The world’s richest man just got a whole lot richer after Tesla CEO Elon Musk enjoyed a historic rally in Tesla shares, fueled by the electric vehicle company’s latest earnings report.

KEY FACTS

Tesla’s stock price jumped about 22% in trading on Thursday, its biggest daily gain since May 9, 2013.
It came as investors reacted positively to a big third-quarter earnings growth, the biggest cash generation in eight quarters, and several encouraging details shared by Musk on the accompanying conference call with analysts.
The earnings report “reminds us that growing the auto business profitably remains a high priority for Tesla,” Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote, alluding to earlier concerns about Tesla’s shrinking profit margins as it emphasizes self-driving car initiatives.

FORBES ASSESSMENT

The rally added $26.4 billion to the fortune of Tesla’s largest shareholder Musk, whose lead as the richest person alive grew to more than $55 billion. Musk owns 269.8 billion dollars, and the second in the ranking – Larry Ellison has a fortune of 212.2 billion dollars.

Bitcoin Surges 23% In A Week As Investor Optimism Returns

by News Editor

August 21, 2026

Bitcoin was on track for a weekly gain of around 23% on Friday as a series of positive macroeconomic and policy developments boosted investor sentiment.

The cryptocurrency was trading about 6% higher at roughly $77,000, up from around $62,800 at the start of the week. Crypto-related stocks also rallied, with Coinbase and Circle gaining more than 9%, while Strategy rose 7%.

Macro Factors Fuel Rally

Bitcoin’s latest surge began Wednesday after Treasury yields fell sharply following a major intervention by the U.S. Treasury in the bond market. Lower yields eased pressure on risk assets and helped trigger a broader move into cryptocurrencies.

The rally was further amplified by a major short squeeze. Around $2.7 billion in crypto short positions were liquidated, according to CoinGlass.

Max Stuedlein, head of Partnerships at Sygnum APAC, said the move reflected an alignment of macroeconomic and policy catalysts, including the Treasury’s decision to increase buybacks of longer-dated government debt.

Clarity Act Boosts Sentiment

Investor confidence improved further on Thursday as the White House and crypto industry leaders made a final push to advance the Clarity Act in the coming weeks.

The legislation is widely viewed as a potential catalyst for the crypto market, although its chances of passing remain relatively limited.

Despite the rally, bitcoin remains well below its 2026 high of $94,820 reached in January and its all-time high of $126,198, set last October.

Analysts See More Volatility Ahead

Lucy Gazmararian, founder and managing partner at Token Bay Capital, said the crypto market may be approaching the end of its bear cycle.

She expects bitcoin could experience one more decline of around 20% before the market turns, pointing to historical cycles and the recent liquidation of heavily leveraged short positions.

Gazmararian also described bitcoin as a long-term hedge against monetary debasement, while warning that its short-term price remains highly volatile and driven by market cycles.
