TradingKey - Elon Musk's bold claim that Tesla's stock could increase tenfold has sparked widespread skepticism, but the company's performance over the past five years supports his prediction!
On Sunday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to financial commentator Jon Erlichman's bullish remarks about Tesla, stating in a post, "It (Tesla) will require outstanding execution, but I believe Tesla's stock is more likely to surge 1,000% in five years."

On February 1, Erlichman predicted significant profit growth for several U.S. tech giants over the next five years, including Tesla at 258%, Nvidia at 193%, Amazon at 137%, Netflix at 128%, Microsoft at 107%, Alphabet at 76%, and Apple at 45%.
While Musk claimed that Tesla could grow tenfold, he did not provide specific reasons or drivers, leading to widespread skepticism in the comments section. However, is Musk's prediction truly impossible? Can future profit growth drive such a stock surge? Looking at Tesla's stock performance over the past five years, achieving this goal may not be out of reach.
Over the past five years, Tesla's stock price has skyrocketed by over 1,500%, rising from a low of $29 to a peak of $488. However, since hitting an all-time high on December 17 last year, Tesla's stock has experienced a continuous decline and correction, but it still maintains a gain of more than fivefold.
