Shares of Tesla hit an all-time high Wednesday. The company’s share price rose 5.9% to around $425.
Tesla shares, which have gained more than 70% since the beginning of this year, have been on the rise after Donald Trump was re-elected as the 47th president of the US.
Tesla shares had risen more than 67% since Trump’s victory.
US President-elect Trump’s announcement that Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy would lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) also had an impact on the direction of Tesla shares.
In addition, SpaceX’s value rose to $350 billion with a new $1.25 billion share purchase agreement, making it the world’s most valuable private venture.
