While addressing a town hall event on Sunday, Musk said that his effort to cut the government down to size is ‘costing me a lot,’ while adding that he was being pressured to stop doing this. He finally went on to add that he thinks Tesla stock will do fine in the long run, and if anything, this is an opportunity for investors to buy the dip. "Long term I think Tesla stock's going to do fine, so maybe it's a buying opportunity," Musk said.
