Part 6/7:
Tesla, spearheaded by prominent billionaire Elon Musk, has not remained unaffected by these developments. Following the announcement of potential tariffs, Tesla's shares experienced a 5% drop, the most significant decrease among the U.S.'s most valuable companies. Given that the automotive sector heavily relies on cross-border supply chains, further trade restrictions could severely disrupt manufacturers like Tesla. Notably, Musk has been a staunch supporter of Trump, having even held a position in his administration focused on governmental efficiency. However, the recent trade policy announcements have not favored Musk, and even with Trump's temporary delay of tariffs for Canada and Mexico, Tesla's stock has struggled to recover completely, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty.
