Tesla's founder Elon Musk wiped US$14bn off its value after tweeting its share price was too high in his opinion.
The tweet also knocked US$3bn off Musk's own stake in Tesla as investors promptly bailed out of the company.
"Tesla stock price is too high imo," he said, one of several tweets that included a vow to sell his possessions.
In other tweets, he said his girlfriend was mad at him, while another simply read: "Rage, rage against the dying of the light of consciousness."
In 2018, a tweet about Tesla's future on the New York stock market led to regulators fining him US$20m and agreeing to have all further posts on the platform pre-screened by lawyers.
