Professor Aswath Damodaran shares his views on Tesla as a company and an investment
—
Excerpt from RT.com -- "Here's where we have to separate the company from the investment. I like Tesla as a company. It think it's a company that's disrupting a business that needs to be disrupted. The automobile business is an awful business. It's badly managed, badly run across the board. So I think Tesla is disrupting the right business. I even like Elon Musk. I mean, I think he's a little over the top. But he's exactly the kind of CEO that a company like that needs: a PR machine, which is everything he does creates publicity. But Tesla, it has been, in a sense, been selling investors in what I call 'the big story,' which is 'we're going to be a big company. We're going to succeed.'"
