Wall Street began to regain faith in Tesla after the firm reported record quarterly revenue and earnings in January, setting forth a rally that gradually gained steam as Musk found a replacement as Twitter CEO and played nice with lawmakers in the U.S., China and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Tangent<\/h2>\n<p>Tesla, which accounts for a majority of Musk\u2019s fortune, may be booming, but Twitter is amidst a far gloomier stretch as Musk\u2019s efforts to transform the company into the most valuable company on earth.
