As thick as thieves

Rough waters ahead

In recent days, the stock price for Tesla has tanked significantly. Elon Musk has been making waves all over social media due to his controversial and questionable behaviour on the digital and world stage. The man has been accused of doing a frowned upon gesture at the president's inauguration and has outwardly supported a far-right German party.

Even though many people have found what he has to say to be negative and destructive, he retains many fans on his platform X. Several commenters loved how patriotic the whole situation was, with only a few people giving criticism here and there. Some suggested that Trump should buy a whole fleet of Tesla models.
