In a significant show of confidence, Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased $1 billion worth of company shares this month, a move that has ignited a powerful stock rally.
The purchase of 2.57 million shares on September 12, 2025, has been a key driver behind Tesla’s remarkable 30% surge in September. The stock is now trading around $420 per share, a level that has pushed its year-to-date performance into positive territory. This represents a dramatic turnaround, marking an approximately 80% rebound from the lows hit in April.
The rally is not solely based on Musk’s investment. The electric vehicle giant has been buoyed by strong recent vehicle delivery numbers, particularly in the critical Chinese market. Furthermore, reported advancements in Tesla’s autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technologies have generated considerable investor optimism. This excitement is building towards the anticipated unveiling of the company’s robotaxi.
Musk himself took to his social media platform, X, to highlight the stock’s performance, which further galvanized investor enthusiasm among his vast following.
However, analysts offer a more measured perspective. While many see long-term growth potential for Tesla through 2030, they also caution about significant risks. These include intensifying competition in the global electric vehicle market and potential headwinds from changing regulations.
The stock’s performance, as of the latest data, stands at $418.39, up $69.42 over the past week on the NASDAQ exchange.
