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.

Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.

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

          All I have is a couple dozen gallons of gasoline. But it’ll do more good on him than in my truck.

          The legs are really the problem when stuffing a chunky human into a barrel (or so I hear). And a guy like Elon will displace about 25 gallons of liquid, so we really only have to pay for 30.
