Elon Musk shared some stock market advice during the Tesla All-Hands keynote for Q1 2025.

During the Q&A portion of Tesla’s All-Hands keynote recently, someone from the audience asked Elon Musk for stock advice. Musk’s initial reaction was to point out that the question proved these Q&A sessions were not rehearsed and these inquiries were truly random.

After his light-hearted comment, Musk dived into the question, using Tesla as an example.

“I think that it’s going to sound very very straightforward, but you want to really buy stock in companies where you think the product of that company will be better in the future…Or do you love the products that that company makes and are they going to keep doing that?” Musk replied.

He went on to say that Tesla has a track record of making great products and will keep producing many more good products in the future. Earlier this year, Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja teased several new product introductions this year.

“We’re going to scale up production. And I think we’ve demonstrated a level of innovation that is extremely rare. I mean certainly by far the most innovative company in the car industry…

“I do think Tesla stock long term with Optimus and (Full) Self-Driving–Tesla will probably be the most valuable company in the world,” Musk reiterated.

Musk added that there are other companies with great products and services. He pointed out that stocks are based on people’s perception of the future, saying: “Tesla stock goes up and goes down, but actually it’s still the same company.”

Tesla’s stock price has been dropping in recent weeks. Some believe the decline in TSLA’s price is due to public anger against Elon Musk and increased Tesla vandalism cases. Wall Street, on the other hand, seems to be more concerned with Tesla’s Q1 2025 performance.

A few analysts have lowered their Tesla price target, forecasting a drop in first-quarter deliveries. Only a handful of TSLA analysts have cited the public’s opinion of Elon Musk as the reason for their reduced price target and bleak predictions.

Elon Musk: Tesla Model Y is world’s best-selling car for 3rd year in a row

The Model Y has now established an impressive streak that would otherwise have been impossible before Tesla.

Elon Musk has announced that the Tesla Model Y has become the world’s best-selling car by volume for the third consecutive year, capping 2025 with another dominant performance. 

The Model Y has now established an impressive streak that would otherwise have been impossible before Tesla. 

Three years in a row

Musk posted on X: “Tesla Model Y is now officially the world’s best-selling car for the third year in a row!” The CEO’s comment echoed an update that Tesla included in its 2025 recap, which highlighted, among other things, the Model Y’s incredible streak. 

The Model Y has held the title since 2023, outperforming traditional leaders like the Toyota RAV4 and Corolla thanks to its bang-for-the-buck nature and its stellar combination of practicality, performance, and tech. The Model Y is also lauded as one of the safest vehicles on the road, making it an ideal choice for families in key markets such as China. 

An impressive 2025

The Model Y’s sales feat in 2025 is especially impressive considering the introduction of the vehicle’s new variant. Tesla’s changeover to the new Model Y across its global factories resulted in sales being paused for some time in the first quarter. As per Tesla’s Q1 2025 vehicle delivery and production report, “the changeover of Model Y lines across all four of our factories led to the loss of several weeks of production in Q1.”

This suggests that the Model Y’s sales remained strong in 2025 to the point where it could still claim the title of the world’s best-selling vehicle by volume, even with its sales being throttled during the first quarter of the year. It would then be interesting to see just how far the Model Y can go in 2026, especially considering the rollout of new variants like the six-seat extended wheelbase Model Y L, the affordable Model Y Standard, and the top-tier Model Y Performance.
