Elon and Tesla raking in a lot of chicken feed

Almost $12 billion in the last seven days.

quote:

Elon Musk added another $11.98 billion to his bank account over the last week, as tracked by the Dow Jones Market Data Group.

The most recent filings show Musk holds 423,622,000 shares in Tesla worth $53.87 billion as of close of trading on Jan.19. The total value of those holdings jumped to $67.89 billion based on Thursday’s closing price.

The weekly total doesn’t account for Musk’s other assets and liabilities as CEO of SpaceX and Twitter, founder of The Boring Company, and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. Forbes lists Musk’s overall worth at $168.7 billion.

Tesla is up nearly 25% over the past five days and up 48% since the start of the year. The stock remains the Nasdaq 100's best performer, despite being down approximately 42% lower over the past year.

Shares have also rallied the last month, revving almost 30% into the green. Tesla is currently on its longest winning streak since Sept.12, 2022, when it rose for five straight trading days.

Just goes to show you that people who don't understand business really don't understand business. They pontificate "we need more electric cars worldwide" and then the guy who is making the most electric cars in the world is going to go into the shitter because he bought twitter?

Like him or not he's generally a Midas in business.

Maybe not as smart or capable as Hunter Biden, but certainly has a demonstrated record of successes.

He has a ton of competition in the EV market.

I thought Elon was practically broke because he can't make good decisions.

To give you an idea of what $168.7 billion is, that would be 2,600 G-750 aircraft. He could buy and fly for one day a new G-650 everyday of the week for the next 7+ years and not run out of money. That is assuming the $168.7B is fixed - i.e. doesn't grow at all.

He literally can buy what ever he wants and not run out of money. Hell, if he put it all in T-bills the annual interest alone would be insane.

I don't think people really have an appreciation for how far ahead Tesla is in the EV market and perhaps more importantly in the self driving capability market which will be big in the future

But it's not his fault. Hell, everything, except big pharma, is down 30-50% of what it was last year. I know my investments are.

Tesla is down 40% compared with the broader NASDAQ-100 benchmark being down 14%.

Companies like Microsoft and Amazon are down 17% and 26% respectively. Apple is only down -9% which is frankly amazing and a testimony to how good of a CEO Tim Cook is.

So Tesla is objectively doing much worse than a list of comparable companies considering:

a) The tech benchmark is down 14%.

b) Tesla is down 40%.

c) The SP500 index is down 6% if we compare it to 500 top companies.

re: Elon and Tesla raking in a lot of chicken feed
Okay Elon, do this and I'll consider buying one of your EVs.

I want an affordable Sedan that carries two adults and two children with a battery (I'll cut you some slack on this) you can charge in 15 minutes. A battery that does not include cobalt mined using child labor. A battery that powers the vehicle for a minimum of 350 miles (in hilly terrain with A/C and radio on). Plus I don't want the batteries stuck under the car. Stick'em under the back seat. I'll need the truck space for luggage. Mission impossible? Is there anything impossible for Elon Musk and his engineers?

By affordable I mean $ 25 - 30 thousand for a four door sedan, tops!

Fair enough?

GM and Ford are both down about 40% YOY. Comparing auto manufacturers seems more reasonable than comparing an auto manufacturer to Amazon or Microsoft or Apple.
