Jim Cramer Defends Elon Musk's Crazy Call: Every CEO Would Love To Go Off Like That | CNBC

[bctopper]

Amen. Elon cares about the long term future of his company like any good CEO should. Love the guy.

Cramer nailed it. He gets it because he drives a Tesla Model S himself. Every analyst who follows Tesla should be required to spend some one-on-one time with a Tesla vehicle. Then they'd understand why Tesla isn't just another car company.

I don't often agree with Cramer but he is right on this one. Well said! :-)

[ChavezDIY]

Cramer on point here. The call was getting boring until Elon juiced it up. Tesla stock isn't for the short term, anxious, and don't understand the technology types.

[Wisegogo]

He built the brand and quality "TESLA". He wants to go Mars when some people calls him "crazy" He is not just ordinary CEO satisfying at status quo. Like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk is a visionary CEO seeing long term.

Lmao remember when he was telling people not to buy Tesla's stock 8 years ago?😂

I'm surprised that Cramer was supportive of Elon Musk. Several years ago, Cramer was against Tesla stock, so it was just a surprising reaction. Maybe he has seen the light?

[JanetWilliams]

Musk is under a HUGE amount of pressure right now. My gut feeling is, whatever he says right now, just take with a little bit of salt. Hang in there, be supportive, and things will level out.

If you're looking at Tesla simply as another stock, you shouldn't be trading it- simple. That being said, cocaine has done a number on Jim Cramer.

[qlwsuzd]

I mean I read the shareholder letter and he said the numbers in the letter.

[jamespharris]

Please just keep doubting the man until I get my hands on some real money.

[UTUBESUCK]

Jim Cramer is my new idol. I love this guy. Tesla will prevail, despite all those who want to destroy it.

[Mrbfgray]

For those confused--mix of humor/sarcasm and dead serious from Cramer, but I know him well enough to decipher, first 90 seconds he MEANS IT.

[truthseeker]

Elon is a star! Doing some amazing work for long term gain.

[jasoningram]

Jim Cramer sees it an says it how it is. Thanks Jim for having the integrity to disagree with all the "anti-Tesla media circus."

[zezizarjaars]

Hahahahaha, I'm going to watch this guy all day, I can't stop laughing about his comments

[jarrodvsinclair]

This was a great call and it marked the start Jim's conversion to a tsla bull

[mactek]

Translation: Cramer has Tesla stock that he hasn't unloaded yet because he doesn't want to take a hit.

[bin]

Jim's cocaine burnout is really showing. Not sure how much longer he can keep going on 11 all the time.

Joseph Spak was cut off because the question that he was asking was already answered in the shareholder letter "Model 3 net reservations, including configured orders that had not yet been delivered, continued to exceed 450, 000 at the end of Q1 even though fewer than 20 stores worldwide had Model 3 on display."
