Summary

Elon Musk’s fortunes have plummeted by $148 billion amid Tesla stock plunging nearly 50%, government protests, and setbacks at SpaceX and Starlink.

A White House event with Trump, meant to boost Tesla, instead highlighted Musk’s growing desperation.

His reputation, which previously weathered controversies, now faces unprecedented challenges due to his political alliance with Trump.
