Tesla’s Record CFO Pay and Market Challenges Unveiled

Tesla ( (TSLA) ) has been popular among investors this week. Here is a recap of the key news on this stock.

Tesla has recently made headlines with a record-breaking $139 million pay package awarded to its CFO, Vaibhav Taneja, surpassing previous records for CFO compensation. This comes amid a period of volatility for Tesla, as the company faces challenges such as declining electric vehicle deliveries and increased competition from rivals like Xiaomi in China. Despite these hurdles, Tesla’s stock has seen a consensus Hold rating from analysts, with a mixed outlook on its future performance.

In addition to financial news, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk is under scrutiny as his compensation remains unresolved due to legal issues. Meanwhile, Musk’s AI company, xAI, is expanding its chatbot, Grok, within the U.S. government, raising privacy concerns. On a more positive note, Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives has raised Tesla’s price target to $500, citing Musk’s renewed focus on Tesla and its future in AI-driven technologies. However, Tesla’s market position is being challenged, particularly in Europe, where Chinese EV maker BYD has overtaken Tesla in sales for the first time.
