Ah, so the good is Elon, the bad is Jerome Powell? Also, the whole stock market isn't down 43% - the S&P is only down 13%.

TSLA has underperformed the S&P 500 over the last year, but vastly outperformed it if you expand your time frame to 5 years - ~1,000% vs 50%.

Perhaps comparing the 43% drop over the last year to other comparable companies would provide a better picture.

1 Year TSLA: -43.28% GM: -29.99% FORD: -26.13% STLA: -33.09%

5 Years TSLA: 1,019% GM: -8.24% FORD: 9.24% STLA: -25.23%

Obviously Musk should go on Twitter and lie that he's taking Tesla private again to juice the stock. Maybe he'll get two slaps on the wrist this time.

You can't compare such a recent company, to others that were well established for decades. It means nothing.

I believe the criticism comes from the volatility of the company.

Who says Jerome Powell is bad? Fighting inflation due to, well, inflated asset values is a good thing, not bad. Just because it makes numbers go down doesn't mean it should be considered a bad thing.

Arguably the increase in the stock was because of the feds monetary policy. Low interest rates are why speculation was rampant in the past.

If you haven’t noticed the whole market got a 10 year rally because the FED poured insane amount of money into economy

TSLA got far more than a proportional share of that.

Can you expand on that? I'm genuinely curious about the stats.

Yeah but would it ever become a hot stock it is without so much dumb money slushing around?

The Fed had been giving corporate handouts via rock-bottom interest rates since 2008. Your reasoning is backwards.
