      His real value is in SpaceX, unfortunately Tesla falling doesn’t hurt him much, he only owns 13% of Tesla, but has 42% in SpaceX with much greater voting power. He could take a golden parachute from Tesla, forget about it and use corruption to funnel US funds into SpaceX.

      But one thing it does hurt severely… his ego.

    The would need to crash another order of magnitude for anything to happen. Tesla’s stock is crazy overvalued even now and the only justification for the over-valuation is the track record and insane over-promises of Musk. That’s the reality as investors see it. They will still bet on him until they’re thoroughly convinced that he’s not the golden child anymore.

        With overvaluation its meant that they are the most valuable car manufacturer while having made the fewest cars (at least among the large ones and this is before tesla stock tanked)

        Most of the stockvalue tessla has is made from musk generated hype, not from the company making cars.

        I am not arguing about the car quality

    He’ll still own *the largest share of Tesla so it won’t change anything.

    *Corrected my post but the point remains: he controls the company and their image to such a degree he has to be asked to step away, all in an effort to improve his fortunes primarily.

    It’s a meme coin. Whether or not they sell cars is irrelevant (don’t invest in Tesla).

    Edit: The share price was 407 5th of November 2021.
