Tesla’s shares moved into a free-call on Thursday as President Donald Trump publicly quarreled with Elon Musk, CEO of the billionaire of the electric vehicle manufacturer, his self-declared “First Buddy”.
Investors opened the drama opening what could mean for fractus Mask Business Empire. Car manufacturer’s shares reduced the day by 14 percent, erasing other news about the company $ 150 billion (about Rs 1,28,621 crore) in the market price in a day.
Traders dump Tesla After Musk, Trump’s criticism in heavy trade was responded to with social media posts, which carried forward the criticism of the President’s tax bill. Trump further firing back, alleging that Kasturi was upset as the bill takes tax benefits for purchasing electric vehicles.
Openly Tusrap There can be many obstacles for Tesla and many obstacles for the rest of musical empire. The US Transport Department regulates vehicle design standards and it will be a large saying whether Tesla can produce robotaxis extensively without paddles and steering wheels.
The agency is also investigating Tesla’s driver-assistance software, known as “full self-driving”, after a deadly accident.
Danis Dick, shareholder of Stock Trader Network chief strategist Tesla, said, “Elon’s politics damages the stock. First he aligned himself with Trump, who harasses many potential democratic buyers. He has now turned the Trump administration.”
With EV sales fall, Musk has re-oriented the future of Tesla around self-driving robotaxis compared to the previous year. On an earning call last year, he said that investors should “sell their Tesla stock” if they did not believe that the company would solve the technical challenges of driverless vehicles. Wesabash analysts have said that the market price for AI and autonomous opportunity company can be priced alone in the market price of $ 1 trillion (about Rs 85,73,329 crore).
Musk has advocated a federal approval procedure for autonomous vehicles to streamline the current labyrinth of various state rules.
Tesla’s investor Gerbar Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management CEO Ross Garber said the quarrel with Trump “makes a negative force against Tesla” that can endanger the rules and risk more government investigation.
“Every benefit that was believed to now turn into a negative,” said Gerbar.
Musk, the world’s richest man, and a prominent person in the Department of Efficiency Department (DOGE) for several months, destroyed Trump’s “big beautiful bill” this week when he decided to spend less time in the White House and focus on his companies instead. According to Forbes, after Thursday’s celloff, their net worth fell to about $ 27 billion (about Rs 2,31,557 crore) to $ 388 billion (about Rs 33,27,310 crore Rs 33,27,310 crore).
Trump said on his true social platform on Thursday that “the easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars is to end Alone’s government subsidies and contracts.”
Transport Secretary Scene Dafi has already gone to exempt autonomous vehicles from some security requirements, and NHTSA stated in April that it is “actively engaged in developing a multidimensional regulatory structure for autonomous vehicles”.
Although the federal government has already begun to streamline certain rules around autonomous driving, Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein said that regulators could probably make rules that would exclude Tesla.
Most autonomous vehicle companies use sensors such as radar and lidar to detect objects, for example, but Tesla depends entirely on cameras.
Goldstein said that federal regulators can prepare rules requiring lidar, causing damage to Tesla. Goldstein said, “With President Trump, his bad side always risks that you are going to take personal vengeance.” He suspected that such a result was likely, however, because many other companies have been emphasizing for new rules over the years.
The stock has been at a roller-coaster, as Kasturi has supported Trump in mid-July 2024, who is receiving 169 percent from the point in mid-December, in his re-election dialect. Thereafter, in early April, the 54 percent slide “Tesla Tekdown” took place as a protest. The leadership of Dogge and Alignment’s Musk with the Trump administration had shut down some car buyers, selling in major American markets such as Europe, China and California.
The Edition of the Representative Assembly of Trump’s Budget Bill proposed to abolish EV subsidy, popular $ 7,500 (about 6.43 lakh rupees) by the end of 2025. Tesla and other vehicle manufacturers have trusted the encouragement for years to eliminate demand, but Trump promised during transition to eliminate subsidy.
According to JP Morgan, Tesla may face $ 1.2 billion (about Rs 10,290 crore Rs 10,290 crore), which is for sale due to the sale of California’s EV sales mandate due to the sale of the regulatory Senate for the sale of the regulator Senate for a $ 2 billion in addition to $ 2 billion.
The company is still the most valuable automaker worldwide with a long shot. Through Wednesday, the market price of Tesla was around $ 1 trillion (about 85,73,329 crore), above the Toyota Motor’s $ 290 billion (about Rs 24,87,019 crore).
“A lot of people were excited about Tesla because political winds were back (Musk) back. And now they have turned into headwinds in very different ways.”
Tesla trades 150 times profit estimates, a steep premium for other large technical shares such as Nvidia.
“I am a little Tesla. I don’t understand this. I do not understand its evaluation.
