Tesla shares plunged on Monday, hitting their lowest point since
before Election Day, as investors registered the impact of falling
sales and increasing protests over the high-profile political role
that Elon Musk, the company's chief executive, has taken on.
In afternoon trading, the electric-car maker's shares were down more
than 13 percent for the day, and more than 50 percent from a
mid-December peak. The day's loss far outstripped the 2.5 percent drop
in the S&P 500.
The steep rise in Tesla shares that followed Donald J. Trump's
election as president, and Mr. Musk's appointment as de facto
government cost-cutting czar, has evaporated along with more than $700 billion in stock market value.

If I was a speculator, I might actually consider buying a little bit of
tesla, since surely Musk will manipulate Trump into some teslas benefit,
and the shares will again increase with 10%-20% or so.
But, since I do not like the product (I like ICE cars without
surveillance, tha will take me from point A to B as cheap as possible
without recharging troubles or battery fires) and since I am more of an investor at heart, I will not buy tesla.
In fact, as per your previous message, I think we might have a
mini-recession in fron of us which might take the market down 20%-30%, so
for the moment I am saving my money and will buy if it dips.
