Whether you support Elon/DOGE or not, pretty wild to shred a $1T consumer brand like Elon has.



A big part of TSLA's valuation was being a meme stock. Was never actually worth $1T.


At one brief period of time, TSLA had an annualized P/E of 40 and a CAGR of 50%. Those were not unreasonable numbers.

But with it's now negative CAGR, P/E should be in the range of 10 or so.


This is not his first rodeo trashing a wildly successful brand.

When will the board wake up? I guess they never will as his own relatives are board members.

He should never be allowed to head a company again after his performance with Twitter and tesla


He also effectively dismantled one of the rarest and most coveted achievements in marketing: the transformation of a common verb into a universally recognized reference to a specific product.

By renaming Twitter, he erased the cultural shorthand of "tweeting," a level of brand entrenchment that most companies can only dream of attaining.


Tesla is absurdly over-valued. They're going to experience a correction eventually... Elon has been delaying the inevitable because he's over leveraged.


It's hard to buy into their valuation that at one point was ~6x Toyota.


TSLA actual stock price should be 30. Waiting for it to reach there.
