In 2003, Jeffrey B. Straubel, Elon Reeve Musk, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla – a company focused on the design, development, manufacturing and sale of fully electric vehicles, energy generation and storage systems. In 2024, the automotive brand reported 140,473 employees and was ranked No. 58 on Forbes‘ Global 2000 list, plus No. 68 on the outlet’s ranking of America’s Best Employers for Tech Workers. While Musk in particular has faced criticism for his leadership style in the past, Tesla’s net worth hasn’t taken the same hit as his other companies, such as Twitter/X; recent estimates claim the South African’s stake in the latter is worth nearly 70% less than what he paid for it two years ago.
As of Oct. 3, the price of a Tesla share is $243.81 according to Forbes. This is down 2.09%, or $5.21 and is a result of the company’s third-quarter deliveries missing expectations. 462,890 EVs were delivered in the three months before Sept. 30, while Wall Street expected a number closer to 463,897. Still, even with this dip, Tesla is still “Up 6.4% quarter over quarter to mark the first quarter of delivery growth this year,” Yahoo! Finance reports. This time last year they delivered 435,059 EVs.
What Is Tesla’s Net Worth In 2024?
