Is Musk's Politics Killing Tesla? Sales Slump and Protests Surge 

Is Musk’s political involvement tanking Tesla? Recent polls show dwindling Democrat interest in the brand, coinciding with Musk's prominent role in the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While some analysts blame DOGE-related protests and vandalism for Tesla's declining sales, others point to increased competition and market saturation. Could this be a strategic opportunity for Tesla to tap into a new conservative customer base, or will alienating a core demographic ultimately backfire? What impact will a potential return to a more Tesla-focused Musk have on the company’s future? Share your thoughts on the interplay of politics, brand image, and market performance in Tesla's current predicament. Is this a temporary slump or a sign of deeper trouble? Is Tesla’s long-term viability at stake?
