Elon Musk: Tesla’s profit growth over the next four years will also be very high
On October 30, Elon Musk replied on the X platform to a post about the expected net profit growth of several technology companies over the next four years, saying that Tesla’s would also be very high.
The original post was published by Jon Erlichman and listed the expected net profit growth over the next four years, including the current fiscal year, based on analysts’ forecasts, with SpaceX at +7,923%, Marvell at +508%, AMD at +501%, Arm at +335%, Palantir at +334%, Broadcom at +306%, and so on. Musk’s reply did not provide specific figures or further explanation, and only said that Tesla’s corresponding growth would also be very high.
This statement is Musk’s personal comment on Tesla’s future profit growth and is not the company’s official guidance.

ABAB AI Insight
Elon Musk’s brief reply placed Tesla among the companies in Jon Erlichman’s list of high expected profit growth. The data in the original post came from Bloomberg analysts’ average expectations, with SpaceX ranked first at +7,923%, and most of the others being semiconductor- and cloud-computing-related companies. Musk did not give Tesla a specific growth figure, nor did he explain the calculation basis or whether the time frame matched the original post.
Tesla’s current revenue still mainly comes from vehicle sales and its energy business, while Musk has previously said publicly that products such as the Optimus humanoid robot and Cybercab will make up most of the company’s future value. This comment did not directly mention those products, but responded to profit growth. The statement is a personal expectation and does not amount to the company’s published financial guidance or an adjustment to analyst consensus.
The observation point is whether Tesla’s subsequent earnings reports or management guidance provide quantitative expectations for future profit growth, and how the market reacts to progress in the related robotics and autonomous driving businesses.
ABAB News · Law of cognition
A brief response to a list of analyst expectations does not amount to confirmation of a specific growth figure for the company itself.
A personal comment on future profit growth must be distinguished from the company’s disclosed financial guidance.
The ranking in a list of high expected growth rates does not by itself guarantee any single company’s actual future performance.
