Tesla, the top stock by trading value on Tuesday, rose 2.82% with $42.279 billion traded. A September 15 SEC filing shows CEO Elon Musk bought over 2.5 million Tesla shares for about $1 billion on September 12.  

 

Previously, Tesla’s board proposed a new compensation plan for Musk, potentially worth nearly $1 trillion, granting up to 423.7 million restricted shares, about 12% of adjusted shares, in 12 tranches. One operational goal to unlock this is delivering 1 million humanoid robots.  

 

Nvidia, second in trading value, fell 1.64% with $23.963 billion traded. On September 15, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation announced further investigation into Nvidia for violating anti-monopoly laws and a 2020 decision on its Mellanox acquisition.

Reports indicate Oracle is part of a consortium aiming to keep TikTok operational in the U.S. under a potential framework. The deal structure remains unclear, possibly involving multiple companies, with ByteDance’s future role uncertain.
