Tesla’s Elon Musk mocks analysts during conference call

Tesla retail investor Gali Russell, who was invited onto the company's earnings call, discusses how CEO Elon Musk cut off questions asked by analysts.

[@Bachelor_Gabe]

This guy who she said broaden your portfolio is on his way to becoming a millionaire. If he kept his money in there, he's sitting pretty around 400K. If he continues to hold, I bet he becomes a millionaire.

Or does he have 800K since it has been split? That's wild.

He’s an engineer. He runs several huge companies. Answering boring questions from these two boring people would get old. FAST. Musk is busy solving problems. A concept these two should study more. Keep in mind he has no obligation to answer any reporter he doesn’t want to answer. Since when has Fox gone to TMZ levels of desperate?

[@RK-bj8ho]

If it's so boring, he would leave the dirty work to the CFO .......

[@CelloTuning]

ok he's so tired of being surrounded by morrons, no time for them.

[@newperve]

How is it moronic to ask how much money the company will need in the future? Really what would Elon have to do to convince you he's a conman? Insulting people who have legitimate questions that a real business would be able to answer.

[@RumoredAtmos]

[@brianjones9487]

Elon is a bright man, but he just gave the bears like Jim Chanos ammo to keep hitting his capital. The less capital he has access to the less ability Solar City and Tesla have to become more successful. I love Elon, but this was a stupid move.

[@ashb001]

And ego-centric.

[@AdventofNIKKI]

Brian Jones prob just trying to buy back his shares at a lower price.

[@earthwizz]

Brian Jones Musk has stated on several occasions he has no need to raise capital. His impatience with and dismissal of these bonehead analysts tends to confirm that. It's highly possible the only thing that will change Chanos' mind is when his short position goes totally tits up, but he's made a surprisingly good impression on that other Tesla bear, Jim Cramer. The longs seem to be onside too.

[@Convexhull210]

I don't blame Elons reaction, the analyst was rude as hell.

So Elon didn't want to deal with a few reporters, big F'n deal.

[@shinanma6623]

Total Bullion they are not reporters but analysts, who basically help investors to understand Tesla’s financial status, which in turn brings investment to Elon’s cash-burning operations.

[@CodeLeeCarter]

Elon was correct, the first guy was Blowing his own trumpet and Elon shoved a freaking Cork in it,... as for this other guy, his questions were dry, besides, most analysts are jerks, to be honest, Nice move, Elon. I thought it was spot on of Elon and wouldn't have expected anything else in that situation.

[@Kimchi203010]

Alien yea asking about financial strength and expenses is a bonehead question when you own stocks.

[@9BoStOnGeOrGe]

because you are a fucking moron and don't understand the importance of the capital markets. Especially for a bonehead company that doesn't make any money and can't live up to anything

"these usless Analysts" help fund your and my heros company he decided that a the moment he went public.

[@tprogressasap8798]

LOL, so much dumbness in so few words............stock analysts are worthless, look............ if a stock analyst could make a good analysis of the stock he would know if the stock goes up or down and position himselve accordingly. But because his analysis is SHIT he cant make profits through speculation and instead tells everyone what to buy and sell instead of doing it himselve. YOU ARE WELCOME.

[@joelluder8549]

Dumb words indeed but not from me. I did not say the Analyst was good but if you are going to deny that when an analyst of gold man sachs or whatever gives the instruction within the company to sell Tesla, I dont have to tell you what others within the company have to do and I say HAVE TO because they are obliged by the law to do so. If he asks stupid questions or if he actually does anything the brings any value to the company and trust me i'm looking forward to the day analysist are going to be replaced by computers but they have a certain power if you like it or not is irrelevant. There is no Formula to tell if a stock is going up or down but there are formulas like black scholes etc that are an internal guideline. You are welcome

[@tprogressasap8798]

more dumb shit.............yes i trust you, random dude from the internet............ if the analysts were good, they would manage money instead of making recommendations, goldman knows that AS WELL. GOLDMAN DOES NOT DO WHAT THEIR ANALYSTS SAY THEY DO WHAT THEIR FUND MANGERS DO AND GOLDMAN DOES NOT TELL US IN ADVANCE WHAT THEIR FUND MANAGERS DO. The black and scholes model for option pricing is crap and has no relevance, option prices are determinde through supply and demand. MAN JOEL, TODAY YOU LEARNED A LOT.

[@kedaruss]

Nope.

[@zachk9178]

"Do you think he gets a pass" she asks. Um... why would he need one? The analysts and the customer aren't always right. He can dismiss questions if he wants to. So yes, constitutionally he gets as many passes as he wants. Socially he should get a pass because he shouldn't have to answer these non-valuable questions. We shouldn't have made it socially acceptable to kiss the investors' butts in the first place. If you want honesty, demand honesty, don't make it socially unacceptable to not kiss the ass of investors.

[@newperve]

He can dismiss questions if he likes and we can decide that means he's a conman whose company is a disaster. People give Elon a pass for behaviour that would see them run from any other company. Imagine if General Motors' CEO refused to tell analysts how much capital they would have to raise. Nobody sane would tolerate it. But Elon doesn't have to worry because sane people stopped investing in this company years ago.

Galileo is a 25 year old that makes a living off youtube (that too a small youtube channel), and he doesn't exactly have the cash to invest in many other companies. Also just an FYI, he makes PLENTY of other videos on many other companies and does deep dive analysis of potential moonshot/high growth strategies for them. Although he is financially biased to Tesla his content and certainly his intellect is not narrowed to one company. Hope this gives you more colour on how to view his opinions.
