How Elon Musk’s Tesla has surprised


00:00 Speaker A

All right. Let’s get a minute on that shot clock. And uh stock of the day is Tesla. I think it’s been my last four stocks of the day uh for the podcast with good reason. Uh this one is actually tied to Trump’s uh 100 day mark, which will be on April 29th. Now, coming into the Trump presidency, you would think Tesla would have done well. Stock would have been on fire. That hasn’t been the case. To the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, shares of uh Tesla look poised to be down more than 30%, despite Elon Musk having that close proximity to the president. Of course, Tesla’s first quarter results uh pressure uh in terms of sales, pressure in terms of profits, outlook not good. I know Musk is coming back, but still stock down more than 30%. And what really caught my attention here and why I’m calling uh why I’m making Tesla the stock of the day today. New AP poll uh on Musk. It found just 33% of US adults have a favorable view of Musk. That’s down from 41% in in December. Two-thirds of those polled say they have two, they have uh just given Musk too much influence in government. Put that together, you really start to understand why Tesla sales have come under pressure.
