TSLA stock is up over 7% after hours now. ~$15 billion of "value" created out of thin air. Sounds ridiculous.

About $6 trillion was "created out of thin air" in the S&P 500 since mid March. But don't confuse value with output or wealth. The market is forward looking and valuations are pretty unstable long term.
Everything is relative, we're printing a lot of money right now, possibly for the right reasons. In general though those valuation probably do make sense in a world where money is plentiful.
