Summary

Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.

Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.

Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
