Frankly, I do not know. Musk is kind of an enigma too me. He is probably a master persuader and got the right connection. Thus, he can dodge the bullets for a long time. However, there are still sane investors that think TSLA is worth a lot more than today's stock price. Then they value TSLA as a tech company in a monopoly situation (such as Google). I think they forget that TSLA is competing in the world of atoms (not bits).
