‘For Every Assassination, an American Tech Company Will Be Destroyed’: What Does That Mean for Tesla Stock?

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or the IRGC, has a new target. It is not any of the bases or embassies of the U.S. or other friendly countries in the Middle East. Rather, it says that for every assassination of its top personnel, the major branch of the Iranian armed forces will hit the very lifeblood of the American economy: its tech companies.

With a total market cap of about $20 trillion and employing roughly 10 million people, needless to say, any attack on the tech sector will serve as a body blow for the United States. Among the names on the IRGC's hit list is the EV, and now increasingly becoming an AI major, Tesla (TSLA). The list also includes other “Mag 7” counterparts such as Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL).
