Driven by a surge in its stock price, Tesla's (TSLA, Financials) market value peaked at $1.5 trillion, an all-time high. This milestone has driven CEO Elon Musk's net worth to $486 billion, therefore confirming his ranking as the wealthiest person on Earth.
With reference to Tesla's developments in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives set his price objective for the firm at $515. He described a "bull case" scenario with $650 that may raise Tesla's value to $2.1 trillion. Some experts, however, advised caution and advised investors to think about purchasing Tesla shares during pullbacks given worries about its present value.
