The pharma company leak story is definitely unusual - companies rarely risk their reputation with false procurement announcements. That said, the article's claims about a 3,000% stock incrase seem like typical hyperbole for promotional investment content. The more interesting angle is which unreleased product this could reference. Given Tesla's current roadmap, it could be: 1) Optimus robot (mass production), 2) Robotaxi/Cybercab (regulatory approval), or 3) Energy storage expansion (new Megafactory capacity). None of these seem likely to trigger a 3,000% move though - Tesla's already a $800B+ company, which would require $24 trillion market cap. More realistic is that the pharma company was either misinformed or this was an early leak of exploratory discussions.
