Elon Musk sought to reassure Tesla Inc. employees that despite “rocky
moments,” they should “hang onto” their stock, in an unannounced all-hands
meeting Thursday in Austin, Texas, which the billionaire chief executive
streamed live on his social media network X.
“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon,” he told employees during
the meeting, which lasted past 10 p.m. local time. “I can’t walk past a TV
without seeing a Tesla on fire. I understand if you don’t want to buy our
product, but you don’t have to burn it down.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating a number of
incidents where Tesla charging stations and dealerships have been damaged,
including fires in Las Vegas, Kansas City and Missouri.
The vandalism follows a growing backlash against Musk’s role in the Trump
administration, with sales down and the automaker’s showrooms and
supercharging stations at the center of protests.
Meanwhile, shares in Tesla have plunged more than 40% this year, giving up
gains from a stock surge that followed President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Tesla sales are typically slow in the first quarter, but sales and shipments
have dropped precipitously in key markets including Europe and China as Musk
faces political pushback. Tesla paused production on the Model Y line earlier
in the year to prepare for a refreshed version of its most popular vehicle.
The company is also expected to launch new, more affordable EVs in the first
half of 2025, but has given little detail.
Trump was even moved to pledge to buy his own Tesla, bringing a parade of the
EVs to the South Lawn of the White House. On Thursday, Commerce Secretary
Howard Lutnick went on Fox News and urged viewers to buy shares in Musk’s
carmaker. “It’ll never be this cheap again,” Lutnick said, in an
appearance that prompted questions over whether Lutnick violated federal
conflict of interest rules.
“There are times when there are rocky moments, a little bit of stormy
weather but I’m here to tell you the future is bright and exciting,” Musk
said during the all-hands meeting.
Musk, who has been increasingly betting Tesla’s future on robotics and
autonomy, said the company aims to scale production of its future autonomous,
pedal less, and steering wheel-less Cybercab to “new heights.”
Dan Ives, a Wedbush Securities analyst and longtime Musk proponent, said the
meeting was a “first step for Musk to show he is going to lead Tesla through
this tumultuous period.”
Ives this week issued a rare rebuke to Musk, urging the billionaire to pull
back from the Trump administration and refocus on Tesla. He warned that the
brand damage has escalated into a “tornado crisis moment for Musk and Tesla.
”
Musk during the all-hands also mentioned an updated timeline for the humanoid
Optimus robot, saying it would be available outside of internal use as early
as the second half of 2026, with the first sales going to Tesla employees.
The company previously had said Tesla aimed to have the robots available to
other companies next year, and internally this year.
When asked by an employee about whether he would get into aviation, Musk said
it’s something he’s considered. “I’ve thought about aircraft designs for
a long time,” he said, musing on the creation of an eVTOL, an electric
vertical take-off and landing. “Maybe we’ll do that.”
馬斯克在德州奧斯汀舉行的特斯拉全員會議中，試圖安撫員工情緒，儘管特斯拉股價今年
已下跌超過 40%，他仍鼓勵大家「堅持持有股票」，並強調公司未來依然「光明且令人興
奮」。
他指出媒體過度渲染特斯拉負面新聞，如起火事件，並提到近期多起針對特斯拉充電站與
展示中心的縱火與破壞行為，FBI 正在調查相關案件。
這些行為與馬斯克支持川普引發的政治反彈有關，影響特斯拉在歐洲和中國等重要市場的
銷售表現。
此外，特斯拉先前暫停 Model Y 生產線以準備新版本，並預計 2025 年上半年推出更平
價電動車。馬斯克也提到未來無方向盤、無踏板的自駕車「Cybercab」將擴大生產。
對於特斯拉的人形機器人 Optimus，他預測最快 2026 年下半年將向員工銷售，並於之後
推向市場。
Wedbush 分析師 Dan Ives 表示，這場會議是馬斯克試圖帶領特斯拉度過危機的第一步，
但也呼籲他應減少政治介入，專注公司營運。
馬斯克最後也透露曾考慮開發電動垂直起降飛機（eVTOL），可能未來會涉足航空領域。
心得/評論：
不只總統帶貨 部會首長出來報明牌
馬斯克也出來向員工信心喊話
要相信公司有光明前程
會贏喔？！
