“So I have updated the Tesla, Inc. mission to amazing abundance, and this is intended to send a message of optimism about the future.”

Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, on earnings call 28 January 2026 Tesla Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript (Motley Fool)

Musk has updated Tesla's mission to "amazing abundance".

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Judge as of 2026-01-28. True: by that date Tesla's official mission statement, on its website, investor materials, shareholder update or a filing, had been changed to one built around "amazing abundance" (e.g. "Building a world of amazing abundance" or close wording containing that phrase). Mostly true: the mission was officially changed by that date to an abundance-themed statement whose wording differs slightly (e.g. "abundance" without "amazing"), or the change was announced that day and formally posted within the same announcement cycle. Mostly false: Musk had only proposed or described a new mission, and Tesla's official materials as of that date still showed the old mission ("accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy" or similar), with an official change coming later. False: Tesla's official materials show no such change was made or announced.

Evidence

  1. Tesla Officially Announces New Mission: "Build a World of Amazing Abundance" Gasgoo · 21 January 2026
    “On January 21, 2026, Tesla officially updated its company mission via Weibo, declaring a new purpose: "Our mission is to build a world of amazing abundance."”
  2. Tesla Officially Announces New Mission: "Build a World of Amazing Abundance" Gasgoo · 21 January 2026
    “The announcement formalizes a plan first floated by Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk in December 2025.”
  3. Elon Musk | Tesla Tesla · 22 September 2026 Own record
    “Tesla’s mission is to build a world of amazing abundance.”

Reasoning

Gasgoo, an independent outlet, reports that on January 21, 2026, before the judging date, Tesla officially updated its company mission to "Our mission is to build a world of amazing abundance" (E1). The same report says this formalized a plan Musk first proposed in December 2025 (E2). Tesla's own website later shows the same mission wording (E3). Together these show the official mission had been changed to one built around "amazing abundance" by 2026-01-28.
