Elon Musk live streamed a surprise ‘all hands’ Tesla meeting tonight.

Tesla news lately includes a leader with a second or maybe seventh job in politics, protests, vandalism, a White House lawn advertisement, record high trade-in numbers, and a Cybertruck recall to fix glued-on trim pieces that can’t stay attached.

So, to beat the allegations that it might be cooked, tonight Musk and Tesla put on a hastily announced “all hands” meeting that was streamed publicly. Business Insider reports employees were only notified of the unusual event shortly before its scheduled start at 9:30PM ET. You can watch it here (Tesla says you should skip to 28 minutes in since it didn’t start on time, or try YouTube), but today’s Decoder episode on Tesla is probably better and shorter.

It’s “a brand tornado crisis moment” for Tesla.

One of Tesla’s usually favorable Wall Street analysts, Dan Ives from Wedbush, published a note pleading with CEO Elon Musk to spend less time at DOGE. “Tesla and Musk are facing a defining chapter in their future and how Musk handles this next few months will be pivotal to the long term growth trajectory of Tesla in our view,” Ives wrote. Another thing Ives says Musk needs to do is prepare lower-cost vehicles for 2025.

The Tesla Takedown movement is rallying against Elon Musk, and it’s only getting bigger.

Have you seen Tesla’s missing $1.4 billion?

The Financial Times compared the electric automaker’s capital expenditure in the last six months of 2024 to its valuation of the assets that money was spent on, and discovered that $1.4 billion has “gone astray.”

Looking at last year, in the third and fourth quarter combined, Tesla spent $6.3bn on “purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales” according to its cashflow statements. Over on the balance sheet, however, the gross value of property, plant and equipment rose by only $4.9bn in that period, to $51bn.

$6.9 billion minus $4.9 billion equals $1.4 billion, or the sum the paper says appears unaccounted for. It’s a bit complicated, but unless Tesla reports the missing money in its next earnings report, it could indicate that something fishy is going on — beyond a stock collapse amid a global protest movement.

$1.4bn is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla
