Elon Musk tried to pump Tesla\u2019s stock (TSLA) by claiming a 10x increase in profits, but it failed. In fact, the stock is down 10% since Musk\u2019s pump.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After an analyst posted a prediction that Tesla would increase its profits by 256%, Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded<\/p>\n

\n

It will require outstanding execution, but I think more like 1000% gain for Tesla in 5 years is possible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The comment was quickly propagated by Elon fans and the community of \u201cTesla all-ins\u201d as being a sign that Musk, who is quite busy with X and DOGE lately, still believes in Tesla.<\/p>\n

And yet, Tesla\u2019s stock is down 10% since Musk\u2019s pump:<\/p>\n

There are a few factors at play here. Mostly, it\u2019s just not a great pump and shows Musk is disconnectedness with Tesla and its shareholders.<\/p>\n

Many of his fans took it as a \u201c1000% or 10x increase in Tesla\u2019s stock\u201d, but the analyst Musk was responding to was talking about profits.<\/p>\n

At the time of the tweet, Tesla was trading at 150x profits. With a P\/E of 15, Tesla\u2019s stock price already assumed a roughly 10x increase in profits over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Musk saying that with \u201coutstanding execution,\u201d he \u201cthinks\u201d Tesla could \u201cpossibly\u201d achieve a \u201cmore like\u201d 10x increase in profits in \u201c5 years,\u201d is just not the pump that his fans thought it was. In fact, it was basically him saying that Tesla is currently priced for perfect execution.<\/p>\n

Despite the drop in the last two days, Tesla is still trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of ~130.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

I think this shows how disconnected Elon is from Tesla and its shareholders. They thought, and he probably did too, that this would be a great pump, but it\u2019s simply not. <\/p>\n

Especially not amid protests and boycotts against Tesla while the company already had demand issues.<\/p>\n

They are clinging to the idea that the Model Y refresh will save the company and return it to growth, but I don\u2019t see that happening right now.<\/p>\n

I think that Elon distancing himself from Tesla would be the only thing that would help right now, and it doesn\u2019t look like it will happen. So, the shareholders will have to push him out, which won\u2019t happen until the stock price motivates them.<\/p>\n

We are still quite a bit away from that, but I think it\u2019s headed in that direction fast.<\/p>\n
