Price action in Tesla stock futures remains sensitive to interest rate movements, as bond yields slipped, boosting growth-stock sentiment. The futures curve is slightly upward sloping, signaling market expectations for sustained gains. Musk is the richest person in the world, with a net worth of $488.1 billion as of Oct. 3, 2025, meaning that he could rather easily afford to spend $1 billion of his own personal wealth to purchase additional shares of Tesla stock — which is exactly what he did in September 2025. Shares of electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell 3.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported record third-quarter deliveries that beat expectations, but investors grew concerned about future demand. Tesla stock futures held steady, supported by stronger-than-estimated China sales. Futures liquidity has improved, with tighter spreads allowing for smoother large-lot trading, attracting high-frequency and algorithmic strategies.
