The value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months.
Hedgefund short sellers have made $16.2bn betting against Tesla’s shares as the value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months. Traders positioned to make money from falls in the share price have accumulated the paper profits since the stock’s closing high on December 17, according to data provider S3 Partners. Tesla’s market value has plunged by more than $700bn over the same period, wiping more than $100bn from Musk’s net worth. The Tesla chief executive’s public interventions in European politics including support for far-right parties have contributed to falling car sales across Europe, while the swingeing cuts he is making to federal government spending as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency have also sparked a backlash.

Musk takes advantage of new accounting rule to book for tesla a $600 million profit on bitcoin
Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) appeared to take advantage of a new accounting rule allowing for holdings of digital assets to be marked-to-market each quarter. The company's fourth quarter earnings report shows its 9,720 bitcoin valued at $1.076 billion as of the end of 2024. That's up from what had been $184 million for several quarters prior. Alongside that change, Tesla also recorded a GAAP income boost of $600 million on its digital holdings. For perspective, the company had overall GAAP income of $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter. A new rule from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requires corporate holders of digital assets to begin marking those assets to market each quarter, no later than the first quarter of 2025. Companies could take advantage of the new rule prior to that at their own discretion, which Tesla has appeared to do. Prior to this new rule, corporate holders of digital assets were required to report those holdings at what was their lowest valuation during the time of ownership. Tesla overall reported adjusted EPS of $0.73 in the fourth quarter, missing estimates for $0.76. The gain on its bitcoin holdings was for GAAP purposes and would have had no effect on adjusted EPS. Shares are higher by 3.5% in after hours trading. Source: Coindesk
