Investor Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC has criticized Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and its bullish supporters, noting that the stock has failed to demonstrate growth over the last 5 years amid the autonomous driving race.
Tesla Stock Has Done Nothing
In a post on the social media platform X on Thursday, the investor slammed the stock and Tesla’s bullish supporters. “$TSLA stock has done nothing for 5 years (TSLA +81% vs NDX +94%) despite huge advances in TSLA’s unsupervised autonomy technology,” the investor shared.
“TSLA forward 2026-2028 earnings ests have come down sharply,” Black said, adding that the new affordable Cybertruck AWD trim was cannibalizing into the mid-level trim’s sales.
“The bulls’ advice to ignore the numbers is hilarious,” the investor said, because stock prices are driven by “earnings & cash flows.” He then said that asking people to ignore the numbers would be like “telling @elonmusk to ignore the laws of physics.”

Tesla also recently unveiled a production-ready version of the Cybercab from the company’s Texas Gigafactory. Musk has assured that the vehicle would feature no steering wheel and no pedals.
