Elon Musk’s Prank On April Fools Has Backfired On Him

musk

Elon Musk made the worst April fool’s joke of all time. It all started with his usual series of tweets.

A day after Elon tweeted his joke, Tesla’s stock fell almost 7 percent. The shares dropped to $248 per share. This is nearly 36% decrease from the company’s peak worth of $389. The company reached this hit in the last summers. The drop in the shares was basically a reaction to Musk’s April Fools’ prank.

The fall in the stocks was very obvious since the bold joke came from a man who is heading a company which has more than $10 billion in debt. He had the worst month in the stock exchange during the past seven years. Three days prior to the tweet, he recalled a huge number of vehicles. In addition to that, he also missed another production milestone. Musk also faced scrutiny for the death of a driver of a vehicle which was operating in autonomous mode. He also avoided going bankrupt narrowly in the past. So no surprise that people actually believed him!
