  • Tesla sales plunging worldwide

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 10 19:37:44 2025
    Tesla sales plunging worldwide amid Musk's new role in Trump White
    House

    Stock price is down from December high

    Elon Musk's post-election honeymoon at Tesla appears to be over.

    In the weeks after Musk went all-in on Donald Trump and came out on
    the winning side, the billionaire's net worth jumped an estimated $170
    billion as Tesla stock soared.

    But now the EV maker is struggling with declining global sales, tariff
    fears, and potential backlash to its CEO's political views.

    Maybe he can ask Trump for an exemption?

    For tariffs, I don't know if those who are exempt are posted online.

    T-rump 1.0 gave exemptions, especially with a donation.

    History Tidbit
    ======================

    What happened when Donald Trump imposed steel tariffs in 2018

    The White House responded to lobbying from carmakers with exemptions.
    The EU went after bourbon
    ...
    ...
    US imports of metals....Despite many exceptions on many products,
    some companies -- especially in the auto industry -- were rocked by
    the uncertainty and rising raw materials costs. Domestic steel
    producers also took the opportunity to push up their own prices.
