Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if Elon Musk explicitly takes any responsibility for Tesla's declining stock prices in a public statement, tweet, interview, or SEC filing before July 1, 2025. To qualify, Musk must clearly state that his actions, decisions, or leadership contributed to Tesla's stock price decline (not just acknowledging challenges facing the company). Resolution will be based on verifiable public statements from Musk's official accounts, Tesla's investor relations page, or credible news sources reporting direct quotes.

Background

Tesla's stock has experienced significant volatility in recent years. Investors have expressed concerns about Musk's divided attention between Tesla and his other ventures, including X (formerly Twitter), SpaceX, and his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Some analysts have suggested that Musk's political activities and controversial public statements may have negatively impacted Tesla's stock performance.

• Update 2025-04-06 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification Details:

  • Only statements in which Elon Musk explicitly accepts personal responsibility for the stock decline will count.

  • Statements that shift blame to external factors or others, even if they imply his leadership played a role, are not sufficient.
