you can't forecast Tesla stock from its past movements. If you want to value Tesla in a classical way, you look at the car sales and you should sell immediately.

[involuntarilycelebrate]

His worth is simply a speculative valuation. Very little of what they say he is worth is liquid. When people don't want to buy, he's no longer of value.

[findtom]

Poor guy is down to his last $320 billion

[hael]

His most valuable asset is the office of presidency which he bought for $275 million.

It’ll take you 15yrs to build a career and reputation, but it only takes 15sec to burn it all down.

If Tesla were subject to Doge's supervision, then Elon would be the first to be fired.

Even Elon's own brother is dumping Tesla that tells you enough.

How smart is it to totally alienate ALL YOUR customer base - who believes climate change is real - in favor of supporting folks who believe climate change is a hoax! It's like a barber refusing men with heads full of hair while accepting only those who shave their heads!

His most valuable asset is probably the American taxpayer....and we need to stand up and tell whoever gives him this money, and new contracts, TO STOP IT. We should have a say where our money goes and I think he has grifted us long enough. I heard a few days ago that Starlink signal is terrible...and someone is giving HIM a contract instead of Verizon? Who approves these contracts? Will someone tell me?

After observing Elon Musk's behaviour over recent month, I would never buy any product associated with his name FULL STOP

The WORLD is diligently working to make Tesla a brief chapter in the automotive history books.

As a former business owner, I’ll never understand how some businessmen can involve themselves in politics. Right or leftwing, the value of money is the same

[GuitarWithBrett]

Proud of the world for pushing back on this dangerous weirdo .. if only same energy again the rest of the wanna be oligarchs

Remember when Musk dismissed BYD as a joke?

A classic case study for an MBA supplementary course.
'Don't get high on your own power.'

[abrakadavra]

Without Musk's lies and hype Tesla can not compete.

[garyonnen]

How one man killed a company, in just a few months.

[BennyKleykens]

Musk isn't Tesla's most valuable asset.

And Canada is shuttig down their operations in Canada. Charging stations now being removed and scrapped.

Lol. Hey Forbes, it’s not about his lack of focus on Tesla. It’s that people don’t like him, his actions and generally don’t like his association with fascists/nazis. People aren’t Picketing and dropping his stock because he’s not focused on Tesla. I’m certain the collapse of his sales in Europe aren’t because of his lack of focus. Nice try Forbes.
