Supreme Court Rejects Elon Musk's Bid To Overturn SEC Decision: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Elon Musk's appeal against a 2018 SEC settlement, which involved a $20 million fine for Musk and Tesla over misleading tweets about privatizing Tesla. The court's decision upholds the settlement, including the pre-approval mandate for Musk's social media posts. Despite the legal setback, Tesla's stock has seen significant gains, and investors can also gain exposure through ETFs like VCR and TSLT.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the SEC settlement against Elon Musk may have a neutral to slightly negative short-term impact on Tesla's stock, as it maintains the status quo but also removes uncertainty regarding Musk's legal challenge.
While the decision maintains the pre-approval mandate for Musk's tweets, it also ends a period of legal uncertainty, which could be viewed neutrally by the market. The stock's recent performance suggests that investors may have already priced in this outcome.

The T-Rex 2x Long Tesla Daily Target ETF, directly tied to Tesla's stock performance, may experience increased volatility in the short term due to the Supreme Court's decision, but the overall impact is likely to align with Tesla's stock trajectory.
As TSLT aims to double the daily performance of Tesla's stock, any news affecting Tesla directly impacts TSLT. The Supreme Court's decision may cause short-term volatility, but the ETF's performance will ultimately mirror Tesla's, which has been positive.

POSITIVE IMPACT
The Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF, which includes Tesla as part of its holdings, may see a minor positive impact due to Tesla's continued strong performance and the resolution of legal uncertainties surrounding Musk.
Given Tesla's significant role in the consumer discretionary sector and its over 17% gain in the past 12 months, VCR may experience a positive impact as Tesla's legal uncertainties with the SEC are resolved, potentially boosting investor confidence in Tesla's future.
