Tesla Shares Jump After Elon Musk Buys $1B in Stock 🚀
-
Tesla’s stock surged 8.7% at its peak on news that CEO Elon Musk purchased over 2.5 million shares (~$1 billion) of his company.
As of 17:50 MSK, Tesla shares were up 5.7% on Nasdaq, trading at $418.6 per share.
On September 12, 2025, Tesla closed at $395.3; at peak on September 15, shares hit $430.3.
This marks Musk’s largest open-market purchase since 2020, when he bought roughly $10 million of Tesla stock.
Analysts suggest the move signals Musk’s confidence in Tesla’s future, following a board-approved nearly $1 trillion compensation plan:
12 tranches of stock tied to ambitious targets, including:
Market cap growth: $2T → $8.5T
20M vehicles sold
1M robots delivered
1M Robotaxi in commercial operation
Takeaway: Musk putting his own money on the line often drives market optimism — and Tesla stock responded immediately.
