I don’t think the market reacted so much to Musk vs the fact that Tesla selling prices have plummeted because it turns out they’ve saturated their market (but until then people believed in the hockey stick growth). It was obviously ridiculous because secondary market sales higher than direct sales cannot be sustained for very long (it indicates you can’t meet supply, but there’s obviously not an infinite amount of supply at the higher price point). That + the collapse of most stocks would account for most of the drop I think. There’s possibly some amount of knock on effect of Musk’s advertised Twitter problems creating a PR problem for him in terms of can he focus on Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX properly. There’s only so many drugs you can take to help you with that.
