Musk-Trump Feud Distracts Tesla Traders Ahead of Robotaxi Launch
After years of anticipation and broken promises, Tesla Inc. said its robotaxi service is tentatively set to roll out later this month. Options traders aren't ready to buy the hype yet. Traders had braced for the milestone to come on June 12 — before Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said late Tuesday the company is aiming for a June 22 launch date — and their positioning in the stock's options signaled that few expected any fireworks. Options traders priced in a 5.4% move in the stock for the week ending June 13, according to data compiled by Tom Keen, options strategist at Piper Sandler. That's 24% below the stock's average realized weekly move over the past 12 months.

Musk says some of his posts about Trump 'went too far'
(Reuters) -Billionaire businessman Elon Musk said on Wednesday he regretted some of the posts he made last week about President Donald Trump as they had gone "too far". Trump said on Saturday his relationship with Musk was over after they exchanged insults on social media, with the Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO describing the president's sweeping tax and spending bill as a "disgusting abomination." Musk has since deleted some posts critical of Trump, including one signaling support for impeaching the president, and sources close to the world's richest man say his anger has started to subside and he may want to repair the relationship. "I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X on Wednesday, without saying which specific posts he was talking about. Tesla shares in Frankfurt rose 2.7% after Musk's post. Musk bankrolled a large part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, spending nearly $300 million in last year's U.S. elections and taking credit for Republicans retaining a majority of seats in the House and retaking a majority in the Senate. Trump then named him to head an effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. Musk left the role late last month after criticizing Trump's marquee tax bill, calling it too expensive and a measure that would undermine his work at the Department of Government Efficiency. Declaring their relationship over on Saturday, Trump said there would be "serious consequences" if Musk decided to fund U.S. Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Trump also said he had no intention of repairing ties with Musk. On Monday, Trump said he would not have a problem if Musk called and that he had no plans to discontinue the Starlink satellite internet provided to the White House by Musk's SpaceX but might move his Tesla off-site. "We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well," Trump said. Musk responded with a heart emoji to a video on X showing Trump's remarks.
