The swagger is back in Tesla’s step. A few months ago, Elon Musk’s company was the butt of every joke on Wall Street, a growth stock with no growth to quote Wells Fargo. Pundits began questioning why anyone still even included it among the high-flying Magnificent Seven after Tesla trailed all 499 other stocks in the benchmark S&P index—even the scandal-ridden Boeing.
