Musk Asserts, "Tesla Is Always on My Attention" in Response to Twitter Distraction Concerns

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), stated on Thursday, "Tesla is always on my mind" in an effort to assuage investor concerns that he may be distracted by a Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) transaction that has weighed on the company's stock price.


Tweeting a picture of a woman (Tesla) concerned by her boyfriend's (Elon's) interest in another woman, he stated, "This may appear to be the case, but it is not."


"To be clear, I am devoting approximately 5 percent of my time to the Twitter acquisition. It requires no rocket science! "He sent a tweet.


"Yesterday, Giga Texas existed; today, Starbase does. Tesla is constantly on my mind."


Musk's rocket business SpaceX has a launch site near Boca Chica, Texas, known as Starbase. This year, Tesla established a new factory in Texas.


Tesla shares have lost one-third of their value since the billionaire disclosed his Twitter position in early April and sold $8.5 billion worth of Tesla shares to help finance his $44-billion Twitter transaction.


China's lockdown restrictions, which hampered Tesla's manufacturing, and Tesla's exclusion from a widely regarded S&P sustainability index weighed further on the stock market.


Tesla bull Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reduced Tesla's share price estimate on Thursday owing to the China production setback and warned of "distraction risks" from Musk's Twitter agreement.


Major Tesla investor Leo KoGuan demanded on Thursday that the electric car manufacturer repurchase shares.


"Tesla must announce immediately and buy back $5 billion of Tesla shares from its free cash flow this year and $10 billion from its free cash flow next year, without affecting its existing $18 billion cash reserves with ZERO debt," KoGuan said in a Twitter message to Martin Viecha, Tesla's head of investor relations.


Viecha was unavailable for quick comment.


KoGuan, the third largest individual stakeholder in Tesla, stated last year that he was investing billions in the company because he believed in Musk's "great objective, which I share." In March, he stated that he was purchasing further Tesla shares and not selling during the stock's decline.
