> in case of Tesla a lot of this expectation of future profits and growth was based on charisma of its owner
Not even a little bit. Musk has a charisma of a bag of potatoes.
What matters is that Tesla had 10 years of 50%+ revenue and unit growth, on average. They performed better than any of the FAANG companies.
With Giga Berlin and Giga Texas ramping up, Cybertruck, refreshing Model 3 for lower cost of production, ramping 4680 battery production, lithium refinery in Texas, Inflation Reduction Act in US => the 50% growth the company is guiding for in the next several years seems to be in the bank.
What charisma is depends on the person. It is defined as ability to induce devotion in others and different people will get moved by different things.
Charisma is not an absolute and objective measure. Some people will find Trump charismatic to them, some people will see him completely opposite.
I personally find Warren Buffett very charismatic, some people will probably see him as an old and wrinkled guy who is boring them with stories they don't care about.
As investors are generally mostly interested in money, ability to get shit done and generate profits reliably IS charisma.
