Gordon Johnson, an analyst at GLJ Research, challenged the popular &#8220;don&#8217;t bet against Elon Musk&#8221; investment thesis Sunday, pointing out that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares have underperformed the broader market significantly since 2022.
What Happened: Johnson wrote on X that Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined about 19% since 2022, while the S&amp;P 500 has risen by 22% during the same period, responding to a column by Charles Gasparino in the New York Post. &#8220;Those who have bet against him since 2022 have won BIG!&#8221;
Johnson added &#8220;Finance is not supposed to be political/emotional. It&#8217;s supposed to be fact-based!&#8221;
Gasparino&#8217;s column had argued against betting against Musk, comparing it to &#8220;betting against Mike Tyson in his prime&#8221; and noting Tesla&#8217;s stock has risen over 1,000% since 2018 when the company faced production difficulties and potential bankruptcy.

Gordon Johnson Dismisses 'Don't Bet Against Elon Musk' Narrative, Says Tesla Bears Have 'Won Big' Since 2022

On Friday, Tesla Inc&#8217;s Chinese rival Nio Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>)&nbsp;informed investors to expect underwhelming first-quarter results.
What Happened: The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer anticipates delivering up to 43,000 vehicles by March 31, with projected revenue of approximately 12.9 billion yuan ($1.8 billion), according to a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-21/ev-maker-nio-flags-lackluster-first-quarter-pledges-cost-cuts">report</a> by Bloomberg. The market expected deliveries of 65,000 units and 17.8 billion yuan ($2.46 billion) in revenue.
Chief Financial Officer Stanley Qu emphasized the company&#8217;s commitment to enhancing profitability through cost reductions driven by technological advancements.
Despite over a decade in the market, Nio continues to face challenges in achieving full-year profitability, primarily due to high research and development expenses and significant operational costs.

While Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. recently agreed to invest up to 2.5 billion yuan in a battery-swapping network with Nio, consumer acceptance of this recharging method remains uncertain.
Nio has also received funding from strategic investors, including a 3.3 billion yuan ($455.22 million) investment from Hefei government-backed funds and a $2.94 billion capital injection from Abu Dhabi's CYVN Holdings in 2023.
Why It Matters: To boost sales, Nio has introduced new brands, Onvo and Firefly, and is restructuring its operations. The company plans to launch nine new or revamped models this year, aiming to increase its gross margin.
CEO William Li aims for profitability by Q4 2025 and to double sales to around 440,000 vehicles this year.
The warning from Nio comes amid a competitive landscape in the electric vehicle sector. Earlier this month, Nio reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44433594/nio-misses-revenue-estimates-lowers-q1-forecast-amid-stronger-competition-in-ev-market">miss on its fourth-quarter revenue estimates</a>, despite a 15.2% year-over-year increase. The company also reported a larger-than-expected adjusted loss per share, highlighting ongoing financial challenges.
Nio holds a momentum rating of 56.47% and a growth rating of 81.50%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/NIO">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock&#8217;s historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance.

Tesla's Chinese Rival Nio Warns Of Disappointing Q1 Results: Deliveries, Revenue Set To Miss Estimates

At a White House event, President Donald Trump said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.
