'Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY!" tweeted the president-elect. "Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax."

Immediately following the tweet, shares of Toyota dove into slightly into the red, down 0.5% as of 1:27 p.m. ET. The drop is similar to the falls of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and General Motors after similar critical tweets from Trump.

This is the second time in a week that Trump has gone after an automaker. Trump attacked GM on Tuesday for possibly moving production of its Cruze model to Mexico.
