“ ‘P.T. Musk’ ”

That’s the nickname CNBC’s “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer, who some might describe as a bit of a carnival barker in his own right, recently bestowed upon Tesla TSLA, -10.34% chief executive Elon Musk.

“I just keep finding it’s a three-ring circus with the guy. It’s kind of annoying but he’s exciting,” Cramer said. “He’s P.T. Barnum. Barnum did pack the seats.”
