<h1>Tesla Stock Drops 14% Amid Backlash Over Musk's Political Support and Struggles Across Ventures</h1> Tesla's stock has plummeted 14% to $226.11, its lowest since October, as investor confidence wanes. The decline follows Elon Musk's support for President Donald Trump and far-right candidates, which alienated Tesla's typically liberal customer base. Musk's $270 million campaign contribution to Trump and his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency have further fueled discontent. Tesla's global sales have dropped, with significant declines in California, China, and Europe. Protests and vandalism at Tesla showrooms highlight the backlash. Additionally, Musk's other ventures, including SpaceX and the X social media platform, are facing operational challenges.
