Jim Cramer’s Game Plan: Top 14 Stocks to Watch

9. Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 99

Cramer highlighted that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been called an “AI ETF” and suggested owning the stock.

“Alright, then there’s Tesla. Now I think Elon Musk, get this, I think he could sell tickets to this conference call. He could command a thousand dollars, easy. The last time Tesla reported, missed numbers badly and then it proceeded to have one of the biggest runs ever. Just soared right when it reported that number, and I’ve gotta tell you, I figured it out. Actually, Morgan Stanley’s, Adam Jonas figured it out for me. He calls Tesla, after that quarter, an AI ETF. People want an IETF so they buy the stock no matter what, especially if it’s down the next day. I want you to own Tesla. Just own it.”

After the election results came out in 2024, Cramer argued in favor of investing in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), a leading company in the electric vehicle and energy sector, stock, emphasizing that the appeal lies not in President-elect Donald Trump’s potential easing of U.S. self-driving regulations, but in the leadership of CEO Elon Musk. He commented:

“While I don’t buy the national self-driving mandate, I think nothing truly dulls the case for owning Tesla. The Musk premium will work its magic in other ways, perhaps favorable municipalities and Tesla rentals next to federal highways.”
