Not surprising.
Wait until Trump and his billionaire cronies feel the effect on the US defense industry as Europe spools up their domestic capacity.

How are Elon's lenders sleeping now that TSLA has lost almost half its value since December 17, 2024, and shows no signs of recovering?
When do the Securities Class Action lawsuits and Shareholder Derivative actions start?
Elon could be forced out as CEO.
He does Nazi it coming.

It appears that most of Elon's wealth derives from Tesla (TSLA).
Tesla share values will drop even further when institutional investors Such as Vanguard and Blackrock lose confidence in the company and start selling.
Sustained, noisy public demonstrations against TSLA can make it happen.

Yes, even worse if we count from mid-December 2024,
when it hit a high of $479.86.
Word has it that the Dutch Resistance wasn't fond of Nazis.
Maybe feeling the same way about certain high-profile people who are dominating the media right now?

YTD TSLA is down 28.67%.
Its market capitalization has fallen by over 25% in less than one quarter, assuming the number of outstanding shares has remained constant.
Compared to Mercedes and BMW, TSLA is ridiculously overpriced.
Buy in, if you're bullish.

Interesting that Tesla (TSLA) hit $425 per share right about the time of Trump's inauguration.
And has been sliding downhill ever since.
Trading at $285.56 right now now.

The Nazi salute should have been the point where Elon was fired.
