Following Donald Trump's election, Tesla's stock saw a significant rise due to the links between Trump and Elon Musk.
Election Impact on Tesla
After Trump's election victory, Tesla stock saw its best week in a year, rising 32%. The stock price reached $321.22, pushing the market cap past the $1 trillion mark.
Elon Musk's Wealth Surge
Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, increased his net worth by $52 billion in one week, amassing a $314 billion fortune, second only to Jeff Bezos.
Trump and Musk Connection
The connection between Trump and Musk seems crucial to Tesla's recent rally. Musk supported Trump in the 2024 election, and there have been discussions about Musk potentially joining Trump's administration. This raises potential conflicts of interest given Musk's vast holdings in Tesla and other companies.
As the relationship between Trump and Musk continues to unfold, its impact on the EV market and international trade promises to be significant.
