Jim Cramer Makes Bold Statement About Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk

We recently published 16 Stocks Jim Cramer Mentioned In An Episode Where He Said OpenAI Could Beat All Big Tech Giants. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)  is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

Cramer discussed Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) ahead of its EV event yesterday that saw it launch new versions of the Model 3 and Y, which were priced below $40,000. He commented on Musk’s relationship with the US government and President Trump:

“[On upcoming event] I still think it’s been underrated how much that company changed when he broke free of the President. Or when he split with the President. Now I don’t want to be political about it, but there were a lot of people who were saying, listen, we got the expiration credit and there’s a lot of people who just said, okay, he’s not, I’m not making a statement that I’m buying a Trump card. Remember the country’s split in half.

“[On his comments on TSLA in his book commenting on Musk’s political involvement comes at a price and he couldn’t recommend the name as highly as he would otherwise] I can and I do say I never bought it because I felt he was erratic, ill-tempered, a person who, whose judgement could be in question. And I think that anyone who saw him in Washington would tend to agree with me. You saw someone who was frantic, someone who I think did many, ill-considered, took many ill-considered actions and then he got out of there and he attacked the President in a way the President has not been attacked. The President actually showed, graciousness.”
