The Tesla Forums

Is Tesla's association with Trump a calculated risk or a road to ruin? The recent stock plunge and sales slump certainly suggest a correlation, but is it causation? Are consumers truly that politically polarized, willing to abandon a preferred brand due to the CEO's political affiliations? Or are there other factors at play, like increased competition and market saturation, that are being conveniently overlooked? Trump's proclaimed intent to purchase a Tesla – is this a genuine gesture of support or a publicity stunt designed to manipulate the market? Furthermore, with Musk juggling Tesla, SpaceX, X, and his controversial role in government downsizing, is he spreading himself too thin? Is his divided attention ultimately detrimental to Tesla's success? Let's discuss the future of Tesla in this volatile political and economic landscape. What are your predictions?
