14% collapsed her share Tesla on Thursday (05.06.2025), eliminating about $ 150 billion in market value, as the public dispute between Managing Director Elon Musk and President Donald Trump escalated.
The controversy began when Musk criticized Trump’s new tax bill, which abolishes electric vehicles. Donald Trump responded threatening to cut off state subsidies and contracts with Musk companies, including Tesla and Spacex.
Investors are concerned about the impact of this controversy on Tesla’s future, in particular with regard to the development of autonomous vehicles, as federal regulatory approvals may face challenges. Tesla is based on camera systems for autonomous driving technology, as opposed to competitors using Lidar or radar, which could be a disadvantage if regulatory authorities impose stricter requirements.
This controversy comes at a time when Tesla faces sales, especially in Europe, China and California, due to Musk’s political attitude. Analysts warn that political turmoil can lead to increased control and possible regulatory reactions.
Despite the turmoil, some investors remain optimistic about Tesla’s long -term prospects, although the controversy adds an unpredictable element to both policies and markets.
