65% Informative
Elon Musk has become as much the face of Donald Trump’s presidency as Trump himself.
The electric car company lost 24 percent of its value in February , and then it fell another 3 percent on Monday , the first trading day of March .
Aaron Carroll : The evidence is strong that Tesla shares trade down when the spotlight shines extra brightly on Musk paying attention to other things.
David Gergen : Anti-Tesla boycotts have not outweighed the benefit to Tesla ’s stock from having its CEO more or less running the U.S. government.
Gergen says it's not as if Elon Musk quieted down or became a less controversial public figure the past two years .
He says the anti-Musk, anti-Tesla forces in a place of opportunity in this time will be different.
