On Wednesday, Elon Musk is reported to investors and reporters on quarterly revenues Tesla. Apparently, the CEO of the company learning from its past mistakes and is doing everything possible so that they do not recur. In the second quarter of 2017 Tesla lost $ 717 million is a lot of money. But it has large reserves of about 2.2 billion dollars, so the need to borrow money from her. According to Mask, the company’s goal is to generate a profit until the end of 2018.
And although financial statements are not so much people, Tesla’s shares soared 12 percent after the dialogue. What is the reason? Most likely, the Musk.
As the Mask communicates with investors?
At last address Mask refused to answer the “dry” and “boring” questions — such behavior from the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company, you are unlikely to expect.
Since then, he became even more Jumpy, even called the British cave diver involved in the rescue of children from a cave in Thailand, “pedophile”. Historically, he made big promises that could not perform. Investors don’t like that.
New Elon Musk has become more sociable with investors
On Wednesday, when Musk was on the phone with investors, it was quite different.
First, he apologized for what was “rude” during a previous call. Second, he managed not to make any bold statements during the entire conversation. He even returned to one of their predictions and informed the Wall Street Journal reporter Tim Higgins that, most likely, Tesla will produce 750,000 cars in the year 2020, not 1 million.
If the rise of Tesla stock may be an indicator that investors like the new calm, balanced approach and collected Mask. Remains the question whether the “new” Elon to hold out long enough for Tesla to become profitable. In the end, investors could find another CEO.
