On the internet, news like "Scumbag Link" and "Buy albums to support Taylor, help Taylor raise her child" hadn't even cooled down when another piece of news fiercely broke into the top three trending lists on major news platforms.
The cause was on September 12, when Tesla Inc. was listed on NASDAQ, (stock ticker: TSLA), becoming the first independent all-electric vehicle manufacturer to be listed in the United States.
Tesla Inc. issued 13.3 million shares, about 14.3% of its total shares, at a price of $21 per share with a corresponding market value of $2.38 billion. On the opening day, Tesla's stock price rose to $28 and peaked at $35.
Tesla's market value smoothly surpassed $3 billion US dollars.
If it were just $3 billion US dollars, Link, a major shareholder of Tesla, would not have drawn much media attention.
