Even Elon Musk fans dash for the sidelines with Tesla in freefall

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. faces a significant stock decline, sparking concern among long-term investors. Despite President Trump buying a Tesla to show support, the stock is down 52% from its all-time high. Analysts predict further drops due to negative sentiment, poor sales, and Musk's political distractions. Retail traders' optimism is waning amid bleak global sales forecasts.
