In January 2019, Tesla laid off 7% of their workforce. In April 2019, Tesla reported Q1 deliveries of just 63,000 — down 31% quarter over quarter In July 2019, founder JB Straubel left the company Thank god I bought a ton of shares while others were selling. Up >10x $TSLA
You should have seen the doom and gloom people were projecting. They thought the company was going to die. Few realized it would go on to become one of the largest companies in the world
@WholeMarsBlog Omar, I bought just a few $ above your number here: after doing much research on Elon and Tesla, I knew I would regret it in the future.....if I didn't start investing in @Tesla I could forsee Tesla being the historic "Apple, IBM, Coca-Cola, Microsoft" company of our time.
And Tesla actually laid off an additional 9% of the company 6 months before that in 2018, so they laid off 16% of the company in a span of 6 months. 2018-2019 was peak fear and uncertainty as Tesla was aiming to become one of the most profitable automakers in the world. Now, in 2024-2025, there is an insane amount of fear and uncertainty as Tesla aims to become one of the most profitable software (FSD) and robotics companies in the world. In 2018-2019 most of the FUD came from TSLAQ. Now, most of it is coming from the Tesla community itself.
@WholeMarsBlog I got 99 problems, worrying about TSLA stock price is not one of them..
@WholeMarsBlog Was dumb then, not anymore. Buying, buying, buying.
