Many stocks are dominating the news headlines Thursday but Jim Cramer is keeping a close watch on Tesla Motors Inc TSLA, Twitter Inc TWTR and QUALCOMM, Inc. QCOM.

Tesla: Haters Will Hate Even More

According to Cramer, Tesla's post-earnings conference call was positive and the people who hate the company will "hate it even more because it was positive" and attribute its surprise profit to favorable credits it received in the quarter.

However, as a supporter of Tesla's products and not necessarily its stock, Cramer acknowledged the earnings report was better than expected although the pending merger with SolarCity Corp SCTY remains an overhang.

Twitter: Don't Be 'All Ga-Ga'

Moving on to Twitter, the company managed to beat expectations, although the expectations were low to start off.

He said investors shouldn't be "all ga-ga for Twitter" but the social media company did show an improvement in daily active users that was aided by live sports streams.

Twitter's announcement that it will lay off 9 percent of its workforce should boost the company's bottom line moving forward.

Cramer suggested that he can now see why another company would want to buy Twitter, but doubts it will be for sale moving forward.

Qualcomm: Brilliant Acquisition

Qualcomm's proposed acquisition of NXP Semiconductors NV NXPI will bring together two leaders in the semiconductor space different a different focus.

Qualcomm's expertise falls within the cell phone segment, while NXP focuses more on the auto space.

Cramer pointed out that the acquisition is even more brilliant when factoring in Qualcomm's overseas cash and NXP's domiciled in the Netherlands.
