The ongoing feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has triggered a sharp decline in Tesla’s stock, which dropped over 17%, wiping out nearly $380 billion in value. Musk’s criticism of Trump’s economic policies, followed by Trump’s threats to revoke government support for Tesla and SpaceX, has created uncertainty among investors. Finvasia, a leading financial services firm, highlighted the episode as a reminder of how political tensions can directly influence market dynamics. With Tesla already facing weakening EV sales and regulatory headwinds, the added political risk is deepening investor concerns. Finvasia analysts advise cautious positioning in politically exposed stocks as volatility across U.S. tech markets shows no signs of easing.
