Tesla: Investor Concerns Amid Political Ambitions

Musk's increasing political involvement is significantly impacting Tesla's stock performance and raising concerns among investors.

Stock Tumble: Following the announcement of "The America Party," Tesla shares tumbled by nearly 7%, losing over $68 billion in market capitalization in a single day. Since late 2024, Tesla's stock has declined by approximately 35%.
Sales Decline: The company reported a decline in electric vehicle sales in the second quarter of 2025 (over 13% compared to the same period last year), with European sales plunging nearly 50% in April despite overall growth in the region's EV market.
Investor Exhaustion: Analysts and major investors are expressing "exhaustion" and "broad concern" that Musk's deep dive into politics is distracting him from his responsibilities as CEO of Tesla during a crucial growth phase for the company, particularly concerning the development of autonomous driving technology.
Calls for Board Action: Investment firms and major shareholders are urging Tesla's board of directors to review Musk's political commitments, link his pay to a clear time commitment at Tesla, and potentially form a committee to monitor his political involvement.
