Tesla, Inc. is an electric vehicle and energy company listed on Nasdaq as TSLA. Its state of incorporation on the SEC’s filer record is Texas. Its Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 states that it operates as “two reportable segments: (i) automotive and (ii) energy generation and storage.” The automotive segment covers vehicle design, manufacture, sale and leasing, sales of automotive regulatory credits, and a services line that includes used vehicle sales, non-warranty maintenance and collision work, paid Supercharging, insurance and parts.
Governance
Tesla’s September 2025 proxy statement states that the board “currently consists of nine members who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.”
Relevance to digital political discourse
Tesla’s place in this record runs through its chief executive rather than its products. Elon Musk is the company’s chief executive and also, separately, the owner of the platform X; the personal overlap between a large manufacturer’s leadership and the ownership of a major political communication platform is the connection that matters here. That relationship is documented on the Elon Musk page and on the platform’s own entry rather than through Tesla’s corporate filings, which do not address it.
