They can’t. The only thing propping up the ludicrous stock price is the myth of “Elon Musk, Super genius” and the legions of Musk fanboys. If they kick Musk out they lose both and the stock will tank. So they’ve got to keep him in place, even as he runs the company into the ground.
Edit - real question. I have doubts his neo nazi/ libertarian followers are buying EVs because they seem to actively want to harm the environment as much as possible.
I’m genuinely curious what the tankie demographic is like. I could see them as off the grid solar/battery doomsday prepper types.
It’s not. He even has defenders on Lemmy. Say that he has no experience as an engineer when it comes to cars and rockets and they come crawling out of the woodwork with quotes from people who worship him saying he’s totally an engineering genius.
Stock value can take a very long time to adjust. Once consumers and institutions buy a stock, they can’t sell it easily. It’s either a loss to sell it if they bought at a peak so they wait it out or if it’s up and they want out, selling needs to be spread out to limit capital gains tax. If it’s an institution with a large holding, it will cause the stock to drop before they’re out.
Mostly agree, but. As far as I understand it, for TSLA the majority of the bull run is due to relatively small investors riding the hype. Big stakes are indeed rare to change hands, and mostly outside the marketplaces. Should the small guys really change their mind on the stocks, they (or at least the first wave) will easily dump it, and that will move the market by a lot.
We can probably see it in YTD results, but still there is no dumping, in my opinion. Just a correction, so far.
Personally would not buy now, though )
For you and most rational people, but there are still enough Muskovites out there buying into the snake oil salesman’s bullshit that Tesla’s market cap remains above Toyota’s. The delusional beliefs of those sad losers is the only thing keeping the stock price afloat and every major Tesla shareholder, most of all Elon himself, knows it.

The myth is gone.
I have a handful of tankie coworkers who absolutely still believe that he’s a genius. They feel that way about other billionaires too.
That’s lovely, but conservatives aren’t the market for solar panels and electric cars.
A Tankie is a Communist who likes Stalin’s method of achieving communism.
That there’s a bootlicker.
Are your tankie friends buying tesla vehicles?

I think you were looking for the word “ancap” instead.

“But he had the brilliant idea to use robots in automotive manufacturing!” /s
Judging by the stock value - not at all. Enough ppl are THAT optimistic.
