Tesla Inc.’s stock extended losses Monday, dropping below a price at which Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.
He was proven very wrong on Monday as the stock dropped to $217.41 within 45 minutes of the market opening, according to Bloomberg. It recovered from that trough throughout the day, even bouncing above its previous close, but the stock was down 3.8 percent on the day as of 3:45 pm ET.
Tesla’s stock has plummeted to a new low only three weeks after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick advised Americans to buy it because “it’ll never be this cheap again.” Elon Musk’s company’s shares dropped 10 per cent in early trading on Monday, leveling out at $214.80 down from $235.86 when Lutnick made his remarks.
The shares plunged more than 10% to $214.80 amid a broader rout in global equity markets. Lutnick said during a Fox News interview on March 19 that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.” Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk told Tesla employees the following day that they should hang on to their shares.

The New Republic on MSNEverybody Hates Howard LutnickUntil last week, nobody was more despised inside the Trump White House than “special government employee” Elon Musk. But after Musk’s $25 million belly flop in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election punctured his aura of invincibility, that baton passed to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Donald Trump has long entangled politics and business. Now, senior Trump administration officials are using their perches in government to reward companies that have embraced the MAGA movement. Elon Musk’s account on X — the social media site he owns — oscillates from promoting his brands like SpaceX and Tesla to making pronouncements that could reshape government.
One source said annoyance with the secretary is so prevalent it is “like being a mosquito at a nudist colony — where do you even start?”
