The equity has fallen below its initial public offering price, with reports noting declines of up to 45% from its all-time peak. Concurrently, Elon Musk has issued warnings directed at investors holding short positions against the company.

Coverage from outlets including CNBC, Barron’s, Yahoo Finance, and Business Insider highlights the volatility following the company's debut.

Advisors are cited as urging caution regarding further investment.

Market observers are tracking whether the stock price will continue to fluctuate following its seven-day slide. Coverage does not yet specify how the company intends to address the short interest or if there will be changes to the current valuation models.
