Tesla vs WeWork. A Decade of Leadership Difference

It takes 10 years to make an overnight success or in this case, failure.

Founders are parents of companies. They make them who they are.

In May 2019, Tesla and WeWork were both valued in the vicinity of $50 billion and now, Tesla is worth $800 billion with a 1500% stock surge and WeWork is valued at $2.9 billion possibly not because of its assets, but its brand power.

What happened? Tesla disrupted the automotive industry from its roots and WeWork disrupted the office space industry.

How could Tesla end up being 250 times more valuable than the office space giant in only 18 months?

I still can’t forget the first time I saw Tesla on the news. It was love at first sight and the rest is history. I had no clue about their almost 10-year suffering, the almost fatal crisis in 2008, or how the NASA contract for SpaceX contract saved the company.

Then, I read the biography of Elon Musk twice, consumed 10 minutes of content a day just out of pure curiosity as a Tesla dose for 8 years, and rented different types of Teslas wherever I travel. My peak moment was when I rented a Model S and slept in the car at the top of Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii. It was fun to sleep in a Tesla for 3 nights.

Nikola Tesla would be proud

And when it comes to WeWork, my experience as a customer and business enthusiast was equally deep. I moved to New York in 2014 and within the first month, I clicked on WeWork’s Facebook ad and I was a WeWork labs member the next day paying only $500 a month working from their Soho building. Then, I continued to be a member for 5 years.

These rather close experiences as a customer with an engineering and business background made me observe and then, analyze what really happened in a decade.

Launching Model 3 had the same effect for EVs as Model T launched by Ford a century ago
