Summary

Tesla investors, frustrated by the stock’s decline, are demanding accountability from Elon Musk, who recently illegally demanded federal employees justify their paychecks.

Shareholders took to Musk’s social media platform X, asking him to similar list his contributions to Tesla.

The stock has fallen for six straight sessions, underperforming the Nasdaq.

Meanwhile, Musk faced backlash for overstepping in government affairs, forcing Trump to smooth tensions.

    the amount he received with govt contracts and his habit of over-promising and under-delivering make me skeptical that the upwards trajectory can largely be blamed on retail investors.

    I don’t think it’s solely because of retail investors, there are a lot of venture capital firms that are also really stupid about where they keep their money, as well as foreign investors like the Saudi.

    Imo when the market overcooks right before a recession a lot of capital holders don’t really know what to do with their money and so they end up investing in things like Tesla, the next tallest building in the world, or weird projects like Neom.

      I mean, next tallest building in the world is at least a tangible object lol. FSD is 1s and 0s that they say work given very narrow parameters and weather. But yeah, completely agree
