⚔️ The decline occurred amid a public conflict between Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump.
📱 On the night from Thursday to Friday, Musk posted a series of messages on social network X, stating that Trump would not have won the elections without his support. He also supported the idea of impeaching Trump.
🚫 In response, Trump threatened to cancel government subsidies and contracts with Musk’s companies. Musk replied by announcing the immediate decommissioning of the Dragon spacecraft owned by SpaceX.
🕵️ Musk also accused Trump of connections with Jeffrey Epstein — a figure involved in a high-profile sexual scandal.
📈 Despite this, in after-hours trading on June 5, Tesla shares slightly recovered (+0.8%) following media reports that the White House is trying to resolve the conflict.
