📰 Elon Musk Buys $1 Billion Worth of Tesla Shares
According to a September 15, 2025 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased 2.57 million Tesla shares worth approximately $1 billion (around KRW 1.3 trillion).
This purchase was made with Musk’s personal funds and not through exercising stock options, making it a rare move.
CNBC reported that this was Musk’s largest-ever open-market stock purchase.
📈 Tesla Stock Hits 7-Month High
Following the news, Tesla shares surged more than 7% in pre-market trading,
and maintained gains during early trading, closing at $395.94 per share.
This marks Tesla’s highest closing price in about seven months since February 6, when shares closed at $374.32.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the purchase
“a major vote of confidence for Tesla bulls and a sign that Musk is doubling down on Tesla’s AI future.”
💰 Musk’s Compensation Package & Tesla’s Growth Goals
This move comes shortly after Tesla’s board approved a new CEO compensation package.
The plan would grant Musk 423,743,904 shares (roughly 12% of Tesla’s outstanding stock) in 12 tranches by 2035.
For Musk to receive the full package, Tesla’s market cap must grow from roughly $1.3 trillion today to $8.5 trillion.
