Elon Musk believes Tesla could be 10 times more valuable by focusing on autonomous driving

From Nasdaq: 2025-02-04 07:30:00

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a history of making grand promises, some of which he eventually fulfills. In a recent earnings call, Musk claimed Tesla could become the world’s most valuable company, surpassing the top five combined. His vision hinges on autonomous driving and a robotaxi marketplace unlocking massive value for Tesla.

While Musk’s forecast lacks detailed math, he envisions autonomous vehicles being used more frequently in a ride-sharing network, generating substantial revenue. If Tesla could achieve $160 billion in gross bookings with an 80% margin, it could see significant profits. However, reaching a $15 trillion valuation would require a high price-to-earnings ratio.

Investors should approach Musk’s projections with caution and focus on Tesla’s fundamentals and progress in autonomous driving. While Tesla’s autonomy goals hold promise, achieving a valuation higher than the top five companies combined seems unlikely. Consider potential risks and developments in autonomous technology before investing in Tesla.
