Tesla shares closed near $481 on Friday, close to a 52-week high, as investors weighed governance and regulatory risks beyond electric vehicle sales. The Delaware Supreme Court reinstated Elon Musk’s 2018 pay package, now valued at about $139 billion, reversing a prior ruling. The package could boost Musk’s stake from 12.4% to 18.1% if fully exercised. U.S. markets are closed Sunday.
