On March 20, Elon Musk called what can be called a all-hands meeting of Tesla. The meeting, which was slated to kick off at 9:30 pm ET started at 9:58 pm ET. Tesla CEO Elon Musk opened the meeting by commending the company’s employees. “Tesla is home to some of the world’s best talent, crafting and building our remarkable products. Your hard work is paying off — great job, everyone.” Musk then highlighted major accomplishments, revealing that Tesla has now rolled out over 7 million vehicles worldwide. He forecasted that the company would hit the 10 million vehicle milestone by next year.
Elon Musk: It feels like Armageddon … and is all very emotional
Elon Musk coyly addressed 51% dive in Tesla stock from its December peak. Musk said that the company is amid “a little bit of stormy weather” and “if you read the news, it feels like Armageddon,” Talking about the widespread protests at Tesla showrooms and vandalism of the vehicles, he said “The news makes it sound like the end of the world,” he quipped, adding, “I can’t pass a TV without spotting a Tesla up in flames.” “Tesla stock goes up and it goes down, but actually it’s still the same company,” said Musk, adding, “I guess it’s just very emotional.”
Elon Musk to shareholders: Hold tight to your shares
Elon Musk also pushed back against skeptics of the Tesla Semi factory, which some had written off as impractical. He noted that sharp-eyed investors like ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood have already latched onto Tesla’s game-changing autonomous tech. “My advice? Hold tight to your shares.” He also acknowledged the hurdles in manufacturing and servicing vehicles, but added that despite occasional bumps in the road, Tesla’s outlook remains “exceptionally promising.”
Talked about Tesla’s wins: Dojo supercomputer, Model Y and Model 3
Musk lauded Tesla’s vast Supercharger network, enabling smooth road trips across the U.S., Europe, China, and Australia. He boasted that Tesla batteries outlast human stamina, saying, “The battery will outlive your need to stretch—plug in during a pit stop, grab a coffee, and hit the road again.”
He also revealed that Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer is gaining steam, with the first-generation system now fully online at Gigafactory New York and Palo Alto. It’s tackling AI training, handling about 5%—and soon up to 10%—of Tesla’s total AI workload. A next-gen version, slated to be “ten times” more powerful, is in the works. “Optimus has evolved from a concept to the most advanced humanoid robot on the planet—no one else comes close,” he said. He attributed its success to Tesla’s mastery of AI, electric motors, batteries, and mass production, paving the way for affordable, large-scale rollout.
