Tesla Board Member Makes First Insider Stock Purchase in Five Years

Joe Gebbia's $1 million buy breaks a longstanding sell-only trend as Tesla navigates financial challenges and stock volatility.

Overview

  • Tesla insiders have exclusively sold shares over the past five years, with no purchases recorded until now.
  • Joe Gebbia, Airbnb co-founder and Tesla board member since 2022, bought 4,000 shares worth $1 million last week.
  • This marks the first insider purchase since 2020, contrasting with recent large sell-offs by other board members, including Robyn Denholm and Kimball Musk.
  • The purchase follows Tesla's worst quarterly performance in years, alongside a surprising 20% rebound in its stock price.
  • Insider trading activity, publicly disclosed under SEC rules, is viewed as a key indicator of internal confidence and governance at Tesla.
