Summary
Elon Musk’s fortunes have plummeted by $148 billion amid Tesla stock plunging nearly 50%, government protests, and setbacks at SpaceX and Starlink.
A White House event with Trump, meant to boost Tesla, instead highlighted Musk’s growing desperation.
Musk’s other ventures are also struggling—SpaceX rockets have exploded during tests and Starlink lost a Canadian contract.
His role leading DOGE is generating backlash, with Musk appearing increasingly defeated in public appearances.
His reputation, which previously weathered controversies, now faces unprecedented challenges due to his political alliance with Trump.
So you’re telling me that stock markets don’t respond to investor sentiment, they respond to “basic facts”? Am I being trolled right now?
Nope, that’s not what I said. You’re building a strawman and moving the goal posts now. We’re talking about a single individual that you claim can’t emotionally handle seeing their stock value going down.
