Tesla's stocks have been in a hurry since Donald Trump was elected president, but Elon Musk's private companies have seen their ratings soar.
Secondary market investors have increased the collective valuation of mask four private companies by 45% since the November 5 election, according to an analysis by Trading Platform Caplight. Quote by Bloomberg News.
Caplight's Research compiles secondary transaction data and other market metrics including buyer interest to estimate daily stock prices for Musk's Ventures: SpaceX, Neuralink Corp., The Boring Company, and Xai.
According to Caplight's findings, artificial intelligence startup Xai is the biggest driver of these profits, with its share price rising 110% since November 5th.
Recent talks between Xai and potential investors suggest a $75 billion valuation for the company.
However, Caplight estimates that Xai, which promotes the flagship chatbot “Grok” as comparable to Openai's ChatGPT and China-based Deepseek, was trading in the secondary market at a valuation of $96 billion as of Tuesday.

last year, Reuters reported that some Neuralink staff are there Following the first human trial, the results of the evaluation jump were being prepared to sell the brain implant company stock.
These ratings reflect the enthusiasm of investors and the company's progress in developing brain-computer interface technology.
The trading platform, called the “Elon Musk Crossover Index,” provides investors with access to these four mask-driven companies alongside Tesla.
According to Caplight CEO Javier Avalos, Caplight omitted Musk's social media platform X from the analysis as it is described as a “very limited” secondary market activity.
Secondary transactions allow investors to purchase private companies' investments, often through early employees and venture backers who sell stocks.
As a company backed by large ventures such as SpaceX, the method is becoming increasingly popular in Silicon Valley, slowing its release.
As secondary investors typically have little access to private company financial data, these stock estimates reflect investors' sentiment more than their actual business performance.
However, within Musk's portfolio, SpaceX continues to attract buyers who are willing to pay a premium over the company's latest public offering price, Avalos noted.
Another secondary trading platform, Augment, reported a similar trend. As of March 12th, Augment users noticed that SpaceX and Xai stocks have more than doubled since the election.
Not all musk ventures have seen a surge in value. His boring company, his tunnel drilling company has dropped its secondary market valuation by 7.8% since the election.
Despite secondary market dynamics, Musk maintains strong investor interest in X.
The platform faces challenges such as advertisers pullbacks and financial instability, but is highlighted by important writedowns from Fidelity Investments – X was exploring new funds at a $44 billion valuation – The same amount that Musk paid to the company when it was known as Twitter in 2022.
After Donald Trump's election victory, Tesla stocks surged initially as investors expected close ties with Musk's administration to benefit the automaker.
However, the production setback and the public's role in masks' role as head of government efficiency (DOGE) at the Cost Reduction Agency, led to a reversal of Tesla's post-election profits.
On December 17th, Tesla's stock price hit a record high of $480, but has since plummeted nearly 50%. As of Wednesday afternoon, Tesla stock was trading at around $246 per share.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Musk owns 13% of Tesla, and the majority of his wealth is tied to his private company.
As of Wednesday, more than a third of Musk's net worth ($136 billion) comes from SpaceX's holdings.
Musk's wealth swelled to an all-time high of $486 billion in mid-December, but since then it has dropped by a third to more than $370 billion as of Wednesday.
In the private market, Musk is selective about who can invest in his company.
With the growing number of investors, they are gaining exposure through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), allowing them to pool their capital and participate in secondary transactions.
According to Caplight, SPVs account for 12% of secondary transaction volumes measured in early 2023.
By the final quarter of 2024, that figure had risen to 43%, bringing increased interest from investors in private mask ventures.
