Tesla's first quarter earnings beat Wall Street expectations with profits up 16% year-over-year, briefly sending the stock surging in after-hours trading. However, CEO Elon Musk dampened enthusiasm by announcing $25 billion in planned spending this year on AI software, chips and manufacturing, erasing the stock gains. The quarter marked Tesla's second-worst net profits and vehicle deliveries out of the last 12 quarters, despite exceeding analyst expectations. Musk emphasized the company's long-term focus on AI, humanoid robots and fully self-driving vehicles, with Optimus entering production this summer.
