Even thou by using leverage you risk in short term to get margin call and lose some of your shares, it is unlikely you will lose more shares than the extra shares you gained thanks to using margin and taking a stock loan. If TSLA succeeds to 10x, also better idea to not sell shares but loan against your stock to invest in new opportunities. If stock doubles again, you did not lose any opportunity, if it corrects, you just get margin called and end up selling some stock anyway, to pay off some margin loan, but likely less and still have the other opportunity you invested in.

See below link spreadsheet to see effects of using leverage on your stock investment, in this case TSLA but change to any other stock price. Copy the sheet if you like to play with the numbers.
