In the latest tweet, Elon Musk claimed that his automobile company Tesla will be the biggest in the world.
Yesterday, Musk tweeted:
“I think there is a >0% chance Tesla could become the biggest company.”
It was not a direct tweet from Elon Musk. He was replying to a follower query who said that electric car giant Tesla could be bigger than Apple. In this tweet, he tagged Tesla CEO.
On Elon tweet, another Twitter user replied:
“I love the direction of that arrow!”
In response to this tweet, Elon tweeted: “Probably within a few months.” It created an uproar in the stock market. Though Musk deleted these tweets many users took the screenshots and the news spread like a fire.
This whole conversation did not go down well in the investor fraternity. As a result, the market share of Tesla started falling. Initially, it went down by 5.6%. Later, there was a surge in Tesla share but still, it closed the day with a 3.4% share decline. In the end, Tesla share closed at $618.71 and its market value saw a total loss of 19 billion to $593.8 billion.
Investors are not happy with such tweets from Elon and market regulators also have a close watch on Tesla activities. Earlier, the company was dragged to court due to labourers pay controversy. Though, the regulators may not take any action related to the current tweeter controversy, Dan Ives, the managing director of equity research for Wedbush Securities, called Musk’s Twitter barrages frustration for investors.
Dan said:
“Elon is Elon, and that’s part of his interaction with his followers and commenting on a range of issues. But when it comes to some of these tweets, it’s like a kid that keeps playing with firecrackers.”
He further added:
“Right now, investors don’t want to see any noise or sideshows from Tesla and Musk. They just want to see results, deliveries and ultimately something that would drive the stock higher.”
