Google search interest, 2015–2026: Tesla draws the most searches; SpaceX reached its high in Jun 2026

Method

Live CSV from trends.google.com widget API on 2026-10-28. Worldwide web search, monthly 2015-01 to 2026-10. Google Trends allows a maximum of 5 comparison terms. Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, Starship and Cybertruck are from one 5-term comparison (100 = Tesla in 2025-03). Optimus robot is from a separate Tesla vs Optimus robot comparison; Tesla matched the 5-term Tesla series in all 142 months, so Optimus is on the same 0-100 scale (1 in 2024-10, <1 in every other month). '<1' is Google's published token for interest above 0 and below 1. 2026-10 may be a partial month. Values are relative interest, not search counts. A standalone Optimus robot series peaks at 100 in 2024-10 on its own scale and must not be mixed with these numbers.

Oct 2026 is shown as a partial month (dashed segment). Values of “<1” are drawn at 0.5. Sources: Google Trends query 1 · Google Trends query 2 · Google Trends query 3.
