Tesla (TSLA) is the brainchild of entrepreneur Elon Musk. The company made waves by challenging the auto industry and producing its own all-electric car.
Tesla shares managed to top the $1,000 level yesterday, gaining as much as 7.5% at the close after founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he had sold “enough stock” to reach his plan to sell 10% of his shares in the world's most valuable car company, according to an interview released on Tuesday. Musk said he sold the shares because he needed to exercise stock options that are expiring next year “no matter what.” His announcement came after weeks of the billionaire selling shares consistently, after he agreed to sell 10% of his stake in the electric vehicle manufacturer that he founded.
According to SEC filings Musk has sold roughly 13.5 million shares since posting a survey on Twitter asking his followers if he should sell 10% of his shares in Tesla. The answer was “yes” and since then Musk has been making multiple weekly sales of shares, as well as exercising millions of options shares. It‘s been reported that Musk would be facing a tax bill of around $15 billion, and that could be at least part of the reason he has taken to selling Tesla shares. Musk has also said he doesn’t take a Tesla salary, and therefore must sell stock in order to pay taxes.
Interestingly, while Musk has sold 13.5 million shares, he‘s added roughly 16.4 million shares over the same time frame through exercising options, thus increasing his stake in Tesla. Tesla shares closed the session at $1,008.87, finally topping the $1,000 level that’s been resistive lately. Shares are also up more than 42% since the start of the year. Over the past three years Tesla has gained over 1,100%. Musk is the world‘s richest individual, with a net worth of nearly $250 billion, but in the interview he stressed that most of his wealth is tied up in stock. “It’s not like Ive got some sort of massive cash balance,” he said. Shares are down from a November high of $1243.49 a share. Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $300 billion, making him the first person on the planet to reach that milestone. It also means the Tesla chief executive is worth tens of billions more than the second-richest person on earth, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos.

Have you experienced issues with Pepperstone deposit & withdrawal processing? From your experience, do you feel that the Australia-based forex broker causes losses to its clients? Did the brokerage entity freeze your account and give you a margin call? All these trading allegations have been rampant on broker review platforms such as WikiFX. This Pepperstone review article takes a close look at the user complaints, especially in 2026. Additionally, we have given an overview of the regulatory framework under which the brokerage entity operates.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.

If you have spent even a week inside trading communities lately, you already know the pitch by heart. Pass a quick "challenge," get handed a funded account worth tens of thousands of dollars, and keep up to 80% of everything you make. No risking your own savings, no slow grind of building capital from scratch — just skill, a small fee, and a fast track to the big leagues. It is the exact dream every new trader is secretly chasing, and an entire industry has sprung up to sell it. XPO Fund is one of the louder voices selling that story right now. Its website is slick, its plans sound generous, and its marketing leans hard on words like "industry's lowest fee" and "fast payouts." But before you reach for your card, there is one number sitting quietly on this firm's profile — a number it would rather you scroll past — that every experienced trader would beg you to look at first. And no, it is not the profit split. Let's pull XPO Fund apart piece by piece: what it actually is, who is real
