Tesla Stock Surges 40% Post-Q1 Earnings Amid Musk Compensation Talks
Tesla (TSLA) shares have rallied 40% since the company’s Q1 earnings report, marking a dramatic turnaround from its early 2025 slump. The stock is now poised for a fourth consecutive weekly gain, climbing 21% in the past five trading days alone.
Once the laggard of the Magnificent 7, Tesla faced significant brand challenges as consumer sentiment turned against the company during Elon Musk’s tenure in the TRUMP administration. The current rebound validates earlier predictions of a recovery.
Fueling the recent surge, Tesla’s board is reportedly considering a new compensation package for CEO Elon Musk. The Financial Times revealed discussions about a potential pay deal, echoing Musk’s 2018 incentive package that included 300 million performance-based options.
