While talking with the Tesla employees, they are still optimistic about the future of the company, arguing that the long-pull position is strong and that product market demand will remain high despite the current stock price. However, fears of declining sales, increasing competition, and Elon Musk’s political activities have created a bearish environment for investors, but things look different for Tesla workers. A report cited several Tesla employees as confident, with one saying, “It feels like we are in a storm right now, but I personally have a lot of confidence in the company.” Of the surveyed ten employees, only one has sold their Tesla stock, while the other nine still own the stock and believe it will perform well in the long run. In the past, stock compensation has been an important incentive for Tesla employees, and in the past, Musk has said that some factory workers became millionaires due to stock price appreciation. Despite the recent drops, Tesla stock is still up 30% year over year and has increased more than 800% in the last five years. Some colleagues advised not to worry about the price movements in the short term and said, “You’re going to drive yourself crazy if you focus too much on it”. In spite of the protests concerning Musk’s link with Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the employees are not at all concerned. A Tesla manager shrugged off the concerns, saying, “Elon has always been in this controversial space, but if the product is good enough, people will buy it anyway”. A worker in Nevada also said that the internal atmosphere of Tesla is still high, which is inconsistent with the concerns on the external environment. Investors may worry about market trends, but Tesla employees have not wavered in their optimism with regard to the company’s future.
