Tesla Stock Loses $40 Billion In Market Value After Elon Musk Says Hertz Contract Hasn’t Been Signed

Topline

Shares of Tesla started reversing a recent rally Tuesday morning after Chief Executive Elon Musk suggested a massive deal with bankrupt car-rental company Hertz, which helped push Tesla into a rarefied group of firms worth more than $1 trillion, has yet to be finalized—seemingly contradicting an announcement last week that helped the company add more than $300 billion in market value.

Key Facts

Tesla stock fell as much as 4% Tuesday morning after closing at a record high $1,208 on Monday, putting the company on track to lose $42 billion in market value and ending a week of straight gains.

The dip started after Musk, 50, tweeted overnight he’d “like to emphasize… no contract has been signed” with Hertz yet, responding to a user touting—and praising Musk for—Tesla’s recent stock gains.

“Hertz deal has zero effect on our economics,” Musk added, without mentioning shares of Tesla have skyrocketed nearly 33% since Hertz announced an order of 100,000 vehicles by the end of 2022 as part of a bid to electrify its fleet of rental cars, representing the carmaker’s largest order ever, according to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.

Tesla and Hertz did not immediately respond to Forbes‘ request for comment.

Key Background

Tesla’s Hertz-fueled surge has helped make it more valuable than social media giant Facebook and even propelled the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, which both count the carmaker among its largest constituents, to new highs over the past week. In the United States, only Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google-parent Alphabet are worth more than Tesla, which still commands nearly $1.2 trillion in market value. Hertz’s order would represent about 20% of the nearly 500,000 vehicles Tesla sold last year. 

Surprising Fact

Despite falling Tuesday, Tesla shares are still up about 60% this year, compared to 25% for the S&P. 

Big Number

$315 billion. That’s how much Musk was worth after Tesla’s record high on Monday, making him not only the richest person in the world—but also the richest person Forbes has ever tracked. Before Tuesday, Musk’s fortune had grown by about $85 billion since the Hertz deal was announced.
