Tesla stock hit a record high of $420 on Monday, closing at $422.01.
If you recall, just 16 months ago, Musk sent his infamous "funding secured" tweet, saying that he could take Tesla private at $420 per share. That tweet got Musk into a bit of trouble with the SEC (Shortseller Enrichment Commission), who apparently doesn't like CEOs/stakeholders actively influencing public stock prices.
420 blaze it
Musk, who has had his fair share of run-ins with the devil's lettuce (thanks Joe Rogan), couldn't help himself upon hearing the news. Musk tweeted "Whoa… the stock is so high lol,"... and was presumably retweeted by Adam Neumann. Shortly after, Musk tweeted a photo of Tesla's stock price at $420.69. NICE.
A roller coaster year
On the year, Tesla stock is up more than 27%, which is pretty impressive considering in Q1 the company lost more than $700M. By Q3, the firm had climbed back into the black. See what happens when you steer clear of the SEC Naughty List?
The bottom line…
Tesla isn't in the clear yet. While Musk and Co. are still trying to figure out how it's "bulletproof" Cybertruck windows cracked under the pressure of a live studio audience, it's facing stiffer competition...
Electric truck startup, Rivian, announced on Monday that it had raised another $1.3B in a round led by T. Rowe Price that included Amazon who has already placed an order for 100k of Rivian's delivery vans.
This latest round brings Rivian's total capital raised to $2.85B. It's worth noting that Tesla raised more than $20B to get vehicles on the road.
TSLA's climb continued during a shortened trading session on Tuesday, closing at $425.25.
