Stock prices for Tesla and Trumps media company have both been slumping badly for several weeks. Tesla stock is down over 22% for the past month, and DJT down more than 42%.
When Trump agreed to appear on an interview last night on Twitter-X with Musk, Trump posted a promo about it on X, breaking his years-long pledge to only post on his own social media network.
The effect of Trump seemingly abandoning his forum in deference to the much bigger Musk platform? Approaching midday this morning, Tesla stock is up 3.8%, while Trump stock is down over 4%.
While both rich nepo babies are crazy, one actually understands how to make money with a company.

Musk didnt get good press from that event, he bungled a small livecast.
Not a tech success by any means.
If tesla went up, it was unrelated to the interview.

(14,638 posts)Its a bit of a stretch, but I think there is some overlap between Tesla and X. And X is up today while DJT is down.
