Crazy Multiples
"I think the problem with this name and it's going to remain so for quite a while now is people are going to start to judge it against the metrics of the auto industry," O'Leary said. "Why should it remain so special at such a crazy multiple in perpetuity when at the end of the day this company makes a car. That's what it is, it is a car and it's going to compete with all the other cars made by all the other manufacturers all around the world."
He continued, "Listen, I love the entrepreneurial spirit of this company. I applaud what they have done in advancing technologies. But at the end of the day, this car takes you from A to B. It's a car. So, why should I pay a crazy multiple for a car that takes [me] from A to B."
'Grown Men Will Weep'
O'Leary highlighted the volatility in Tesla's stock since last year, saying, "The volatility on this name is going to remain as people like you and I debate the merits of paying a crazy price for a stock that I remind you now does not pay any capital back to its shareholders - zero dividend, no cushion. When this thing falls out of favor and all of a sudden it's going to trade at the same P/Es as all of its competitors, grown men will weep."
