His last pay package faced pushback, too, and was still granted.
I don't expect any less of this one.
I also don't understand how this company is so overvalued when, as of late, it isn't growing.
Market cap has absolutely nothing to do with reality. You can be a company with $100 in the bank and still have the whole company value be $50 according to Wall Street. Luckily this is a perfect system, and it can continue indefinitely without hurting anyone or breaking anything!
Yeah, I realize this, but what I don't get is "why".
Typically there are malicious players, a game to be won, etc. - why is Tesla propped up? I can't figure out the reason.
There's a lot of money to be made destroying companies. Sophisticated financial instruments like swaps, leveraged buyouts, and death spiral financing can be used to vampirically destroy publicly traded companies. You buy a controlling share using debt, install a bunch of overpaid C-suite execs who sell all their shares and hire overpaid consultants to tell them useless shit, meanwhile the fundamentals of the business erode, corporate media goes negative on command while your hedge fund buddies short the shit out of it. Sooner or later the whole thing goes bankrupt and private equity buzzards swoop in to snap up whatever value remains.
I haven't had coffee yet so this is not an essay, only a mild rant. I'm not gonna die on any of these hills right now, it's my day off.
Second thoughts here: TSLA is ascendant because Musk is emblematic of billionaires everywhere - deeply mediocre, undeserving, predatory, and absolutely confident that he's the greatest fucker in the world.
It's the new Business Plot basically - they chose their new stooges carefully this time, choosing men with absolutely zero moral fibre. Smedley Butler would never have gotten them this far.
If the company has negative revenue, that would make sense. Prices are somewhat forward looking. It's not just a statement if physically held assets at that exact moment
I've seen this happen with a company that increasingly beat earnings (and is EPS positive) every quarter this year. Wall Street doesn't care because it has already made up its mind what has to happen.
Sounds like a great investment opportunity.
Time will tell.
