If you want to say who the most recent top stream is, Musk is the first of the well-deserved "Internet celebrities".
The reason is that everyone who surfs the Internet also knows it, because Musk recently had a "small move" - the acquisition of Twitter.
If the saying goes, "rich and powerful", the rich people speak hard, a whole Twitter (market value of $44 billion) is also said to buy and buy, following the successful acquisition of Twitter, Musk threatened on the Internet "Next I will buy Coca-Cola, and then add XXX (some kind of addictive substance) back in." And as soon as this tweet was posted, it didn't take long to be a hot topic in the United States of Twitter, which was really a well-deserved "top stream".
You know, Musk has 80 million followers on Twitter, and surfing the Internet and tweeting "mouth hi" is one of his daily routines. I didn't expect that the life of the world's richest man was also so simple and unpretentious, doing nothing, surfing at home, how many workers' ultimate dreams. However, although Musk often "mouths" on the Internet, but given that the acquisition of Twitter has become an established fact, it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will "buy Coca-Cola" joke into practice, and the biggest difference between us and Musk is that he said to buy Twitter, we laughed, he laughed and bought Twitter, we are stupid.
Behind the "crazy Musk", what supports him to "do whatever he wants" is Tesla's more "crazy" soaring profits. According to the first quarter of 2022 financial report, Tesla's total revenue reached $18.756 billion, an increase of 81% month-on-month, of which the revenue of the automobile business reached $16.86 billion, an increase of 87% month-on-month, and Tesla's net profit also reached a high of $3.318 billion, a sharp increase of nearly 7 times from the previous quarter. As a result, Musk successfully triggered the unlocking conditions for the 9th-11th batch of incentives in the 12 batches of option awards in Tesla's 2018 compensation plan, thus receiving a total of $23 billion in remuneration.
Not only that, but what is more exaggerated is that Tesla's sales volume rises with its price, the more expensive the price, the more people buy, and the sales volume goes against the trend, which is breathtaking. Tesla's global average inventory cycle has even been shortened to 3 days, which means that after each Tesla new car arrives at the store, it is picked up by users within 3 days, and there is no inventory backlog problem that traditional car companies are worried about.
Previously, the Shanghai epidemic caused Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory to stop production, so that it lost a month's production volume, and it seems that it will not have much impact on Tesla's total production capacity. Because on April 19, the Shanghai Gigafactory has announced the resumption of production, and it is expected to return to the level of production before the suspension of production in mid-May, while Tesla's two super factories in Berlin and Texas have also started operations in March and April. As a result, Tesla has a total of 4 super factories in Shanghai, Fremont, Berlin and Texas around the world, and the delivery volume and operating profit targets in 2022 are obviously not to worry.
After making so much money, it's no wonder Musk wants to "shallow consumption". However, Musk is having fun, and Tesla's shareholders are not in such a good mood. On April 26, Tesla's market value shrank by $126 billion, because on the one hand, investors suspect that Musk may need to sell Tesla shares to raise funds to acquire Twitter, on the other hand, investors also feel that Musk is a bit "not doing business", after the acquisition of Twitter, Musk's energy into Tesla will inevitably be dispersed, which is bound to affect Tesla's future development.
Human sorrow and joy are not the same, and shareholders only feel that Musk is noisy.
But what does that matter? Musk doesn't care.
