Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if, by December 31, 2025, former President Donald Trump publicly threatens to impose new regulations specifically targeting Tesla Inc. The threat must be verifiable through reputable news sources or official statements. If no such threat is made by the end of 2025, the market will resolve to "No."
Background
In early June 2025, a public dispute between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump emerged, leading to significant financial repercussions for Tesla. The conflict began when Musk criticized Trump's tax legislation, prompting Trump to threaten the termination of government contracts with Musk's companies. This led to a 14% drop in Tesla's stock, erasing approximately $150 billion in market value.
