Tesla’s stock experienced a premarket decline, falling by 3.3% in the previous session. Despite rumors of its gigafactory in Shanghai commencing trial production and mass production expected early next year, the drop mirrored a broader tech downturn. This rout has been fueled by concerns over the pace of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025. Meanwhile, Tesla’s trajectory remains closely tied to Elon Musk’s controversial remarks and actions.
Musk’s Controversial Statements
Billionaire Elon Musk has been at the center of several provocative statements lately. He recently vowed to "go to war" with the MAGA movement over skilled migrant visas, promising to expel any "hateful, unrepentant racists." These remarks have spiraled into a broader discussion about his views on immigration and political dissent.
The H-1B Visa Controversy
Musk’s recent backlash was sparked by criticism of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers. "Take a big step back," Musk stated in response to these criticisms. The world’s richest man defended the program as essential for America’s success, citing his own background: he arrived in the U.S. from South Africa on an H-1B visa and credits it with enabling his career in aerospace and technology.
Despite this, Tesla’s stock has surged approximately 68% year-to-date, reflecting investor confidence in Musk’s leadership despite his controversial remarks.
Sangamo Therapeutics saw a significant drop of nearly 50% in premarket trading on Tuesday. This decline followed news that Pfizer has decided to terminate its partnership with the drugmaker, signaling a shift in strategy for developing a gene therapy to treat hemophilia A. Sangamo is now evaluating all options to continue producing its drug despite the breakup of the collaboration.
Pharma Giant’s Decision
Pfizer’s decision came after the company achieved its stated goals in late-stage clinical trials. However, the drug was expected to receive U.S. and European approvals early next year. This development has left Sangamo in a challenging position as it navigates potential disruptions in its supply chain and regulatory landscape.

The broader tech rout and shifting monetary policy expectations have contributed to Bitcoin’s instability.

Central banks worldwide are adjusting their monetary policies in response to economic data and global trends.

Tightening or easing policies can significantly impact investor sentiment and corporate valuations, creating a ripple effect across asset classes.
The tech sector has faced significant volatility, with companies like Tesla and Sangamo Therapeutics experiencing mixed reactions to their respective developments. As central banks navigate complex economic landscapes, market-moving events will continue to shape the trajectory of these companies and others in the sector.
