Tesla should take advantage of its stock’s post-election surge to raise capital by selling shares, a Jefferies analyst says.

The company’s CEO has been appointed to a new government role by President-elect Donald Trump, but there are more factors at play for the EV maker.

In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump may have granted Tesla CEO Elon Musk a significant financial opportunity. This development could have far-reaching implications for Tesla’s stock and its shareholders.

Peltz also said that he thinks James Gorman will "get a respectable CEO" at Disney, and that one will be named next year.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Elon Musk to a role aimed at creating a more efficient government, handing even more influence to the world's richest man who donated millions of dollars to helping Trump get elected.

The world's wealthiest man is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and he has several other roles across his many companies.

Elon Musk has been tapped to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after years of hyping up cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
