Tesla shares (NASDAQ: TSLA) are falling in premarket trading on Tuesday morning, down 4.56% to $303.18 as of 5:05 AM Eastern Time after closing at $317.66 on Monday. The electric vehicle manufacturer's stock has come under crossfire from a renewed political spat between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, marking the end of what analysts called a 'temporary truce' between the two high-profile figures. This latest event comes at a particularly delicate time for Tesla as the company prepares to release its important second-quarter delivery data.
The Trump-Musk feud is heating up over the spending bill
The calm phase in Musk and Trump's relationship abruptly ended when Tesla's CEO began a series of attacks on X against the 'One Big Beautiful Spending Bill' making its way through the U.S. Senate.
Musk criticized senators supporting the proposed spending legislation, warning that it could add $5 trillion to the deficit and threatening that 'every congressman who voted for government spending cuts will lose their primaries next year if this is the last thing I do on Earth.'
President Trump quickly responded with posts on Truth Social in the early hours of Tuesday, directly threatening Tesla's business interests. Trump suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk effectively led, 'take a good, hard look' at the subsidies given to Musk's companies. The president also stated that he is 'strongly opposed to the electric vehicle mandate,' signaling potential policy changes that could affect Tesla's core business.
This marks a significant escalation of their previous public disagreement on June 5, when Tesla's stock fell 14% after personal attacks between the two figures. After that incident, a truce was reached, and Tesla's stock price rebounded by 20%, but Tuesday's events show that peace was only temporary.
The timing of this political drama could not be worse for Tesla, which is preparing to release its second-quarter delivery data. The company is under close scrutiny from traders and fund managers who are hoping for signs of a sales rebound now that Musk is presumed to have stepped back from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to return to his business full-time.
Tesla's shares have already fallen 21% year-to-date, significantly underperforming the broader market. Amplifying investors' concerns, RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan last week published a note forecasting deliveries of just 366,000 vehicles in the second quarter, well below the consensus estimate of 406,000.
Such disappointing delivery figures combined with the renewed disputes between Musk and Trump could create significant headwinds for Tesla's stock dynamics in the second half of 2025. The company's current market capitalization is $1.02 trillion, and its P/E ratio is 181.52, making it particularly vulnerable to any negative sentiment.
With analyst price targets ranging from a low of $115 to a high of $500 and an average target of $306.07, Tesla's shares remain extremely volatile and sensitive to both operational performance and external political factors.
