Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), visited Auschwitz and declared himself 'aspirationally Jewish' after lighting a candle in memory of Holocaust victims. His visit was part of an event by the European Jewish Association to combat rising antisemitism. Musk has faced criticism for allowing antisemitic hate speech on Twitter, which he owns, and a study found an increase in antisemitism on the platform after he took over.

Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's senior design executive, praised CEO Elon Musk for his boldness, which allows Tesla to break away from conventional designs and 'bring the future forward.' The Cybertruck, with its unique stainless steel exterior, exemplifies Tesla's innovative approach. Although the Cybertruck has not yet launched in China, a tour showcasing the vehicle is planned. Tesla faces stiff competition in China, especially from BYD, which recently overtook Tesla in EV sales. However, Holzhausen welcomes competition as it drives Tesla to improve.

YouTuber MrBeast tested ad revenue potential on X (formerly Twitter) by reuploading a video, earning over $250,000. The video, originally on YouTube (Alphabet Inc: GOOG, GOOGL), featured a Tesla Model X Plaid (Tesla Inc: TSLA) and a Ferrari (Ferrari NV: RACE). Elon Musk's promotion may have boosted views.
