The fun part will be seeing how low it goes now. Because a lot of Tesla's value was their future potential, and if everyone realizes Musk is full of #### and makes stuff up, that future potential starts to look a lot more shaky. FSD that's been promised for almost a decade? Robotoxis? Your Tesla making you money as a robo-taxi? All Tesla's having all the hardware they need for full autonomy? Autonomous robots for $20k? Right, so if Musk is actually a blowhard full of #### that can't achieve what Tesla's future value is based on, people are gonna sell sell sell before it goes down to the value of an auto stock, around $25. And probably less than that given their absolute decimation of their left leaning customer base.

Investors likely expected Tesla to get a bunch of contracts, much like they did with the silly $400 Million armored Tesla purchases. Instead most of the money laundering went to Space X. The problem is Tesla is public, while Space X is private.
Republican and Trump hate towards anything Biden related also trumps everything else. Musk would also rather burn Tesla to the ground to spite Biden. He's still deeply pissed at the Biden snub at the electric vehicle summit and it was around this time that Musk personally went off the deep end.

Tesla cars are completely toxic now in the eyes of the public. There is no going back from the destruction of the brand.
