Tesla's stock (TSLA) rebounded on Tuesday after experiencing its worst day in five years. The recovery followed comments by CEO Elon Musk, who announced that Tesla would significantly increase U.S. production in the next two years. Musk attributed this move to the "great policies" of President Trump, expressing confidence in America’s manufacturing future. During a White House event, Trump voiced support for Tesla, even stating he would purchase one of the company's electric vehicles, which helped boost investor sentiment. Tesla's shares closed up by 3.8% following the event.

Trump, who praised Tesla as a "great company," expressed hope that his own Tesla purchase would drive further sales of the EV. The White House emphasized that the tariff policies, which have fluctuated in intensity, aim to support U.S. manufacturing. This sentiment follows earlier reports that Honda planned to build its next-generation Civic in the U.S. as a response to tariffs.

Additionally, one of Wall Street’s top analysts, Adam Jonas from Morgan Stanley, urged investors to buy Tesla stock, considering the recent 50% decline from its December highs. Jonas attributed this drop to poor sales, negative brand perception, and market adjustments. He believes the pullback presents a buying opportunity for investors interested in Tesla’s AI-driven future.

Jonas projected a volatile year for Tesla, with a bear case of $200 and a bull case of $800. He also pointed out upcoming catalysts that could boost the stock, including advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, the unveiling of robotaxi testing in Austin, and updates on Tesla’s Optimus robots. Morgan Stanley maintains a "Top Pick" rating for Tesla with a target price of $430.

Meanwhile, Trump also weighed in on protests at Tesla showrooms, claiming left-wing agitators were behind attempts to boycott the company. Despite ongoing protests and challenges in Europe and China, Musk admitted that managing his various companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, while heading the controversial DOGE initiative, has been difficult. However, Musk insisted that he believes his efforts are "the right thing." Tesla shares have dropped more than 50% since their all-time high of $479.86 in December 2024.
