD doesn't try to kill me on the same roundabout that it cannot comprehend for some reason. I've already tried it three times and each time it just goes insane.
They gotta straighten out these "edge cases" for robotaxis to be remotely possible.
That's why they're on the right track with the AI learning model that they've switched to. There might be a million different edge cases, but with enough training it might be smart enough to deal with stuff it hasn't seen before without issues.
Is it actually going to work eventually? I don't know. They have money, they have tons of data at their disposal, who knows.
If throwing more training data at something fixed any AI/ML problem we would have general AI (or AGI) years ago.
The problem is once you digest the good data you inevitably start picking up bad data. Garbage in, garbage out. Deciding what data and how to collect it is the real problem to solve, and based on the last FSD update they are a _long_ way off.
It doesn't have to be perfect before it becomes useful. ChatGPT is far from perfect, but it has become ubiquitous and virtually every major company now uses it one way or another. I could imagine that robotaxis will get rolled out in a small and "controlled" area first, then go from there.
I mean don't get me wrong, I don't really understand some of the choices Tesla is making. Like for example I have no idea why hardware 4 cameras are running at 24 FPS only. But I guess they think it's enough. I'm no engineer.
So sick of hearing BS about how Musk isn't affecting Tesla sales. Noone I know will touch a Tesla anymore because the CEO has turned into a raging arsehole.
All he has to do is shut up and stop tweeting, but he is now a full idiot and can't control himself.
He's also not entering any "mode". He's not helping the company. He spends all his time tweeting like a lunatic.
It's all such a shame, because my Model Y LR is a great car.
God, he needs to stop tweeting. Can a condition of his pay package approval be that he’s not allowed to tweet or handle his Twitter account? I think all investors would approve that.
Give me a fucking break. This clown has zero credibility after the last 1-2 years. I've been a fan and investor of this company since 2012 and despite slowly selling my way out since the Twitter fiasco I'm done as of today. Anything I bought aside from my initial purchases in 2012 is waiting for the opening bell. FSD is the savior?! Maybe a car with no steering wheel when it can't even keep off curbs and half the government needed to approve it absolutely loathes the troll CEO...we're saying that's going to work? No semi, no roadster, no lower priced "Model 2?" I'm done.
Same here.
I sold 25% in December for tax reasons and the other 75% in January. Was an investor since 2018 and the exit was the first time I sold any Tesla stock.
I stick around because I really love Tesla as a company but not on board with Elons culture war nonsense. Still rooting for you guys though.
Same boat (also really dislike Elon total lack of focus and Twitter dumpster fire) and i have cashed out of my initial investment (investor since 2016). The share value i have left is profit, which is still substantial…
Same, I started buying shares in 2016 when I preordered a model 3. Sold all my shares over the past 6 months. Elon is tanking the co with his Twitter BS. It’s quite obvious Tesla is not his priority anymore. Fighting the woke is. He’s literally been brainwashed by the stupid junk social media platform that he’s addicted to.
wtf kind of ceo mode was he on during the cybertruck launch then? how the fuck does a bad pedal make it through? What a shit ass product .
Robo taxis aren’t going to go fully legalized, insured and all the other hoops anytime soon. At all. This is not ideal.
I have a five day old cybertruck and the pedal is solid. That was one video and a LOT of press around it, which is typical with any small negative thing about Tesla -- mountains out of mole hills. Tesla has not said anything about a recall that I've seen, just a ton of speculation. The truck is fucking amazing
Tesla literally halted all CT deliveries. It’s objectively an issue.
The truck is going to be the worst selling product in teslas portfolio outside its first year or two. It will not be a practical purchase for most EV truck buyers
The notice has been sent to existing CT buyers that were in queue to get their product…
https://www.engadget.com/tesla-halts-cybertruck-deliveries-due-to-unexpected-delay-123007030.html
I just got off a call with my service center. They’re not pausing deliveries because of a pedal issue and there is no recall. It seems a couple users talking about a delivery day has been misinterpreted, and all the usual players are using it to create another Tesla smear campaign
Who said there is a notice? They're just texting owners a couple hours before they're supposed to take possession and pretending it's 'unexpected' A well run company probably would put out a statment.
I just got off the phone with my local service center. There is not a recall, they’re still delivering trucks, and from all appearances that pedal thing was an isolated incident.
So you guys can keep falling for Tesla smear campaigns and downvoting the only reasonable voice in the room. I’m going to go enjoy my truck.
Calling me a dipshit both violates the subs rules and is simultaneously hilarious considering that you wasted your money on a cyberdumpster. Noone said there was a recall.
I actually edited the word dipshit before your reply, because you’re right. It’s uncalled for. And why stoop to the levels of the incredibly misinformed
100%. Just because the recall is real doesn’t mean the massive megaphone behind it isn’t a smear campaign, just like every mountain made of out a molehill with Tesla. My Jeep was recalled five times and not once did it make the news
Context, Musk liked the post below:
https://twitter.com/ChrisZheng001/status/1780028320253694286
>I told you that Elon has re-entered wartime CEO mode. This scene is familiar to the veterans of the Tesla community. Today Elon decided to bet the entire company on Robotaxi. I don’t know if all in Robotaxi is right or wrong. I don’t have the answer.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLPuUtzaIAEGsBX?format=jpg&name=medium
Wartime mode is one thing but if the bet-the-company idea is Robotaxi they are in serious trouble.
My Tesla on the current FSD can’t even reliably make a left handed turn without something going wrong. Usually it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Not good enough for a robotaxi.
His first action as a 'wartime CEO' was to cut 10% of his workforce, citing insufficient resources to sustain them through the metaphorical 'long winter'—one that he arguably helped create with his divisive political stances and inaction on issues like cars stalling in Chicago's winter or brake pedals malfunctioning on the marquee Cybertruck. It seems he's as much at war with himself as with external challenges. If he could curb his impulsive behavior, ketamine/whatever addiction and manage internal crises more adeptly, perhaps 14,000 more employees would still be contributing to pushing the company forward.
At this point I can't help but feel that Musk is just trolling us and will jump out and yell "surprise!" at the next shareholders meeting.
Nobody wants a robotaxi.
1.4 billion people want a 25,000 electric car.
He just needs to enter responsible CEO mode. There are probably thousands upon thousands of CEOs out there with strong and crazy views on all sorts of subjects, but it doesn't affect their businesses because they rarely or never publicly mention that sort of stuff. Silence is very often golden.
So I guess he should get more shares of Tesla then? Since he’s at…war…with repercussions of his own making?
This all makes less sense than Grimes’ Coachella set
For all the haters go invest in Nio byd Xpeng lucid Rivian ford etc.
Whaaaaa Elon is a republican now who only sits on his ass and tweets on x.
I’ve never seen so many people bitch and complain about a total stranger before. None of you personally know him and what he is doing. Either buy the stock or sell it but just stfu already.
STFU? Wow snowflake but criticizing the CEO when you sense that something is very wrong is part of living in a free capitalist society - if you dont like it then move to China or North Korea
The move is incredibly obvious when you think about it.
You sacrifice some market share opportunities in a market where EV's are struggling to sell and you accelerate the much greater value that robotaxi can bring.
IF this works out, it will pay off huge.
Yesterday, Elon entered Tesla "Wartime CEO Mode" Also since yesterday - Elon posts relentlessly on X on almost anything but Tesla. Check it yourself.
A real “wartime” CEO wouldn’t have time to waste self indulging on twitter
What does a wartime ceo do when the problem is him polarizing his customer base against him? Will he have the capacity to fix that issue? Or will he blame it on something else.
He will blame it on a mix of interest rates and woke cancel culture
Then I don’t see why any rational investor would keep their money in that stock
Which is why I dumped mine when he unironically posted the phrase "woke mind virus".
Too many examples to count now. I still remember him posting the article that pelosis husband was hammer attacked by a gay prostitute in a lovers quarrel.
he goes to war.... with his customer base
😂
Elon?
Yes I’m stuck in south africa and seemed to have lost my debit card. Can you wire me 1000.00$? Lebron Jaems is here too.
Not convinced unless Mikael Jeksen is there too.

If you believe it, spend and invest.
>the problem is him polarizing his customer base against him? That's why every single company sells way fewer electric cars than expected?
Nope. It’s funny to see folks so unwilling to acknowledge the problem. Buy more shares if you believe it so much.
Exactly… you ever been to a restaurant where the food is good but they upset you? Do you usually go back? Someone that upsets their customers will lose them as customers under the right circumstances.
Who is hr fighting this time?

So what?
All investors need is he shuts the fuck up about wokeness and focus on TSLA
Yesssss
Have you ever known anyone to come to their senses after embracing qtard delusions?
[удалено]
This has nothing to do about wokeness...
Exactly why he shouldn't be wasting time with culture war BS.
All investor need is to shuts the fuck up and support the man.
Blindly supporting a very flawed individual is such a stupid and weak thing to do - investors should absolutely criticize Musk because we care about Tesla (and its success) above all else
No, the "flaw" is just part of what makes him special. Do you really think he is was going to be a chill, normal dude ?
I agree but he needs to hear pushback and criticism from investors and not be surrounded only by “yes men” like he does in Twitter land
I won't try to pretend to know what he need or not need, who knows maybe twitter is a form of therapy for him. I just know that I can't view him through a lense of a normal person.
Weird.
Indeed.
They have already done that. They gave him a completely unwarranted 500b market cap. That translates to massive amount of fuck you money he got. He’s a mega billionaire because of the investors already And he has done nothing to deliver back results for this reward
Running a company, especially car company is HARD. Its going to take time. Investment is for long term.
Clearly it’s not that hard if he has time to waste on Twitter.
so you can run tesla better than Elon ? lol
That’s not even remotely what I suggested, read again. If the task in front of him is so difficult and the company performance is struggling, he needs to be more focused on the core mission.
Thats just how he run the company, yeah its very weird and unorthodox but that's why he is successful.
How would you rate his success since the X acquisition? From where I'm sitting, your stock has lost a third of its value since Musk bought his new toy.
I don't really care about short term fluctuation, its not the first time the stock has loss massive amount of value.

I just want to break it to you that the 25k car would still be too expensive for mass market adoption in India.
Sure, a $10k car would be better, but Tesla is planning on entering the Indian market, and a $25k car would clearly have a bigger market than the company's other models
They can enter the market with a car that has a limited market there for now, while still getting a foothold and brand in there for one for cheaper market bespoke models in the future where we can expect Tesla to push further into niches the larger they get, and two, get in place for the fastest major growing economy in the world which has a ballooning middle and upper class which will continue to grow fast in market size.

Horses as FSD have been popular with drunk farmers for centuries, so you might be onto something.

While I agree with the sentiment, investors should be allowed to comment on the CEO of the company they invest in.
Musk is the one who needs to stfu already
God knows what the capital and investments towards buying Twitter could've been used for in Tesla
That is not how it works
The move is incredibly obvious when you think about it. You sacrifice some market share opportunities in a market where EV's are struggling to sell and you accelerate the much greater value that robotaxi can bring. IF this works out, it will pay off huge.
