TESL is trading at $14.80, up 5.71%, with Tesla-SpaceX merger discussions the clearest company-linked catalyst.
- Both boards formed committees, but terms remain preliminary and no deal is assured.
- The move also aligns with positive growth-stock sentiment following strong technology-sector results and gains in major U.S. indices on October 21.
- Tesla’s earnings were scheduled after the close, but available evidence does not establish them as the cause of this after-hours move.
