According to Sawyer Merritt, Elon Musk currently holds about 304 million exercisable Tesla stock options from his 2018 compensation package with a $23.34 strike price, now valued at approximately $139.2 billion before taxes based on today's TSLA closing price. The Delaware Supreme Court's recent decision to restore Musk's compensation package eliminates over $100 billion in potential accounting charges for Tesla, strengthening its financial position (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter). As Tesla continues investing heavily in artificial intelligence for autonomous driving, robotics, and energy solutions, this financial stability enables ongoing R&D and expansion in AI-driven business opportunities. The ruling also ensures Musk retains a significant ownership stake, aligning incentives for further AI innovation and market leadership within the electric vehicle and AI sectors.

According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla's cash on hand has surged by $4.9 billion to a record $41.6 billion, positioning the company with unprecedented financial resources for accelerating AI-driven innovation in autonomous vehicles and robotics (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This significant increase in liquidity is expected to fuel Tesla's investments in AI research, deep learning infrastructure, and the scaling of its Dojo supercomputer platform, potentially enabling faster deployment of AI-powered features like Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Optimus robot applications. The milestone may also strengthen Tesla's ability to attract top AI talent and expand partnerships, reinforcing its leadership in the AI and mobility sectors.
