Tesla's stock has experienced significant fluctuations unrelated to its company performance, tied instead to market perceptions of potential gains from government policies. A market shift following a public dispute between CEO Elon Musk and Donald Trump has led to a drop in stock value by over $100 billion. Additionally, Tesla's erratic leadership continues to challenge its corporate stability with actions such as abruptly ending projects and reassigning personnel. In product news, Tesla is offering significant discounts on the Cybertruck, struggling with low sales and high inventory despite previous expectations of high production. The company has also faced legal challenges regarding the disclosure of crash data related to its self-driving systems, with Tesla arguing that such information could harm its competitive edge.
