Elon Musk Wants to Steer Tesla Towards Higher Profits
According to Elon Musk, the time for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) to focus on profits has arrived. In a recently written email that was obtained by the EV news website, Electrek, Musk warned the company's employees that if Tesla's bottom-line doesn't reflect significant growth -- meeting the market's expectations -- investors will likely pump the brakes and send the stock plummeting.
In the email, Musk states:
When looking at our actual profitability, it is very low at around 1% for the past year. Investors are giving us a lot of credit for future profits, but if, at any point, they conclude that's not going to happen, our stock will immediately get crushed like a soufflé under a sledgehammer!
