These days, Tesla investors would probably like to be thinking about EV sales, robo-taxis, or anything else besides politics.

Dan Ives, an analyst with Wedbush, wrote that Musk's continued push into politics is "exactly the opposite direction" investors want to see.

Trump, making his first comments on Musk’s criticism of his bill during an Oval Office press conference, insinuated the Tesla CEO opposes his “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” because he is “upset” the electric vehicle tax credit was removed, adding he’s not sure he’ll remain friends with Musk and alleging Musk “knew the inner workings of the bill.”
