1. Tesla: Shares of Tesla closed 9.75% lower on Thursday after CEO Elon Musk indicated the EV-maker will continue cutting prices despite taking a hit on margins. Tesla’s operating margin fell 779 basis points to 11.4% during the first quarter compared to the same period a year ago. Musk defended the EV-maker’s drastic fall in margins and said pushing for higher volumes and a larger fleet is the right choice versus a lower volume and higher margin.
