Tesla shares fall as growing Trump-Musk spat rattles investors

Agencies New York Cracks in the relationship between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, his self-proclaimed 'First Buddy', are scaring Tesla shareholders as the two fired salvos at each other in increasingly heated rhetoric on Thursday. Shares fell more than 8 percent on Thursday on a day otherwise devoid of news for the electric automaker, as traders dumped the stock in heavy trading after Musk stepped up his criticism of the president's tax bill. Trump fired back, alleging Musk was upset because the bill takes away tax benefits for electric vehicle purchases, while investors feared their souring relationship could hurt Musk's sprawling business empire. 'Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' Trump said. 'He said the most beautiful things about me. And he hasn't said bad about me personally. That'll be next. But I'm very disappointed.' Musk, the world's richest man and a key figure in the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) cost-cutting plan for several months, has blasted the bill, after he decided to spend less time in the White House and instead focus on his companies. On his social media platform X, Musk has called on Congress members to kill the legislation, calling it a 'disgusting abomination'. 'It more than defeats all the cost savings achieved by the DOGE team at great personal cost and risk,' Musk, the largest Republican donor in the 2024 election campaign, said on X on Tuesday. Musk's leadership of DOGE and his alignment with the Trump administration had put off some Tesla buyers. Sales of his EVs slumped in Europe, China and key US markets like California, even as overall electric vehicle purchases continue to grow. Musk has slowly started to separate himself from the White House in recent weeks, stung in part by the wave of protests against Tesla. 'Elon's politics continue to harm the stock. First he aligned himself with Trump which upset many potential Democratic buyers. Now he has turned on the Trump administration,' said Tesla shareholder Dennis Dick, chief strategist at Stock Trader Network. The ECB cut its deposit rate from 2.25 percent to 2 percent. Musk's other businesses, SpaceX and Starlink, dominate their respective markets, but have also come under scrutiny due to Musk's relationship with Trump. Those two businesses often serve as the default choice for commercial launches and satellite internet deployment, and foreign governments have increasingly looked to Starlink, with regulatory approvals smoothed by Musk's ties. Tesla shares are down 12 percent since May 27, roughly coinciding with his decision to pull back from Washington activities. Losses accelerated on Thursday as 100 million shares changed hands, roughly the daily volume over the last 100 days. The stock has been on a roller-coaster ever since Musk endorsed Trump in mid-July 2024 in his re-election bid, gaining 169% from that point through mid-December. That was followed by a 54 percent slide through early April as a 'Tesla Takedown' protest intensified. The House of Representatives version of the budget bill proposes largely ending the popular $7,500 EV subsidy by the end of 2025. Tesla and other automakers have relied on incentives for years to drum up demand, but Trump promised during the transition to end the subsidy. Tesla could face a $1.2 billion hit to its annual profit, along with an additional $2 billion setback to regulatory credit sales due to separate Senate legislation targeting California's EV sales mandates, according to JP Morgan analysts. 'The budget bill contains bad stuff for Tesla with the end of the EV credits, and just generally his falling out with Trump has risks for Tesla and Elon's other companies,' said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital Management. Musk's public attacks have upset potential Republican Tesla buyers as well, Dennis Dick said. One White House official on Wednesday called the Tesla CEO's moves 'infuriating.' The billionaire joined Senate Republican deficit hawks this week to argue that the House bill does not go far enough in reducing spending. Overall, Tesla shares are down 22 percent this year, including Thursday's losses. But the company is still the most valuable automaker worldwide by a long shot - carrying a market value of $1 trillion, way above Toyota Motor's nearly $290 billion. Tesla trades at 140.21 times profit estimates, a steep premium to other Big Tech stocks such as Nvidia.

Qatar Airways Group achieves strongest financial results in its history with QR 7.85 billion in the 2024/25 fiscal year

Qatar Airways Group has announced the strongest set of financial results in its history. Profits for the Group, which includes cargo, catering, and Qatar Duty Free, reached QR 7.85 bn (USD 2.15 bn) in the 24/25 fiscal year – an increase of more than QR 1.7bn (USD 0.5bn) on the year before. Qatar Airways Cargo, the world's leading cargo carrier, has delivered a remarkable financial performance, recording a 17% growth in revenue and achieving the best financial results since the COVID period. This is attributed to its agility in adapting to shifting market conditions, a focus on investing in digitalisation, deeper data-driven analyses, and its best-in-class reliability. Minister of Energy and Qatar Airways Group Chairman of the Board of Directors, H.E. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, said: 'These financial results show yet again Qatar Airways Group's leadership position not just in global aviation, but in driving the global economy. The achievements across the 24/25 financial year continue to position the airline and Group as a global economic force. This is not just a product of our employees' hard work, but of thoughtful, deliberate and strategic planning, which has allowed the business to thrive in a stable and sustainable way. 'Record-breaking profitability, underpinned by sound business decisions, is a hallmark of our success and I have every confidence that we'll see it continue.' Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: 'These record-breaking results are a testament to the hard work, skill and dedication of teams across all of Qatar Airways Group. I know that none of the outstanding results we're announcing today would be possible without our people – more than 55,000 of them across the globe - and it's our focus on fostering that talent, which has been a core focus of our Qatar Airways 2.0 strategy. 'We have also successfully implemented strategic partnerships throughout the industry, in order for the Group to remain agile in the face of ever-shifting world events, whether political, economic or environmental. 'All of this means we continue to offer and develop exceptional service in the skies, whether it's the award-winning Qsuite, fine dining, or super-fast complimentary Starlink internet connectivity for all passengers.' Key achievements of Qatar Airways Group over the last financial year include: Record-breaking 28% increase in profit in 24/25 financial year. Expansion of Hamad International Airport, enabling it to cater for 65m passengers annually. First global airline, and first in MENA region, to install Starlink super-fast WiFi on its Boeing 777 fleet. 25% minority stake in Virgin Australia. 25% acquisition of South African premier regional airline, Airlink. Introduction of conversational AI into its world-first digital cabin crew, Sama. A range of technical MoUs future-proofing and diversifying the business across the sector, as well as working to fulfil the ambitions of the Qatar National Vision 2030. Looking ahead, Qatar Airways also recently made historic aircraft and engine orders, ensuring that its already modern and technologically-advanced fleet remains at the forefront of commercial aviation, providing world-leading service to passengers across the globe.
