About this email

With Tesla shares down nearly 70% for the year, Musk tells employees not to be bothered by the stock market and asks them to volunteer to help deliver cars in the last days of 2022.

Notes

Also reported by CNBC and Reuters, which quoted additional lines (e.g. his belief that Tesla will long-term be the most valuable company on Earth); only the two passages below were retrieved verbatim in this session, and their order in the email is not certain.
