Musk's Tesla Troubles: Controversies and Trump Ties Impacting Stock? 

Is Musk’s political involvement tanking Tesla? A 126 billion dollar drop in net worth, plummeting stock prices, and declining sales paint a bleak picture.

Or are there other factors at play, like increased competition from Chinese EV manufacturers and a general cooling of EV demand? Some argue that Musk’s “misguided strategic initiatives,” such as prioritizing the Cybertruck, are to blame. Where do you stand? Is this a temporary setback, or the beginning of Tesla’s decline? What does Musk need to do to regain consumer trust and market share? Is it time for him to step back from politics and refocus on innovation? Share your thoughts and predictions for the future of Tesla.
