Tesla's stock plummeted after a public dispute between Elon Musk and Donald Trump over proposed rollback of EV tax credits.
The clash began with Musk criticizing a legislation introduced by Trump to eliminate the federal $7,500 EV tax credit, leading to a heated exchange between the two.
As tensions escalated, Trump threatened to cut government subsidies to Musk's companies, causing market turmoil and Tesla's stock to drop by 14.2%.
Efforts are now being made to de-escalate the situation, with reports of arranging a call between Musk and Trump to address the issue and its impact on the EV market in the U.S.
