Ark Invest's Cathie Wood set a base-case price target of $4,400 for Tesla stock, up from a previous $2,600, alongside a bear case of $3,300 and a bull case of $5,000. With Tesla shares at $375.10 at the time of writing, $100 would buy 0.2666 shares, which the article calculates could be worth $879.78 to $1,233.00 by 2031, a gain of 779.8% to 1,233.0%. Most of the target rests on robotaxis, which Ark estimates will generate 80% of Tesla's future enterprise value and earnings, with the Optimus bot also cited as a key revenue driver. Ark also lays out a case that Tesla could merge with SpaceX within five years, where the combined companies could generate $3.8 trillion in revenue and $2.7 trillion in EBIT by 2031, with SpaceX accounting for 62% of revenue and 69% of EBIT. Tesla is the top holding across three Ark ETFs, at weightings of 10.2%, 7.7% and 11.7%.

- The Tesla Waiting Game: Why TSLA Stock Needs SpaceX, Optimus, and Robotaxis to Break Out
- As Robotaxis Spread, Carmakers Must Choose Between Owning the Customer and Selling the Car
Tesla, Waymo (Alphabet) and Zoox (Amazon) already operate robotaxis in the U.S., while Chinese operators are expanding their fleets. The article divides players into those that own the rider through robotaxis (Tesla, Amazon, Alphabet, Uber) and automakers focused on selling cars with autonomy, such as Ford and GM, which abandoned robotaxi development. Tesla treats robotaxis as its core business, with Musk saying it would make several times more Cybercabs per year than all its other vehicles combined, while GM CEO Mary Barra is targeting personal autonomy. The article says Tesla and BYD are likely winners with caveats: Tesla already holds more than 50% of the U.S. EV market, but failing to develop new EV models could hurt it if Barra is right. Tesla's stock is also priced on the assumption that its robotaxi rollout succeeds.
- SpaceX secures $40B in financing for GPUs as Elon Musk warns of AI cloud industry consolidation
Elon Musk said SpaceX closed $40 billion of mostly callable debt for GPUs due in Q1 and Q2 2027, while Reuters noted it was unclear whether pricing had been agreed. He credited the borrowing to SpaceX's investment-grade status and its Starlink and launch revenue, and SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen expects fourth-quarter capex of $35 billion to $40 billion. Musk said debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for companies without substantial revenue outside AI data centers, predicting that more than 200 neoclouds will face death and consolidation. SpaceX's third-quarter revenue rose 161% from a year earlier to $14.58 billion. Musk called a Tesla-SpaceX merger 'a good idea,' and both companies have formed special committees to explore a deal, though Musk stressed that a merger is not certain.
- Elon Musk Became the First Person Ever Confirmed With a Net Worth Above $1 Trillion in June 2026. Here's Why That Milestone Still Matters for Tesla and SpaceX Shareholders.
After SpaceX went public in June, Elon Musk became the first person with a net worth above $1 trillion. Forbes puts his net worth at $983 billion as of Oct. 21, after a peak of $1.45 trillion and a dip below $700 billion. Most of his wealth comes from about 38% of SpaceX, locked until June 12, 2027, and nearly 11% of Tesla. He holds roughly 85% of SpaceX's voting power through its dual-class structure, while Tesla trades at about 360 times trailing earnings and SpaceX at 68 times trailing sales. Both companies have formed independent director committees to evaluate a potential merger, and Musk's pay packages tie tranches to market caps as high as $8.5 trillion at Tesla and $7.5 trillion at SpaceX.
- Elon Musk Expands Government Spending Footprint Ahead Of Midterm Elections
Elon Musk is tying Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) more closely to Washington while committing about $366 million across at least 40 races in the 2026 midterms, making him the biggest individual donor so far according to CNBC. At least $276 million of that has gone to Republican groups and his America PAC since July. SpaceX has won at least $6.78 billion in federal work so far this year, nearly double its $3.8 billion total for 2024, while Tesla is affected by federal and congressional decisions on EV tax breaks, battery subsidies and autonomous vehicle rules. Tesla delivered over 480,000 vehicles for a second straight quarter and auto margins excluding credits rose from 16.3% to 18.1%, but management said Robotaxi growth may shift to a regulatory issue in Q1 and Q2 and expects about $20 billion in capital spending this year. The article notes that Musk's political influence faded after a 2025 feud with Trump but has since returned, and that November's election could shape the rules Tesla operates under.
- Stocktwits Space Race Weekly: RKLB, VSAT Beat SPCX With Modest Gains — ASTS And PL Sink Deeper
This week RKLB rose 0.8%, VSAT edged up 0.3% and SPCX fell 0.9%, while ASTS dropped 4.7% and PL lost 3.5%. SpaceX reported revenue up 161% to $14.58 billion, net income of $4.4 billion and 13.6 million Starlink subscribers, and Musk said a Tesla merger is up to the special committees of both companies. Rocket Lab outlined new test capacity to support more than 100 launches in backlog, and said Neutron's debut would move into 2027. Viasat said its Maxwell satellite reached orbit and that the work supports NASA awards totaling $81 million, and asked the FCC to reject AST SpaceMobile's overseas spectrum request. AST targeted initial, intermittent coverage before year-end in the United States, Canada, Japan, the UK and Saudi Arabia, and said more than 3,000 U.S. coverage cells were enabled.

Latest news
- Micron Just Delivered a Monster Quarter, but the Stock Is Plummeting. The Reason Is Obvious.
Micron (MU) posted record fiscal fourth-quarter results, with revenue of $54.2 billion, up nearly 380% year over year, and EPS of $32.87, and guided to $61.5 billion in revenue for fiscal Q1 2027. Despite this, the stock has fallen roughly 20% since the report and was about 29% below its all-time high as of Oct. 22. The article attributes the sell-off to concerns about the sustainability of AI capital spending, high valuations and whether the memory industry's unusually high profitability will last, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF has declined 15% since the report. The author views the forward P/E of about 7 as modest and believes investors may have already priced in considerable downside risk.
- YYForce Applauds Tesla and Elon Musk on Commencing Manufacturing of Optimus Humanoid Robots
YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) congratulated Tesla and Elon Musk after Tesla said production of its Optimus humanoid robot has begun in Fremont, California, a phase Tesla describes as early ramp. YYForce plans to deploy its first humanoid robot at Novotel Singapore on Stevens in early November 2026 to evaluate hospitality applications, with the scope depending on technical readiness and initial results. The company stresses that this is a separate initiative: the release announces no partnership or endorsement involving Tesla, and the robot to be deployed is not a Tesla Optimus.
- Elon Musk predicts many neoclouds will experience 'guppy-level death'
SpaceX (SPCX) confirmed it has closed a $40 billion finance lease deal for Nvidia (NVDA) AI chips, backed by Apollo. Elon Musk said debt markets have largely stopped lending to neoclouds that rely on revenue to pay for data centers, and that more than 200 neoclouds will see "guppy-level death" through consolidation, with few surviving. The $40 billion deal has not yet priced; Bloomberg reported its debt could price at around 8%, above earlier expectations, while CoreWeave's debt is trading at about 15%. Chamath, an AI bull, also said it will be a consolidation year for a few. The hosts noted Musk's comments may be self-serving, or aimed at talking prices down so he can pick up more computing capacity.
- Moderna Tumbles 7% as Cancer Vaccine Selloff Deepens; BioNTech Falls 3%, Pfizer Holds Steady
Moderna shares fell 7% to $185.74 in morning trading after its personalized melanoma vaccine, intismeran autogene, given with Keytruda, met its primary goal of reducing the risk of recurrence or death, but its effect on distant metastasis was far smaller than an earlier mid-stage study suggested. Detailed late-stage results were released on October 22 ahead of a conference in Madrid. BioNTech fell 3% to $85.65, Merck fell 0.2% to $145.61 and Pfizer fell 0.2% to $29.96, while the iShares Biotechnology ETF rose 0.2% to $208.21. The article notes Moderna's business relies entirely on mRNA medicines, so the vaccine carries a large share of its pipeline value, and says the next step is whether the full dataset supports a regulatory filing.
- HOOD’s prediction markets to add $1.7B to revenue, exceed crypto by 2028: Bernstein
Bernstein raised its revenue estimates for Robinhood Markets (HOOD) for 2026, 2027 and 2028 by 3%, 4% and 3% respectively, and kept its $160 price target unchanged. The firm expects prediction markets to grow from about $650 million this year to $1.7 billion in 2028, surpassing projected crypto-based revenue of $1.6 billion and accounting for roughly 18% of the projected $9.4 billion in total 2028 revenue. Bernstein expects Q3 revenue to rise 13% quarter over quarter to around $1.5 billion, driven by equity, options and event contract volumes and a recovery in crypto trading. HOOD was set to open lower, with premarket trading at $93.60, and is down more than 29% over the past 12 months.
- One Catalyst Could Completely Change the Tesla Stock Story
The article argues that the unsupervised Robotaxi fleet could decide the Tesla stock story, but its economics have not yet shown up in reported results. The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a price target of $404.84, 8.1% above the $374.58 close on October 22, and rates the stock hold because it sees shares trading near fair value. In Q3, revenue of $28.05 billion and EPS of $0.48 beat estimates, but operating income fell 55.79% as R&D rose to $2.76 billion and battery supply limited deliveries to 486,532 vehicles. Free cash flow dropped 61.63% to $1.53 billion, while management expects about $20 billion in capex this year. Traders put 65.5% odds on a SpaceX merger being announced by the end of 2027.
