Coco Gauff's ex-coach makes his feelings known on $359B-worth Elon Musk as Tesla stock plummets
Coco Gauff's ex-coach Brad Gilbert expressed concern over the US economy in light of plummeting Tesla stocks. He commented that the $359 billion-worth (as per forbes.com) Elon Musk should focus on his role as Tesla's leader.
The US stock market, believed to be reeling from the effects of trade tariffs announced by President Donald Trump, took a down turn on Monday, April 7. Musk, who serves as a senior advisor to the President, was also at the receiving end of investors' wavering confidence with Tesla shares falling to a record low.
Gilbert took to X to share his thoughts on Musk juggling his roles and likened the situation to a fixed tennis match.
"Maybe if Tesla stocks drop below 200 that will be the breaking point, time to go back to actually running your company, the brutal duo of Powell and the one we don't even need to name are destroying the markets, like starting every match atm down 6-1, 3-0"
Gilbert had also previously shared his frustration over the impact of the tariffs announced by the Trump administration via X earlier this month.
