The Spin

Narrative A

With uncertainty already swooning around Tesla while shareholders wait to see how much stock Musk will sell to complete his Twitter purchase, an undisclosed criminal investigation is going to cause more doubts. Criminal charges against "Autopilot" will be bad enough for the company, but civil lawsuits could follow. Musk’s positive public pronouncements might turn out to be worthless.

Narrative B

Tesla is in fine shape and it’s only going to keep getting better, with the potential to be one of the most valuable companies in the world. Demand is limitless, and governments are creating incentives that will help the company sell every car it manufactures. If Tesla can have so much success while the global economy is lagging, there are only bright skies ahead.
