Tesla's (TSLA, Financial) stock took a sharp drop during Friday morning trading as investors rethinking their support after recent aggressive gains achieved after Trump's victory. The investors who expected extended benefits from CEO Elon Musk's association with former President Donald Trump now show Skepticism because of growing doubts about Tesla's fundamental car business.

Members of the market retain a cautious approach because Tesla operates in a turbulent environment as it works to manage its foundational business operations.
