Trump Win 'Biggest Positive' For Elon Musk's Tesla, Tech Bull Says It Could Boost EV Giant's Stock By This Much

Tech bull and prominent analyst Dan Ives is optimistic about the impact of a potential Donald Trump win on the Tesla Inc. TSLA stock, as the former president stands three electoral votes away from securing the presidency.

What Happened: Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, suggests Tesla could see substantial gains under a potential Trump administration, despite broader challenges for the electric vehicle industry.

“The biggest positive from a Trump win would be for Tesla/Musk,” Ives wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We believe a Trump win is a negative for the EV industry as the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla a huge positive for scale/price advantage.”

Ives projects a potential $40-$50 boost to Tesla’s stock price under a Trump presidency, citing the company’s established market position and manufacturing scale. Based on the current Tesla stock price, this presents an upside of nearly 16% to 20%.

The biggest positive from a Trump win would be for Tesla/Musk. We believe a Trump win is a negative for the EV industry as the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla a huge positive for scale/price advantage. A Trump win could add $40-$50 to Tesla's stock 🔥🏆🐂

Additionally, he expects significant artificial intelligence initiatives that would benefit Microsoft Corp. MSFT, Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc.‘s GOOGL GOOG Google, and Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR.

Trump is currently leading key battleground states, according to the Associated Press.

We would expect significant AI initiatives from the Beltway within the US that would be a benefit for Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and other tech players. Under Trump we would expect major AI initiatives that would also be a major tailwind from AI players like Palantir. 🔥🏆🐂🍿

Additionally, yields on U.S. sovereign debt rose as investors digested the preliminary results from the closely contested fight between Trump and Kamala Harris.
