Live: Stock Market Climbs on Jobs Report, Tesla Recovers as Musk-Trump Feud Calms

U.S. markets kicked off Friday with strong gains, driven by upbeat job numbers and a temporary pause in the escalating feud between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump.

The S&P 500 rose 1%, surpassing the 6,000 level for the first time in months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped nearly 400 points, while the Nasdaq climbed 1.1%, supported by a rebound in major tech stocks.

Tesla shares staged a sharp recovery after a dramatic 14% drop on Thursday. The turnaround came after Musk backed off from a threat to suspend NASA’s Dragon spacecraft program—used for vital missions—following Trump’s warning about reviewing Tesla’s government contracts. While some reports suggested the two may speak to settle differences, the White House later denied any scheduled communication.

Their recent clash had shaken investor confidence, introducing fresh volatility into a market already dealing with economic uncertainties and ongoing tariff impacts. The standoff also raised concerns about the future of federal partnerships crucial to Musk’s business operations.

In economic news, the May jobs report helped lift market sentiment. Employers added 139,000 jobs last month, beating forecasts of 126,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, reinforcing the view that the U.S. labor market remains resilient even as trade pressures linger.

Reacting to the report, Trump renewed his criticism of the Federal Reserve, urging it to cut interest rates by a full percentage point. “Go for a full point, Rocket Fuel!” he posted on social media, pressing for a faster response to support economic momentum.

    Omada Health shares soar 36% after strong Nasdaq debut priced at $23

    Omada Health (OMDA) saw its stock jump 36% to about $25 per share on Friday following its first day of trading on Nasdaq.

    Analyst Jonas and his team noted, “While Tesla’s current challenges are well known, the company’s future opportunities may be significantly underestimated.”

    Tesla shares jumped as much as 4.5% on Friday, rebounding from a sharp sell-off that erased over $150 billion in market value following the Musk-Trump clash.
