Summary

Tesla's stock fell 36% in Q1 2025, closing at $259.16, down from $403.84 at the end of 2024, making it one of the S&P 500’s worst performers.

The drop follows public backlash against Elon Musk's role in Trump’s cost-cutting DOGE initiative. Protests, vandalism, and a global “Tesla Takedown” campaign targeted Musk and Tesla.

Musk’s net worth dropped $121 billion.

Ongoing market volatility, tied to Trump’s new tariff plan launching April 2, is expected to further impact Tesla and broader markets.
