A Comedy of Market Errors
In a world where Tesla shares plummeting to below $10 is as likely as Elon Musk taking a vow of silence, let’s explore what kind of financial apocalypse would need to occur for such a catastrophic stock implosion.
1. The Laws of Gravity (And Stock Prices)
Tesla (TSLA) shares are currently trading above $260. Dropping to $10 would mean a 96% loss. That’s not just a dip—that’s Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff after running out of road. If this happens, we’d expect:
- Musk launching a new company called “Xtreme Bankruptcy.”
- Tesla’s Cybertrucks being repurposed as armored getaway vehicles.
- A new Twitter poll from Musk asking, “Should I buy back Tesla for $11?”
2. What Could Cause Tesla to Crash Like a Self-Driving Car in Beta Mode?
For Tesla shares to fall to single digits, the following must happen:
- All Teslas start self-driving… into lakes.
- Musk trades all Tesla factories for Dodgy Scams.
- The entire market agrees that gasoline-powered cars are “the future.”
- A secret recall reveals that all Teslas run on AA batteries.
3. Wall Street Analysts React
Experts predict a Tesla share price range from $120 to $550 in 2025, which is still, surprisingly, not even close to $10. Even the most pessimistic analyst would probably say, “I’d expect my coffee to cost $10 before Tesla stock does.”
If Tesla did hit $10, investors wouldn’t just sell their stock; they’d frame it and hang it in the Museum of Financial Disasters, right next to Enron and the dot-com bubble.
4. The Elon Factor
Let’s be honest—Musk couldn’t let Tesla drop to $10 even if he tried. He’d tweet one word—“Ludicrous”—and the stock would instantly rebound to $500. Or he’d simply announce Tesla’s next product: a self-driving spaceship made entirely out of recycled Cybertrucks.
Conclusion
Will Tesla stock end the year under $10? Only if the laws of finance, physics, and common sense collapse at the same time. But if it ever happens, expect the world’s biggest financial meltdown, a Musk-fueled meme frenzy, and possibly a new AI-powered Tesla that sells stocks before they hit rock bottom.
Until then, keep your money on Tesla—because unlike its stock, Musk’s Twitter account will never go below $10 in entertainment value.
