Tesla investors saw a glimmer of hope on Wednesday after reports suggested that Elon Musk could soon step down from his role in the Trump administration. The speculation fueled a 5% rebound in Tesla’s stock, which had earlier dropped as much as 6.4% due to disappointing first-quarter vehicle deliveries.

While the White House dismissed the report as "garbage," it nevertheless sparked optimism among shareholders who believe Musk’s return to full-time leadership at Tesla could help the struggling electric vehicle maker regain its footing.
