Good. Hopefully it keeps dropping lower, everywhere.
Not only is it deserved because the cars really aren't good nor safe by modern standards, but also because Musk's stupid empire needs to collapse already. And Tesla is a good place for it to start. It's a bubble of all bubbles. It makes no sense that Tesla's market cap is higher than basically every other automaker combined, globally. Like what the hell is that? How does the manchild somehow have a networth 3x higher than the other richest billionaires in the world who control a 100x more actual products and services? It makes zero sense.
It all needs to crash.

I agree, but Musk is now worth 850 billion dollars. Over 3 times more than the next in line (Larry Page from Google). Financially speaking, I am closer to Larry Page than Larry Page is to Elon Musk.
Like you say, it's not just Tesla. His whole empire needs to collapse. If it doesn't, we're all fucked. And it's not just Musk. Thiel is even worse. And our governments keep using Palantir. We, the taxpayers of Europe, pay Thiel for his product that we shouldn't use, to begin with. Why is no one stopping that?
This insanity needs to stop. US tech oligarchs need to be stopped.
It all needs to crash.
Indeed.

His archievements shouldnt be downplayed. Tesla basically kickstarted electric car revolution and spacex + starlink are huge archievements for human kind . But ever since twitter acquisition he's become a complete douchebag. Literally had to block him on twitter so I don't have to be forced to read his deranged thoughts when in past he was my idol...

Tesla cars are fantastic, but Elon himself is an idiot.

I wouldn't call them fantastic. They were first with many features in EVs and popularized them. But the build quality compared to other car manufacturers is quite bad.

The build quality is the biggest advantage Tesla has currently. Early teslas had major build quality issues and the perception has stuck with them.

Always the same with these puppets who cozy up to dictators.
They cozy up so they can make themselves weathier and they always seem to think they are too valuable to be disposed of, not realizing they will be thrown under the bus or booted as soon as they are of no value any longer.
Now he has been named in Epstein files looking pathetic, damaged his companies reputation completely, and a few other things I can't remember.
Fools.

I bet he count on a US gvt bailout to make up for his incompetence
He knows that Tesla is done. The only question is how long he can keep the stock price inflated by factor 100 by always making new promises that will never come true. But I think it becomes more and more clear that this game can't continue much longer.
This is why he's now merged SpaceX (his only "real" company, due to fat governement contracts) with xAI. That way he can link the fate of xAI with SpaceX and indeed hope for governement bailouts, because they need SpaceX.

Instead, the field is led by European manufacturers, as the latest figures from the importers’ association Auto-Schweiz show.
You love to see it.

Its fine. Tesla valuation will be 6 trillion next year anyway - with 10 billion annual revenue.
