It is very obvious from the recent statements that Elon Musk is finding it difficult to run Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX.
Elon Musk stated, ‘Last 3 months were extremely tough, as had to save Twitter from bankruptcy, while fulfilling essential Tesla & SpaceX duties. Wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.’
Peter Schiff Expressed: “Congratulations Elon Musk, for prevailing against the frivolous lawsuit filed against you. It should have been obvious to the sophisticated, high net-worth, experienced investors who sued that buying $TSLA was high risk. They have no one to blame for their losses but themselves.”
Looking back, there have been several unhappy shareholders who have been accusing the Tesla Chief Executive Officer of misleading the investors by stating that he is considering taking the electric car maker private at $420 per Share.
Further before boarding his private jet on Aug. 7, 2018, Musk tweeted that he had the financing to take Tesla private, even though it turned out he hadn’t gotten an iron-clad commitment for a deal that would have cost $20 billion to $70 billion to pull off. A few hours later, Musk sent another tweet indicating that the deal was imminent.
This left the jury deciding if Musk is being reckless with his tweets. Further, have acted in a way that hurt Tesla Shareholders.
Tesla investors represented in a class-action lawsuit against Musk.
Nicholas Porritt, was an attorney who represented aggrieved Tesla investors, said he was disappointed after urging the jurors in his closing arguments to rebuke Musk for reckless behaviour that threatened to create “anarchy.”
According to filings to the US regulator, Elon Musk Tesla Lost $140m on Bitcoin in 2022. Way back then, Elon Musk stated that Bitcoin will be accepted as a payment. However, things have changed now and Elon Musk sold most of his Bitcoin Holdings.
Being a high-profile personality Elon Musk’s actions drove significant investor risks. When way back in March 2021 , Musk tweeted that Tesla will permit customers to make their car purchases using Bitcoin, people in the US secured orders with an equivalent of a $100 deposit in Bitcoin.
Now, the price crashed, and things are not good for TSLA in terms of Bitcoin investment. And Tesla will be offloading most of its Bitcoin holdings.
Twitter bankruptcy trials and hearings, offloading bitcoin and it is all pain for investors who look to influencers to make their investment decisions. Criticisms are mounting. Looks like ups and downs are common for the most intelligent brains.
