Tesla Stock Soars 17%, Boosting Elon Musk’s Net Worth by $20 Billion
Tesla stock experienced an impressive surge of nearly 17% today, marking one of the company's best days in recent years. This rally came on the heels of Tesla’s third-quarter earnings report, which exceeded Wall Street expectations. With Tesla’s improved cash generation and Musk's optimistic projections for future vehicle delivery growth, investor confidence soared, sending the stock price skyrocketing. Elon Musk, the company’s CEO and largest shareholder, saw his fortune swell by an additional $20.4 billion, cementing his position as the world's richest person by a significant margin.

Tesla’s positive third-quarter performance highlighted a shift in momentum for the company, which had seen a decline in vehicle deliveries earlier this year. Musk indicated during the earnings call that Tesla expects a 30% growth in vehicle deliveries by 2025, a promising forecast that helped reverse concerns about a 2% decline in deliveries through the first nine months of 2024. Investors responded favorably to these projections, pushing Tesla’s market capitalization up by $110 billion in just a few hours.
Despite the excitement surrounding Tesla's earnings and stock rally, the reaction wasn’t without its critics. Analyst Toni Sacconaghi from Bernstein voiced skepticism, referring to the earnings call as more of a “pep rally” than a serious financial discussion. Nevertheless, the overall sentiment was overwhelmingly positive, with this surge marking Tesla’s best single-day stock gain since March 2021.
This massive stock rally not only boosted Tesla’s value but also turned its year-to-date performance from a 14% loss to a 1% gain, making it a pivotal moment for both the company and its shareholders. For Musk, this surge not only solidified his position as the wealthiest individual but also added to his growing influence in the political and financial landscape.
