The stock price is not reported by Tesla man - it is what people are buying it at. Real numbers, not speculation. There was a case many years ago when tesla stock was at $400++. People would like to cash out. There was an immediate annoucement to deny selling of Tesla shares believing it was a purposeful short action. Imagine your position as a general trader. You intended to sell because you need the money to buy food, not playing short game or such. The deny was posting detrimental impact to the general public who knew Tesla shares would rise. They bought in at initial price offering. Should they able to sell, lock down would be a breeze of walk for them. But it was not. But on the other hand, imagine the initial price offered was at $1. Tendative selling price was $401. The gain if One purchased a) 100 shares = $40, 000 b) 1000 shares = $400,000 c) 10,000 shares = $ 4 million And if 100,000 people purchased 10,000 shares, the total payout from tesla would be $4 million x 100,000 people =$ 400 billion? Alasss...... The revenue was only $ 25 b and cash = $2.7 b. Someone might need to take a look quickly on how to salvage the condition, in order to be fair to those who trusted him, before his salary is paid in tesla shares.
