Tesla Stock Surges Above $1 Trillion After Trump Election Win

Tesla’s market value surged beyond $1 trillion following the election of Donald Trump, backed by high-profile endorsements and financial support from CEO Elon Musk. Tesla stock climbed 8.2%, reaching $321.22, adding over $230 billion in market cap in the past week alone. Industry experts suggest that Trump’s administration may fast-track regulatory approvals for Tesla’s autonomous driving technology and relax enforcement of current driver-assistance rules. Tesla, however, continues to face scrutiny from the NHTSA regarding Full Self-Driving (FSD) software incidents, including fatal crashes. Wall Street expects a Trump administration to favor deregulation, benefiting Tesla and other innovative ventures.

President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, with aid to Gaza likely topping the agenda amid expectations of a policy shift under President-elect Trump.
