I could make the opposite claim (that with a different CEO, Tesla would be worth ten times as much as it is now) and you couldn't disprove it.

Tesla is literally a unicorn in the car industry, in terms of stock valuations, that is. If that isn't verifiable I don't know what else is.

What's not verifiable is your claim that it couldn't be valued higher with a different CEO.

That is unfalsifiable.
