Tesla: Musk Or Bust - I'm In With Call Options — Negative

TSLA   Seeking Alpha — October 28, 2025

Tesla, Inc.'s $1T CEO compensation plan, if approved, removes a major "Elon Musk might leave" overhang. I believe the CEO is what sustains Tesla's premium and, if cleared, a relief rally is likely. If the plan fails, Elon could leave Tesla. In that scenario, I see TSLA stock rerating toward auto peers, with a 90% downside at 35x next-year P/E. Fundamentals aren't the bull driver. Energy storage grew 44% YOY but took $200M of $400M Q3 tariff headwinds. Auto revenue was up just 5.9% YoY, with market share declining.
