I think you kinda missed the point. To fire him would be admitting he isn’t anything special which also means neither is Tesla. Ford had $48BB in Q4 revenue and trades for around $10/share. Tesla had $25BB in Q4 revenue, yet trades for $240/share. Without Elon, Tesla is just another car company and would likely lose over $230/share. They can never fire Elon. They are paid in shares. The only thing they care about is that number and absolutely nothing else.

They can never fire Elon. Without him, there’s no denying Tesla is just another auto maker. And if Tesla is just another auto maker, the valuation should be significantly lower than most others because at the end of they day, they ain’t sellin enough cars.

Tbh I was tired way before any of this.

Wtf, there are more coming??

Somehow looks more lifelike than the real thing.
