Tesla earnings, governance battle drive retail chatter on October 22

On October 22, 2025, Tesla was a top retail-investor topic as earnings reports and a governance fight over Elon Musk's compensation plan dominated conversation on Reddit.

  1. A campaign calling on Tesla shareholders to reject Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay plan launched ahead of the company's annual meeting.

  2. Tesla reported Q3 revenue of $28.10 billion, a 12% increase year-over-year, but earnings of 50 cents per share missed analyst estimates.

  3. Retail investors on r/stocks and r/wallstreetbets generated more than 5,000 combined comments tied to TSLA.

TSLA
$TSLA commanded the attention of retail investors as two major narratives collided: a quarterly earnings report and a shareholder campaign to block what would be the largest CEO pay package in history.

In r/stocks, a post detailing the "Take Back Tesla" campaign drew 4,117 upvotes and 345 comments. The coalition, which includes the American Federation of Teachers and Public Citizen, launched a website urging shareholders to vote against a proposed pay package for Elon Musk valued at nearly $1 trillion. The campaign argues that Musk's political activities have damaged the Tesla brand and distracted him from company leadership. The post framed the issue as a governance matter ahead of Tesla's annual meeting next month.

At the same time,

$TSLA released its third-quarter earnings report. A separate r/stocks post highlighted that revenue reached $28.10 billion, beating analyst expectations of $26.37 billion but representing a 12% increase after two consecutive quarters of decline. However, adjusted earnings per share of 50 cents missed the 54-cent consensus estimate. The post generated 454 upvotes and 331 comments, as investors parsed the mixed results.

Across Reddit, r/wallstreetbets saw 46 posts related to TSLA, accumulating 2,858 upvotes and 2,014 comments with an average sentiment of 0.58. On r/stocks, 44 posts about Tesla earned 9,546 upvotes and 3,068 comments, with sentiment averaging 0.53. The combination of earnings and a high-stakes governance debate drove unusually deep engagement: TSLA ended the day with more than 640 comments across posts, ranking sixth overall in ticker discussion volume.

Sentiment: 46% bullish, 29% bearish, 25% neutral.

Retail investors on r/stocks focused heavily on the pay-plan controversy, with many commenters debating whether Musk's split attention — from Tesla to X, xAI, and other ventures — warranted the proposed compensation. The earnings discussion centered on whether revenue growth could offset the earnings miss, especially as Tesla navigates a competitive EV market.
