Tesla stock keeps falling. Now a teachers' union wants big money managers to rethink their investments
Briefly

As Tesla shares decline due to CEO Elon Musk's controversial behavior, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) expresses concern about the company's financial health. Union president Randi Weingarten sent a letter to major asset management firms addressing Tesla's drop from $489 to as low as $290.80, questioning its market strength amidst rising costs and competition. The letter highlights a 60% sales decline in Germany and the emergence of new competitors like IONNA, indicating a pattern of vulnerability in Tesla's pricing strategy. The growing unrest echoes broader concerns over Musk's divided attention and high executive compensation amid challenges.
These are not isolated incidents but rather a troubling pattern that suggests Tesla's pricing power is eroding, leaving it vulnerable to market fluctuations and increased competition.
Weingarten pointed to Tesla's stock price dropping to as low as $290.80 from a high of $489, as well as the company's market capitalization falling below $1 trillion.
