Tesla Q1 Earnings Beat Expectations, Stock Rallies Then Retreats; Four Whale Addresses Enter Million-Dollar TSLA Positions on Hyperliquid

Gate News message, April 23 — Tesla released stronger-than-expected Q1 results on April 23, with revenue growth reaching a three-year high and profits exceeding market forecasts, initially driving the stock higher. However, subsequent comments from CEO Elon Musk and CFO regarding 2026 capital expenditure sparked investor concerns, while reports of Full Self-Driving (FSD) entering China—which failed to materialize on April 22—further weighed on sentiment. TSLA stock retreated sharply, with premarket losses expanding to 3.5%, while the Hyperliquid futures contract traded at $374.

On Hyperliquid, four new whale addresses opened million-dollar-level TSLA positions today, with long and short sides balanced. This marked a notable increase, as the contract had only three whale holders previously. According to Hyperinsight monitoring, TSLA's mapped contract on TradeXYZ recorded $41.7 million in 24-hour trading volume and $39.4 million in open interest, reflecting heightened trading activity.
