This downturn isn't limited to Tesla. After, repeated losses, financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, previously optimistic about the US economy, are now downgrading their outlooks, citing "extreme U.S. policies."
Meanwhile, EU stocks doing pretty ok.

Just months ago, Tesla's market capitalization soared by $733 billion, one of the most rapid surges in S&P 500 history.
Fast forward to today, and that same valuation has plummeted by 54%, raising the hope of seing Tesla go even further down along with Musk.

For years, German politicians, even CDU figures, denounced in private the debt brake, yet curiously, in public, they upheld the orthodoxy.
The political class pushed the comforting illusion that southern Europeans dare to accumulate debt, while Germany remained a model of fiscal rectitude.
