Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 81

Jim Cramer has been bearish on Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) since the start of the year as he famously excluded Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) from his list of favorite Mag. 7 stocks. After Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) posted fourth quarter results that missed estimates on both EPS and revenue, Jim Cramer tweeted:

“We could look the other way and just decide this Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) quarter was an anomaly. Or we could just say “and then there were six.” But to ignore what is happening to Tesla Inc’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock or to avert your ears from last night’s call seems too glib right now.”
