Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) saw a sharp decline last week as the tensions between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump flared up on social media, however, this expert predicts no change in its long-term view despite the fall.
What Happened: After Trump and Musk’s public spat on Thursday, the automaker erased over $152 billion in market capitalization; however, Tom Lee, the CIO at Fundstrat Capital, remains positive on the stock.
In a video reshared on X, Lee said, the decline that we have seen recently is just coming back to support.
“I don’t think the long-term picture has changed much for Tesla,” he said.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.
Furthermore, he highlighted Tesla’s leadership and competitive strength in electric vehicle design and manufacturing, an affordable robotaxi product launching soon, Optimus robots with movement dexterity, and its foray into drones.
“Will all that Tesla still holds all of its advantages, so we aren’t too concerned about the decline,” Lee added.
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives also reiterated Lee’s views, saying that “Trump/Musk going from BFFs to frenemies does not change our bullish view of the autonomous path looking forward.”
He said that Wedbush still expects Trump to green light the regulatory federal framework for autonomous vehicles regardless of the feud.

Why It Matters: Tensions rose between Musk and Trump when he called the “Big Beautiful Bill” a "disgusting abomination" earlier this week, and both were seen allaying accusations against each other over the disagreement on the bill Thursday.
