Tesla's valuation surged after the election, though Tesla themselves had done nothing meaningful to cause this. So that was obviously based on an expectation that Musk being a Trump insider would be good for the company's profits.

Now it turns out that Musk's shenanigans mean that large numbers of EV buyers don't want to be associated with him and don't want to put their money in his pockets. So both the rise and the fall are nothing to do with Tesla, but down to investors changing their minds about whether his other activities are an asset or a liability for the company.
