Part 2/11:
One of the key takeaways from Musk’s discussion is how to gauge when Tesla is emerging from its current challenging period. While he doesn’t specify a single metric, Musk suggests that watching Tesla's stock price in conjunction with corporate actions—such as stock buybacks and executive stock option exercises—can provide clues. Notably, if Tesla’s stock becomes absurdly low and Elon Musk exercises his stock options, it could be a strong signal that the company’s bottom is near or has already passed. Musk clarified that these actions tend to happen when he perceives the stock is at a cycle low, incentivized by tax considerations and strategic timing.
