Tesla, $TSLA, is now the 12th largest public company in the world. Since the April 2024 low, Tesla stock is now up over 80% and has added $350 BILLION in market cap. The stock is also now just 1.5% away from being UP year-to-date after falling nearly 40% in the first 4 months. If $TSLA hits ~$257 per share, it will be one of the top 10 largest public companies in the world. Just 2 months ago, Tesla briefly fell off the top 20 list as worries over the EV market arose.

Tesla Inc. investors voted for Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s compensation package and moving the company’s state of incorporation to Texas, signaling confidence in his leadership despite slumping sales and a precipitous drop in the stock price. The electric-car maker announced the results at its annual meeting Thursday in Austin without disclosing the breakdown of votes. Musk had foreshadowed the outcome the night before in a post on X, saying both resolutions were “passing by wide margins.” The pay vote is only advisory and doesn’t guarantee Musk will get his money. A Delaware judge nullified Musk’s 2018 compensation plan in January, and Tesla is expected to appeal. If that appeal fails, moving the company’s legal home to Texas would allow the board to revive the pay package in a new state with potentially more favorable courts. Source: Bloomberg
