Elon Musk and Donald Trump have staged for hours a breakdown of a bloody divorce. With accusations exchanged in which it has threatened to withdraw aid to electric cars, the Disassembly from the International Space Station And it has come to the fore to Epstein’s namethe afternoon has been moved in the United States. The clash has mobilized the entire Maga Movement In favor of each other (including the request of the Elon Musk deportation).
And, in the middle of all, Tesla.
14%. Without a doubt, the afternoon figure in the United States. That is what The actions of Tesla came to fall Although, at the end of the day, there was a small rebound that left the action losing more than 11 % at the end of the day.
Thus, the price of the action started the day exceeding $ 322 and closed it by $ 284.70. If the final rebound had not occurred, we were talking about the shareholder would have left another 10 dollars per share. However, it is estimated that Tesla has left some 100,000 million dollars Yesterday.
On a personal level, Elon Musk has seen 34,000 million dollars volatilize with his discussion yesterday. Although we focus here on Tesla, we must not lose sight of the US government contracts with Starlink or Space X.
The youngest of the problems. In total, it is estimated that Tesla has lost $ 100,000 million in the last fight between Trump and Musk. The dialectical crossing has caused a socavon in the graph of the actions but that is not the greatest of the problems. Now, with Trump as an enemy of Musk, Tesla has to row in a complicated scenario.
The Robotaxi. It is the first indicated. Elon Musk announced that The first deployment of the robotaxi Tesla would take place in the city of Austin (Texas) whose mayor is from the Democratic Party But there are more derivatives that are intimately linked to the expansion of the service.
However, The Governor of Texas is a republican And, in fact, the State is one of the bastions of the party. To this is added that NHTSSA is a state entity in charge of appraining the novelties that want to apply to circulate on the road. With their decisions, for example, it forces operators to have flyers and pedals In their cars, something that I wanted to eliminate Elon Musk in his robotaxis.
The NHTSSA. The National Highway Traffic Security Administration (NHTSA) is also responsible for carrying out the accident investigations that occur when driving aid systems are active and has actively pursued the highway of Tesla.
Its financing depends on the United States Congress and depends on the Department of Transportation that is directed from the Government. In addition to the previous investigations, it is the one who is approved so that a vehicle can work with a higher level of autonomy. For example, it is the one who rewarded Mercedes with the possibility of circular without the driver paying attention to what you have ahead. Yes indeed, In very specific circumstances.
The aid. The withdrawal of the aid to the purchase of electric cars was something that, initially, did not seem to worry Elon Musk. Right now, the company’s leadership is so evident in the United States that they are the competitors of Tesla, who cannot offer the same autonomy-price relationship, Those who have to lose.
However, it is clear that the withdrawal of aid can damage the sales of the company and Tesla is not in a position to leave sales right now. In Europe, Every month passing is a bleeding and In China its sales have also decreased To the point that Byd is already the brand that VWe are more purely electric cars In the Asian country.
Regulatory credits. Another of the income roads that Tesla has been exploiting in recent years is the EMISSION CREDIT SALE. Donald Trump also showed his intention to prevent this type of practices that allow Tesla to draw income that since 2012 They have added 11,000 million dollars.
When accountability before the institutions, companies have to meet emission objectives. If they exceed the maximum allowed figure, they can Buy emission bonds to companies that have not reached said limit. Thus, they lower their average emissions and avoid a strong fine. The beneficiary company receives the money from a competitor but although the number of emissions increases, of course, below the limit that marks the economic punishment.
Goodbye to the Stock Exchange. Although it is not the biggest problem, the last six months have been a roller coaster of emotions for Tesla’s shareholders. At the end of 2024, the company closed the records in record, touching the $ 480 per share in mid -December last year.
Since then, the controversial messages of Elon Musk, His Nazi greeting during the day Donald Trump took command of the United States or Your support for the AFD ultra -right party in Germany caused a sudden fallen that made us clear to what extent the image of Musk viciaba the stock market of the actions of Tesla.
Little by little, the rumors of his departure from the United States government were already consolidating from mid -May, the shares consolidated the rise that had already begun in April. On May 7 the shares were worth $ 276. The confirmation that Musk focused on Tesla He lifted its price up to $ 363. In a few hours the entire climb has eaten.
And what is expected. In addition to the obstacles that the United States government can put to the expansion of robotaxis, the elimination of regulatory aid and credits, it remains to be seen how the shareholders will receive divorce between Musk and Trump.
Tesla is not going through her best moment. Its sales have collapsed in Europe And in China the rivals have been eating ground for a long time. It remains to be seen if the arrival of the Tesla Model renovation and It has an effect on the number of cars sold but in China the rivals squeeze both in Autonomous driving as in product. And in key markets such as German, local vehicles are winning ground with sales afloats. There, as in France, the approach to the extreme right may have been an unrecoverable slab.
