Musk's time at the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), his support of German far-right politics, and his general online political antagonism have led to a precipitous sales decline across the globe.

Tesla’s stock was recently right around the price at which it closed the session before a spat between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump culminated in a one-day drop of about $150 billion in Tesla’s market value.
