Part 5/10:
The Impact of Twitter and Company Strategy
Many believe that Musk’s focus on Twitter has diverted attention from Tesla, possibly contributing to its stock decline. The chart analysis shows Tesla’s stock correlating with the S&P 500 until Musk’s Twitter deal, after which Tesla’s performance diverged sharply, continuing downward while the broader market remained relatively stable.
Musk’s response suggests a strategic defiance, much like historical figures such as Steve Jobs, implying that short-term stock volatility might be a necessary sacrifice for long-term vision. Musk’s approach appears to be confrontational—addressing criticism head-on, sometimes to the detriment of investor confidence.
