Tesla’s (TSLA) first-quarter earnings were far from good, falling short of expectations across the board. Yet, shares of the electric vehicle (EV) giant jumped over 6.6% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, April 23. The rally came after CEO Elon Musk reassured investors that he intends to refocus his attention on Tesla, following a period of primarily focusing on his controversial role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
