Tesla's stock dropped by 3% on Tuesday, which is part of a larger trend of cooling off among popular trades after the US election. However, the electric vehicle manufacturer is still more valuable than it was before the election, with a post-election gain of 35%. Tesla's surge after the election was due to factors such as retail excitement and short trade unwinding, as well as potential benefits for the company under a Trump administration. Despite the drop in Tesla's stock, CEO Elon Musk remains the world's wealthiest person with a net worth of $315 billion.
