TOPLINE​

Tesla stock officially traded lower Monday than it did ahead of President Donald Trump’s November victory, wiping out what was once a 91% gain for shares of the electric vehicle company run by Trump lieutenant Elon Musk, as Tesla becomes the face of the ongoing stock market slide.

KEY FACTS​

Shares of Tesla declined about 15% to $225 by mid afternoon, registering their lowest share price since Oct. 23, the day before the election.

Monday’s Tesla dive came as part of broader losses tied to concerns about Trump’s economic policies, as the tech-concentrated Nasdaq Composite dropped more than 3% and crossed into 10% correction territory.

And driving down Tesla shares specifically was a note from UBS analyst Joseph Spak calling for Tesla’s 2025 vehicle deliveries to decline by 5%, which would be the second consecutive year of negative growth for Tesla, moving against consensus analyst forecasts of 12% vehicle delivery growth this year.

Tesla stock is down more than 53% from its all-time high set in December, when its share price took off on the prospect of friendly Trump administration policies toward the heavily regulated company.

BIG NUMBER​

$141.5 billion. That’s how much lower Musk’s $322.5 billion net worth is than his record $464 billion set in December, according to our latest calculations. Musk, Tesla’s largest shareholder, is still worth roughly $114 billion more than any other person on Earth. Musk’s net worth fell by $20 billion Monday amid Tesla stock’s drop.

SURPRISING FACT​

Tesla stock is down 11% since Election Day. Its market capitalization is down close to $800 billion from its December peak.

KEY BACKGROUND​

Musk, who donated $288 million toward Trump and other GOP election efforts, has dedicated much of the last few months to his position as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a commission Trump created to oversee cost cutting and government employee layoffs. Tesla is one of the American firms most directly affected by Trump’s tariffs, as China is the company’s second-largest market and Tesla’s cars rely on parts from Canada, China and Mexico. Beyond tariffs, Tesla stock has been weighed down by reports of significantly lower sales to open 2025 in China and Europe as analysts warn Musk’s outspoken politics are eating into Tesla’s brand reputation.

Tesla's current PE ratio is an eye watering 111.35 despite its current devaluation while Nvidia, the most recent AI bubble stock is 36.41.

Telsa's valuation has always been vastly out of line with reality. Compare Tesla's market cap to any other automaker. Tesla's market cap is greater than multiple top automakers combined despite having only a tiny fraction of the sales. It's obvious that Tesla isn't going to become the next Ford or Toyota despite being valued more than both combined. Telsa has much much farther to drop.

I don’t know. Tesla could definitely turn into what Ford is currently trading at.

yep, the media and the internet in general loved musk up until he bought twitter. taking away their precious blue checkmark and no longer pushing LGBTQIAP+ issues in the japanese feed really pissed off all the journos.

America's journalist class see themselves as the true guardians of "our democracy". They see themselves as the people pushing America forwards towards a better socialist world that can defeat capitalism and the bad guys.
These people see themselves as defending the boomer truth regime from nazis and everyone who tears away at their precious progress. There is a reason our elites lost the plot. When every bad guy is Hitler and total war is just and necessary to go against a rival aggressor weather it be saddam, Putin, ghadaffi, or some other individual.
It's leaving our elites in an Insane hollowed put space where they can't understand the world.
The plan was China numba 1 after Taiwan loses and the US becomes a second tier power that becomes majority non white and like Brazil can be used and abused until they're milked dry.
South Africa was supposed to be the future with the elites in clean and safe cities while the rest lived in squaler and now we're turning it on its head.

What is an ‘elite’ in this context? Because I’m looking at Trump’s inner circle and it seems to contain quite a few very powerful and very rich people right now.

Hell, there’s even a Soros dude right there!

It’s actually Palestine’s fault and we need to send young men to fight them. Must. Defend. Israel.

Is there a thread yet on the group of leftist that is targeting Tesla stores and vehicles?

Nope, the combined chimpouts don’t have a thread yet.

Ngl, I'm currently enjoying watching rddt burn down. Who bought them again? Was it google?

 

[Buck Broken Chimp]

This isn't fully Elon's fault (it is to a large degree). The car market has come down after the insane pandemic fueled stimulus rise of it.
But still America squandered a desirable EV lead and lost out to China's BYD in the end.

Google does indeed have stake in Reddit and is trying to curate it’s search engine to prioritize posts from there in the results.

Happenings thread on the Anti-Elon Musk/Tesla Protests And Attacks has been made if you would like to use that.

>Lost it all
555-Come-on-now, tesla is still worth more than every other car company by market cap. I'm not a fan of the man and think it's the most obvious example of how fake and gay derivative markets are but it's far from collapsed as a stock.

If you really are MAGA, you’ll buy a Tesla chuds. SIGNAL THAT VIRTUE!

Tesla has been overvalued since day one

A combination of those who missed out on the .com and Amazon boom buying any techbro stock they could, and the fact that circa 2010? EV makers were seemingly going to be assured profitability by government grant to force people out of ICE cars is what drove it.


The interim has only shown the public appetite for EVs quickly plateaued, and the lack of charging infrastructure is still as big an obstacle to EV supremacy today as it was 15 years back.

And the end of money printing for every green idea coming down the pike isn't gonna help.


@mr_negativity I remember people who really should have known better saying Tesla was gonna be bigger than General Motors based on the fact its shares were worth more to buy, SMDH.

America's journalist class see themselves as the true guardians of "our democracy". They see themselves as the people pushing America forwards towards a better socialist world that can defeat capitalism and the bad guys.

THIS BLOG POST KILLS FASCISTS!

With all that dickriding I thought I was looking at USPG for a moment.

Not surprised. There's currently "Musk Derrangement Syndrome" as bad or worse than TDS.

It's just that Musk has shit that idiots can attack without getting ventilated by the Secret Service.

Musk Derangement Syndrome is what happens when the manlet takes too much special-K and has to put on his cool guy shades indoors. Very dissociative, very demure.

I remember knowing tesla was overvalued back in the late 2010s. This is why agenda investing is always terrible. The cars aren't bad, but nowhere near what the dickriding public and electek claimed they were back then.

Who cares? Can the left EVER talk about things that matter?

Everything they talk about is bullshit that no one cares about

Elon, Ukraine, trannies, palestine, covid masks and shots...no one cares faggots
