Share prices tumble for technology stocks due to Trump's criticism of Amazon's tax avoidance, Facebook user data breach of trust, and Tesla autopilot incidence. President Trump accuses Amazon of unfairly deferring U.S. tax payments via its European operational hub in Luxemburg. This key cross-border corporate scheme can be legitimate, but this tax scheme rings the alarm bell for the American, British, and other governments in light of borderline tax avoidance. Also, President Trump complains that U.S. Postal Service cannot make money because it fails to charge higher delivery prices on the single ecommerce giant Amazon.
Meanwhile, Facebook faces the Cambridge Analytica user data debacle, and U.S. senators are likely to grill Zuckerberg in his congressional testimony. Both these recent Amazon and Facebook crises trigger sharp share price declines among the top tech titans Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Netflix, and Twitter (FAMGANT).
Tesla experiences an autopilot incidence in March 2018 where an autonomous car crashes into a nearby barrier before the driver switches off the artificial intelligence software to correct the car path. This new Tesla autopilot car crash aggravates the recent woes of Uber's prior autonomous car accident. Several tech stocks exhibit double-digits declines due to these recent crises. Major Asian stock markets suffer severe losses after U.S. tech share prices decline by a wide margin.
