Owning about 12k shares of TSLA, having followed the company closely since inception (when it was ran by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning), I can't see Tesla succeeding without Musk. It'll end up acquired, or as a boutique manufacturer like Ferrari.

Tesla's value is Musk's determination. Still, he needs to choose his actions more wisely, clearly.

If only all of the TSLA fanboys posted how much money they have on the line. After reading this, all the rest of your comments suddenly make sense.

Pro Tip: Don't get emotional over your investments or you are gonna lose the ability to think rationally and get burned.

I'm financially independent without my Tesla holdings. If it all goes to zero, I'm prepared for that.

If being a fanboy of a company working towards positive change in the world (which is so very often rare, unfortunately) is wrong, I don't want to be right. Everyone finds meaning in different ways. This is my small contribution.

Maybe. The main question is whether it will happen before or after bankruptcy (chapter 11 reorganization).
