Tesla Is The Biggest S&P 500 Loser Monday And For 2025.

Source: Investors Business Daily

Tesla is the S&P 500's biggest loser so far Monday. But TSLA stock is also the worst performer on the S&P 500 so far in 2025, as CEO Elon Musk's political persona causes further damage to the EV giant's brand.

Tesla stock dived nearly 14% to 226.73 on the stock market today, hitting their worst levels since Oct. 23, when Q3 earnings were released. Tesla had already round-tripped postelection gains. Shares are down nearly 54% from the record high of 488.54 set on Dec. 18.

Tesla stock is down 44% so far in 2025 as of Monday afternoon. That's the worst showing of any S&P 500 stock, trumping Deckers, which is off 41%.

He destroyed Twitter for fun.

Melon Husk personally destroyed Tesla's brand value with his core buyer demographic - Eco-conscious Liberals. The only thing that changed is that he's put his charmless, repulsive self in front of the public as the face of Trumpist Authoritarianism.

Kash Patel drives a red cybertruck but most MAGAts would prefer gas/diesel vehicles over electric.

that if the stock continues to tank, he is looking at margin calls for loans on stock he used to buy Twitter. If forced to sell, that depresses price further, causing more margin calls...

They have to do it slowly so as not to loose too much. But it doesn't look good to have pension funds bail on what was considered a good investment.
