Tesla loses $152 billion in market cap after Musk-Trump spat, biggest hit ever
- Tesla's shares dropped more than 8% on Thursday, falling to around $304.50 amid Elon Musk's public criticism of President Trump's budget bill.
- The decline followed Musk attacking Trump's policy bill as 'massive' and 'pork-filled' and Trump's response accusing Musk of Trump derangement syndrome.
- This spat occurred as Tesla faces a 45% sales drop in the U.K. despite overall industry growth, and ongoing investigations into Tesla's Autopilot linked to fatal crashes.
- Trump acknowledged their past close ties but said, "I don't know if we will anymore," while Musk urged Congress to kill the bill he called a "disgusting abomination."
- Thursday's stock loss marks Tesla's largest since April 4 and reflects risks from policy changes threatening EV subsidies and Musk's strained political relationships.
