(“ Tesla ”) posted the following on X. A transcript of the video is below: I was the first out of five kids to buy my own house. I'm living my dream. This would have not been possible without Tesla stock. Hi, my name is Kiyoko Orange. I've been at Tesla for 12 years. I started in Plastics Department. I worked my way up. I was a Production Associate and then a Team Lead and then became a Supervisor. Growing up for me—so there's five of us. We just didn't have it like other kids. We—all five of us kids—used to live in one of our family friends trailers. We just knew our parents couldn’t afford it. So, I started at Tesla. I grew with all the opportunities, and I was able to start a family on my own. Now I have 4 kids. I bought a Model Y, so now we can fit my whole family in one car. We bought our condo, now we bought our house. Tesla stock was able to help us put down a huge down payment for our house, about 3/4. It's a good feeling to have to be able to provide for your kids, seeing a smile and laughter on their faces. My dad, he had passed, so I wish he was here to, you know, to see. I think he would have been really proud because they never had, you know, a house they owned and his daughter has her own house. So, I think he would have been really proud.
