Chapter 1: Who is Scott Becker and what is the focus of this episode?
Chapter 2: Why are Elon Musk and Donald Trump considered resilient leaders?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion is never bet against Elon Musk. So one of the things we've learned over the last several years is that whether you love or hate Elon Musk or President Donald Trump, these are two of the most resilient sons of guns you're ever going to meet. Sons of guns is in place of SOPs or MFs.
Chapter 3: What challenges did Tesla face earlier this year?
Chapter 4: How has Tesla's stock performance changed throughout the year?
Chapter 5: What does Tesla's comeback say about persistence and leadership?
I don't care what you think of them. But this ability to be resilient and fight back is nothing short of remarkable. So here's the story on Tesla. Tesla was down so far this year early on that people were ready to resign it to the dustbin of history in terms of leading automakers or companies and so forth. It must have been down about 50% or more. Now it's down year to date about 21%.
More so over the last month, it's up 26%. Over the last year, it's up 90%. Its comeback, its return to glory has been nothing short of remarkable. And whether you hate or like President Trump, whether you hate or like Elon Musk, these people are resilient people. And again, you don't have to be a fan, but all of us wish we had that thick a skin and could be that resilient of people and of leaders.
Simply amazing to watch. The most resilient MFs in history, Elon Musk, President Trump, Tesla rebounds greatly. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast.
