A worsening global supply chain crisis is having an impact on automakers across the world, but despite the struggles, Elon Musk says that isn’t enough to stop Tesla’s growth

Tesla boss Elon Musk expects sales in EVs to grow by 50 percent despite ongoing supply issues.

The electric carmaker recorded a massive 5.5 billion dollars in earnings last year.

Mr Musk said that 2021 was “a breakthrough year for Tesla, and for electric vehicles in general”.

“While we battled, and everyone did, with supply chain challenges through the year, we managed to grow our volumes by nearly 90% last year,”

There have been fears that the company’s growth would slow, as supply chain issues affecting carmakers continue to limit manufacturing capacity.

Tesla said its supply chain was “the main limiting factor” to growth, “which is likely to continue through 2022”.

Elon Musk said he expected growth “comfortably above 50%” in 2022.

Carmakers around the world are grappling with a shortage of microchips, among other production and supply chain snarls, though Tesla had been seen as faring better than most.

It uses chips that are less scarce and quickly re-writes software, while competitors slow production.

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
