Key Facts

Shares of Tesla rose 2.2% to around $462.50 as of Tuesday afternoon, following a 4.3% rally on Monday.

President Donald Trump, who earlier this month threatened China with 100% tariffs after Chinese officials unveiled trade restrictions on rare earth minerals, said Monday the U.S. and China would likely “come away with” a trade deal before Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that Trump’s tariff threat was “effectively off the table” after a “very good” meeting with trade officials, sparking a broader market rally as trading opened Monday, which concluded with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 closing at record highs.

Tesla’s annual sales in China, the automaker’s second-largest market behind the U.S., rose 8.8% to a record high of more than 657,000 cars in 2024.

Forbes Valaution

Musk, who holds roughly 12% equity of Tesla, is the richest person in the world with a fortune estimated at $501.7 billion. His net worth rose by $6.6 billion (1.3%) on Tuesday as Tesla shares continued a rally. He became the first person ever to be worth $500 billion earlier this month, and it’s possible he could be the world’s first trillionaire should Tesla shareholders approve Musk’s $1 trillion pay package. Some groups have opposed Musk’s pay package, including Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services, which advised Tesla’s shareholders to vote against the payment plan. In a letter to shareholders on Monday, Tesla chair Robyn Denholm warned investors that Musk could leave Tesla if the pay plan is rejected, claiming, “Without Elon, Tesla could lose significant value, as our company may no longer be valued for what we aim to come.”

Key Background

Tesla reported a record number of vehicle deliveries through its latest quarter, even as sales declined in Europe, yet its latest earnings report fell below Wall Street’s projections. Revenues soared above $28 billion in Tesla’s third quarter, boosted by the sales record, but the automaker reported earnings per share of $0.50, coming below estimates of $0.56. Some analysts attributed the rise in sales to the expiration of a federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, which Musk suggested earlier in the year could disrupt Tesla’s upcoming quarters.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
