Summary

Tesla shares plunged 15% on Monday, marking their worst single-day drop since 2020 and extending a seven-week losing streak.

The stock has fallen over 50% since December, wiping out $800 billion in market value.

The decline follows uncertainty over Trump’s tariff policies, brand erosion linked to Elon Musk’s political activism, and reports of vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles.

Tesla's European sales dropped 50% in January, while global EV sales rose 21%. Analysts warn that negative sentiment and delayed Model Y purchases may further impact demand.

sure.

I'm with you. but I do enjoy that chart all the same. Musk has always been an asshole ruining other people's shit. It was nice of him to fire his PR staff that was keeping the majority of people from realizing that.
