Beijing, January 27 (Xinhua) despite analysts' divergent views on Tesla's outlook, the company's fourth-quarter revenue and net profit exceeded expectations, sending its share price up nearly 11% on Thursday. Musk made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill on Thursday and met with McCarthy, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. "he's here to wish me a happy birthday," said McCarthy, who turned 58 on Thursday. "We've been friends for years."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) also sent a message of optimism, saying that the recent price cuts had greatly boosted demand and that car production this year was expected to reach 2 million. "if things go well this year without major supply chain disruptions or major problems, we are likely to produce 2 million cars this year. I think there is the same demand in the market." Musk told an analyst.

Tesla's share price soared 10.97%. Analysts have mixed reactions to Tesla's results. "some are optimistic, some are pessimistic." This is the title of the investment bank Bernstein's report on Thursday morning. Bernstein noted that the company was still "uneasy about Tesla's shares" and reiterated its rating of "outperforming the market". Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Adam Jonas was more optimistic, reiterating his "overweight" rating with a target price of $220.

As of Thursday's close, Tesla shares were up $15.84, or 10.97%, at $160.27, with a market capitalization of $506.1 billion.

In addition, Musk made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill on Thursday and met with McCarthy, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. "he's here to wish me a happy birthday," said McCarthy, who turned 58 on Thursday. "We've been friends for years."

Asked if he had discussed the debt ceiling with Mr Musk, McCarthy replied "no". When he entered the House of Representatives to vote, he ignored other issues. Musk was not seen leaving McCarthy's office on the second floor of the Capitol immediately.

Musk later said on Twitter that he had met with House Speaker McCarthy and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries (Hakeem Jeffries) to "discuss how to ensure that Twitter is fair to both parties." It is not clear where the meeting with Jeffries took place.

Musk, a long-time donor to McCarthy, urged voters to vote for the Republican Party last year. He also attended a meeting with McCarthy last year and recently tweeted his support for McCarthy as speaker.
