Elon Musk Says This Is One of the Biggest Challenges for Public Companies
Both Tesla and SpaceX have achieved considerable growth in recent years, but their stocks carry significant risk and uncertainty.
Overview
Elon Musk has two highly successful publicly traded companies: Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX), better known as SpaceX. They're both valued at well over $1 trillion in market cap and are among the most popular growth investments for retail investors.
But running a public company is by no means easy, as Musk highlighted in a recent interview with The Economist, noting that a big challenge is "the pressure to have great results every single quarter." And that challenge can weigh on a stock's performance and introduce a great deal of volatility along the way, especially when it comes to companies that Musk runs.
