Wall Street rises as focus turns from Trump-Musk feud to the May jobs data
Wall Street is pointed toward small gains early Friday ahead of the government's May jobs report, which should at least briefly take the spotlight off the feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk that erupted publicly this week. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average moved 0.3% higher before the bell, while futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each rose 0.4%. Tesla rallied early, regaining some the whopping losses it suffered on Thursday when Trump and Musk sparred feverishly on social media. Shares of Musk's electric car company rose 4.7% early Friday, a day after tumbling 14.5%. The Trump-Musk spat started over the president's budget bill then devolved rapidly. After Musk said that Trump wouldn't haven't gotten elected without his help, Trump implied that he may turn the federal government against his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. By the end of the trading day, $150 billion of Tesla's value had been erased, more than what it would take to buy all the shares of Starbucks and hundreds of other big publicly traded U.S. companies. In other trading early Friday, Lululemon plunged more than 20% after the maker of yoga clothing cut its profit expectations late Thursday as it tries to offset the impact of tariffs while being buffeted by competition from start-up brands. Lululemon — like a slew of other companies recently — said its customers have grown less confident about the economy as Trump's dizzying tariff announcements wreak havoc on markets. Hopes that Trump will lower his tariffs after reaching trade deals with other countries have been among the main reasons the S&P 500 has rallied back so furiously since dropping roughly 20% from its record two months ago. It's now back within 3.3% of its all-time high. Trump boosted such hopes Thursday after saying he had 'a very good phone call' with China's leader, Xi Jinping, about trade and that 'their respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined.' China's assessment of the call, as reported in state media, was less enthusiastic. Later Friday morning, the U.S. Labor Department will report on how many jobs U.S. employers added — or lost — during May. The expectation on Wall Street is for a slowdown in hiring last month from a surprisingly strong April. A resilient job market has been one of the linchpins that's propped up the U.S. economy, and the worry is that all the uncertainty created by Trump's on-and-off tariffs could push businesses to freeze their hiring. Elsewhere, in Europe at midday, Germany's DAX lost 0.2%, while the CAC 40 in Paris slid 1.6%. Britain's FTSE 100 was flat. In Asian trading, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.5% to 37,741.61, while the Kospi in South Korea jumped 1.5% to 2,812.05. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.2% to 23,859.52 and the Shanghai Composite index edged less than 0.1% higher, to 3,385.36. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3% to 8,515.70. India's Sensex gained 0.8% after the Reserve Bank cut its key interest rate by a half a percentage point to 5.50%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury held steady at 4.39% after dropping sharply on Wednesday as expectations built that the Federal Reserve will need to cut interest rates later this year to prop up an economy potentially weakened by tariffs. In energy trading early Friday, U.S. benchmark crude oil lost 7 cents to $63.30 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 3 cents to $65.31 per barrel. The U.S. dollar rose to 144.24 Japanese yen from 143.49 yen. The euro fell to $1.1414 from $1.1448.

Trump-Musk feud: Will Tesla stock price bounce back today?
The most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world finally turned on each other. Yesterday, President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a full-scale war of words that seems to have been the final nail in the coffin for their bromance, which had persisted since Musk endorsed Trump for president in the summer of 2024. But it wasn't only their bromance that took a beating yesterday. Tesla's stock price (Nasdaq: TSLA) did, too. Shares fell nearly 15% as investors feared that the rift between Trump and Musk could lead to troubles for the electric car maker. How are TSLA shares performing the morning after the dust-up? Here's what you need to know. Trump-Musk feud crashes TSLA stock Yesterday saw the arrival of something that many saw coming from a mile away: the inevitable turn of Donald Trump and Elon Musk against each other. However, few people probably expected the event to unfold as publicly in real-time as it did, with the president and Tesla CEO exchanging accusations, insults, and allegations on the social media platforms that they own, Truth Social and X. The feud spiraled out of Elon Musk's increasing vocal opposition in recent days to the president's proposed 'One Big Beautiful Bill' that would see billions worth of tax cuts go to the richest Americans while adding an estimated $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Yesterday, Musk called the bill a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump then addressed Musk's comments with reporters, saying he and Musk 'had' a great relationship and adding, 'I don't know if we will anymore.' From there, things quickly spiraled. While the spectacle provided hours of entertainment and fascination to general audiences—and gave journalists plenty to write about—Tesla investors were probably dying a little inside with each social media volley. Shares in Elon Musk's electric car company continued to crash throughout the day as the Trump-Musk feud intensified. By the end of trading yesterday, TSLA shares had fallen 14.26% to $284.70 per share—wiping more than $150 billion from Tesla's market cap—its largest single-day loss in its history. But now it's the morning after—and both investors and the two men involved in the feud have, hopefully, had time overnight for a breather. Indeed, it seems that at least Tesla investors have, as TSLA shares are moving upward in early-morning trading. TESLA rises in premarket trading As of the time of this writing, TSLA shares are currently trading up about 3.96% to $296 per share in premarket trading. Tesla's share price recovery comes after Musk appeared to signal on X that he was open to healing the rift that had emerged between him and Trump, notes Reuters. In a post on X, billionaire investor Bill Ackman wrote that 'I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country. We are much stronger together than apart.' Musk then responded to this post, saying, 'You're not wrong.' Shortly after, the recovery in Tesla's stock price began. However, given that TSLA shares have only regained a fraction of what they lost yesterday, it's likely that investors are erring more on the side of cautious optimism than absolute certainty that Trump and Musk will make up. Investors are still probably very likely worried about just how bad a continuing feud could be for Musk's business interests. The president at one point threatened Musk's companies' government contracts. If the president so wished, he could also make life much more difficult for Musk's publicly traded company, Tesla, by hindering its upcoming robotaxi rollout through regulations or introducing other measures that would make the car company's business more difficult. TSLA stock has had a horrible 2025 Yesterday's dramatic share price drop in Tesla was nothing less than horrifying for most Tesla investors. The nearly 15% drop was the single worst drop ever in Tesla's share price in one day, noted Reuters. At the same time, Tesla's shares dropping is something investors are used to this year. While Tesla shares surged to an all-time high in December, after Musk and his donations helped return Trump to the White House, the stock has taken a beating ever since Trump took office in January. Before yesterday, there were two big reasons for TSLA's 2025 share price trouble: Tesla's deteriorating brand image among consumers who found Elon Musk's involvement in politics and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) off-putting and President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs, which threatened to raise prices. After yesterday, a third contributing factor to TSLA's price drop in 2025 is now the Trump-Musk feud. Since the beginning of the year, Tesla shares had fallen nearly 30% as of yesterday's close. From a high of over $428 in January, Tesla shares bottomed out in April at below $218. Until yesterday, they had managed to claw back some of that loss, rising to above $360 in late May. Then came yesterday's bromance bust-up—and that nearly 15% decline. Where TSLA stock goes from here largely depends on the mood of the two men in the days ahead.
