Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) massively defied expectations in the past few weeks. The stock surged despite a Q1 earnings report that was dismal, and continued gaining as Musk made promises about robotaxis and Optimus robots.

Tesla shares dropped for a second straight day on Thursday, as a public spat between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump escalated.

Musk has long promised an autonomous Tesla vehicle, with estimates of delivery that were always “two or three years away.” Now a hand-selected group will be able to see the potentially game-changing car in action in the Texas capital for themselves.
