A cryptic post from popular Tesla commentator Whole Mars Catalog is circulating online, reigniting speculation about a potential Tesla stock split. The tweet — just two words, 'Stonk split' — has drawn thousands of views, but as of now, Tesla has made no official announcement of any new split.
Tesla has executed two stock splits in its history. The first, a 5-for-1 split, took effect on August 31, 2020, and was designed to make shares more accessible to employees and retail investors. The second — a 3-for-1 split — followed on August 25, 2022, for the same stated rationale. Cumulatively, a single Tesla share purchased before August 2020 is now equivalent to 15 shares at today's split-adjusted price.
No verified source, SEC filing, or official Tesla communication has confirmed a third split is in the works. Until Tesla or an official regulatory filing says otherwise, treat this as community speculation — interesting to watch, but not a reason to make any financial decisions. If a genuine announcement lands, it will come through Tesla's investor relations channels first.
