Tesla's Market Valuation: Tesla Inc. has reached a market capitalization of over $1.58 trillion, significantly ahead of competitors like Toyota and BYD, with its stock value increasing by over $850 billion since April 2025.
Elon Musk's Compensation: The rise in Tesla's valuation strengthens the likelihood of CEO Elon Musk receiving a newly approved trillion-dollar pay package, which is tied to the company's performance and milestones.
Sales Decline and Market Share: Despite a 23% decline in U.S. sales in November, Tesla maintains a dominant market share of over 55%, partly due to reduced all-electric efforts from traditional automakers.
SpaceX Developments: SpaceX is preparing for an IPO next year, with a potential valuation of $1.5 trillion, and is expanding its Starlink satellite internet service while exploring new technologies for AI and orbital data centers.
