Almost everything said about Tesla Inc. these days ranges from bad to worse.
The majority of 61 analysts following the electric vehicle and clean energy company led by Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk say investors should avoid buying the stock. Plummeting sales at home and abroad underscore Bloomberg Intelligence research showing 31% of car buyers -- including 41% of women who identify as Democrats – are less likely to purchase a Tesla after Musk, the unelected leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, became a pariah inside and outside the White House. President Donald Trump accused his biggest campaign donor of being a 'big-time drug addict.' Even Musk's artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, Grok, said Tesla is in a 'precarious position' with a 15% to 25% risk of a ' death spiral.'

Trump Threatens 35% Japan Tariffs, 'Big Beautiful Bill' Faces Resistance
resident Donald Trump threatened Japan with tariffs of up to 35% as he ramped up tensions for a third straight day, fueling fears of a worst-case scenario among market players.

Trump's multitrillion-dollar tax bill is running into Republican resistance in the House as moderate and ultraconservative GOP lawmakers threaten to defy the president. House lawmakers vote Wednesday on the Senate version of the bill, which squeaked through that chamber on Vice President JD Vance's tie-breaking vote. (Source: Bloomberg)
