  • People don't fill out a questionnaire every time they sell Tesla stock, so we don't know exactly what causes its price to go down. The evidence is strong, though, that Tesla shares trade down when the spotlight shines extra brightly on Musk paying attention to other things.

Elon Musk's recent controversial statements and actions have led to a significant backlash, including calls for a boycott of Tesla, resulting in a noticeable decline in the company's stock prices. According to a recent article on Slate, Musk's comments, which ranged from political endorsements to insensitive remarks about various social issues, have alienated a portion of Tesla's customer base and investors.
