Trust the process..
If you’re investing in Tesla and expecting a steady, predictable ride, let me stop you right there. A well known phrase among Tesla enthusiasts is “Elon will Elon,” meaning Elon Musk will do whatever he believes is necessary, regardless of the short term cost even if it rattles investors.
Take, for instance, his acquisition of Twitter. At the time, even many in the Tesla community questioned the move. “Was buying a social media platform the right decision for the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures?” The markets didn’t think so. Tesla’s stock plummeted to the low hundreds during that period, leaving many investors frustrated.
Elon Musk went from being criticized as “Distracted” for buying X to investors now asking, “Can Tesla buy shares in X.ai?” This dramatic shift underscores the importance of trusting the process. Musk’s decisions often challenge conventional thinking, but they consistently align with his long term vision. X’s synergy with X.ai highlights its potential to revolutionize AI, and investors are now seeing the synergies with Tesla’s mission. The lesson? Musk’s moves may seem unconventional in the short term, but his track record proves that patience and trust often lead to groundbreaking results.
Elon’s dedication to free speech and his willingness to act on principle is both his strength and a source of volatility. He doesn’t follow the typical CEO playbook of remaining quiet and predictable. Instead, he’ll tweet things like funny memes, roasting politicians activist judges, the famous “The stock price is too high, imo,” etc. For short-term traders, this unpredictability is maddening.
“We don’t need subsidies thank you”
Another striking example is Elon’s early call to end EV incentives subsidies that many believed were essential to Tesla’s success. Musk’s move wasn’t just bold it was strategic, designed to emphasize Tesla’s ability to stand on its own merits while advancing the broader mission of sustainability.
At a time when critics claimed Tesla owed its success to government support, Musk’s decision to advocate for ending incentives sent a clear message: Tesla isn’t dependent on subsidies it’s leading the charge on its own. This wasn’t just about financial independence, it was a statement of strength, showing the world that Tesla’s innovation and efficiency are what drive its success, not external assistance.
This move also reinforced Musk’s focus on the greater picture. By removing subsidies, he pushed the entire industry to innovate and compete without crutches, accelerating the transition to a sustainable future. While executing on his job at D.O.G.E. In cutting cost for the government.
Elon Musk’s decisions often provoke debate, but they consistently reflect his commitment to the greater good. Whether it’s transforming Twitter into X or advocating for an even playing field in the EV industry, Musk’s long term vision and bold actions demonstrate a level of leadership that prioritizes progress over short term gains.
So, no you can’t count on Elon to boost the stock price in the short term. But if you believe in Tesla’s mission and Elon’s ability to execute, the long term rewards often far outweigh the temporary turbulence.
