A vacation of several weeks when you’re a chief? Most certainly. Investors need to know.
> Investors need to know. Really? That's nonsense. This sentiment is a great example of what's so toxic about the public markets now. Everyone is complaining that so much value creation is happening in private companies going public later - a big reason is because of this idea that investors should care about when one person at a 36,000 person company goes on vacation and that this should move the stock price. Ridicu…
Maybe if you had hundreds of thousands invested in TSLA and were concerned about their downward spiral you’d think different.
This timing seems about right to me. Most of the wrinkles appear to be out of the Model 3 production now. Designing the Model Y is about to start. Right now would be the right time to take some well deserved R&R.

Yeah but isn't that something that could be handled between the company and investors, not on a public news site?
There's no such thing for a public company. It either talks to the board, which represents investors, or to the public, since it is impossible to know who owns shares of a public company.
And in practice, given index funds, most people do.

Btw - I don't believe he is "on vacation". It's something else, but probably doesn't matter in the end.
Just like anything Trump seems to become a news article, so does anything Tesla. I can't even read the news without rolling my eyes and thinking WTF? An article about Trump or Elon Musk/Tesla even if it's completely uncalled for or factually incorrect seems to become "news". Journalistic quality has definitely gone downhill in the last decade or two.
The news media covered the "furor" over Obama's tan suit. They're damn well going to cover any real scandal involving Trump. It's their job.
If this news doesn't interest you then don't read it.

Sure, but a 6-week sabbatical in a company struggling to keep up with planned production goals is largely unheard of.

Which is a tragedy - people occasionally need to take breaks to be more productive.
Not saying we don't deserve that sort of time off, but it seems somewhat excessive given the circumstances.
