Tesla shares plummet as Musk starts a new political party

7th Jul 25 3:42 pm

Tesla shares have plummeted as investors are concerned over Elon Musk launches a political party.

At the start of trading Wall Street saw a loss of around $71 billion off the market value. Musk has publicly hit out at the US President over his โ€œbig beautiful billโ€ cutting taxes and spending.

Musk wrote in a post on his X platform on 30 June, โ€œIt is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!

On 4 July Musk wrote on X, “Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!

People voted 65.4% in favour of the SpaceX owner to create a new party, the next day the tech billionaire set up the American Party.

Musk wrote on X to his followers, “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with
waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.”

“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.โ€

The US President then responded to Musk on his Truth Social platform saying, “I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.

He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States –
The System seems not designed for them.

Neil Wilson, UK investor strategist at Saxo Markets, said, “Investors are worried about two things – one is more Trump ire affecting subsidies and the other more importantly is a distracted Musk.

Investors had cheered Musk stepping back from frontline politics but are now worried he’s going to sucked back in and take his eye off Tesla.
