Fast-rising electric vehicle company, Tesla recently surpassed Facebook by market capitalization at the most recent trading session. Tesla stock rallied more than 7%, bringing its market value to $834 billion. Facebook, meanwhile, closed at a market capitalization of $762 billion

Such surge places Elon Musk’s automobile company as the fifth-biggest company in the U.S stock market index when considering the share classes of Alphabet. It is now just behind Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet.

Note that after being named the richest man according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index, about a fifth of the car company’s shares are presently owned by the Chief Executive, Elon Musk and other insiders.
