Timing He faces tremendous challenges in an attempt to return to the right track after the catastrophic first quarter. These opposite winds were greatly strengthened this week.
CEO Elon Musk has officially concluded his term with the Trump administration at the end of May, when he reached a mark of 130 days, the maximum time allowed for a “private government employee”. On his way out of the door, Musk expressed a sharp criticism of Trump’s signing Spending a draft law discussed in Congress because of its expected impact on national debt.
What started as a political disagreement that quickly escalated into a comprehensive online fight, where MUSK and President Donald Trump throw other insults from their social media platforms. After Musk called “One, Big Beauty Bill” “abomination” and mobilized his followers on X to “killing the bill”, Trump said Musk became “crazy” and threatened to end government contracts and cut support to Musk companies. Musk replied, “Go ahead, make my day.”
RIFT sent the shares of Tesla, which decreased by 14 % on Thursday, with a value of about 152 billion dollars, and the most on any day in the company’s history for 15 years in the public market. While Musk is still the richest person in the world on paper, his net wealth has decreased by $ 34 billion, according to the Bloomberg’s Billionails.
More importantly, the dispute led to the collapse of the relationship that mixes works, politics and power in an unprecedented way in the history of the United States. The repercussions on Tesla, which fell from a trillion dollar club on Thursday, can be severe, not only because Trump is considering selling or giving up the red model that was bought in March after converting the white grass to the Tesla showroom.
A senior White House official told NBC News on Friday that the president was “not interested” in making a call with Musk to resolve their hostility.

IRE from the Trump administration can affect everything from future organization, investigations and government support to Tesla, to decisions on customs tariff exemptions that the company seeks to buy in order to purchase Chinese Chinese manufacturing equipment.
Tesla’s shares were poorly low in the wider market before disintegration of musk. Revenue decreased by 9 % in the first quarter of the previous year, with car revenues decreased by 20 %, due to a mixture of increasing competition from low -cost EV makers in China and a reversal reaction to Trump’s political and rhetoric activities.
Certainly, Tesla’s shareholders expect, when they sent the shares about 30 % in the days after Trump’s election victory in November. After spending nearly $ 300 million to return Trump to the White House, musk was ready for a major role in management and was in a position that allowed him to organizational changes in ways that benefited from his companies.
Instead, his company suffered, and musk behavior greatly bears responsibility.
One of his most stimulating actions in the leadership management management of the Trump Administration (DOGE) was the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development, which has previously provided billions of dollars of food and medicine to more than 100 countries.
Besides the United States, Musk supported the far -right -wing extremist party AFD, and gave a gesture that many considered a Nazi greeting in the inauguration gathering.
In response, in recent months, there have been many sabotage or burning of Tesla facilities or vehicles in the United States, as well as waves of peaceful protests in Tesla stores and service centers in North America and Europe.
Ads appeared in protest against Musk in the Times Square in the New York, and in the bus shelters in London, and urged people to province Tesla, some of which are called EVS for the company “Swasticars”. Vancouver International Auto removed Tesla from the list of exhibitors for fear of the company’s presence that would cause safety problems.
Moreover, President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which led to fears that the costs will increase for the essing parts and materials for the production of EV. In the profit report in the first quarter in April, Tesla refrained from promising growth this year and said it “would reconsider our 2025 instructions in our Q2 update.”
The council is my mother
The retirement pension funds that invest in Tesla said that the “crisis” in the company requires at least 40 hours a week to focus on solving its problems.
Public officials are chanting these feelings, and they call the Tesla Council to take action.
“The Battle of the School Square” between Trump and Moses highlights how “weakness measures in Tesla and the weakness of the government are not only for the financial stability of the company and the value of shareholders, but also the future of local EV production.”
Brock Lehman, Maryland Observer, told CNBC that the company’s board of directors “does not do its work to ensure the presence of the CEO of Tesla puts the interests of the company first.”
She added that the name Musk is synonymous with Tesla, the council needs to make sure that Tesla can stand alone regardless of who is leading the company.
“Musk behavior continues to threaten the future of Tesla,” said Lerman. “As long as Tesla has been identified with Elon Musk and is still a polarization figure, he will continue to damage the brand, which is a large part of the value of Tesla.”
Musk did not respond to a request for comment. CNBC has also continued to comment on the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Robin Dunholm, managers and executives working in government relations and in the CEO’s office. None of them wanted from the time of publication.
Elon Musk’s interviews on CNBC from Tesla headquarters in Texas.
CNBC
Tesla investors focus on business basics.
The company failed to offer new innovative EVS at reasonable prices, while Chinese competitors such as BYD have flooded the market, especially in Europe.
Analysts indicated that European sales witnessed a 50 % decrease year on April and a decrease in May. China sales of these two months decreased about 20 % from the previous year.
Quality is also a problem. Tesla has announced eight voluntary calls for Cybertruck in 15 months due to a set of problems including program errors and speedy pedals.
Robotaxi ready?
Musk urges investors to ignore basic business to a large extent and look at the future, which he says is about independent compounds and human robots.
But even there, beyond. In AVS, the company abdicated the land alphabet Waymo, which operates Robotaxi commercial services in many American markets. After a decade of the missing deadlines, MUSK promised a small launch of an infiltration service in Austin this month.
In an interview with him recently with David Fabc from CNBC, it will start with a small fleet of 10 to 20 CNBC vehicles, and will start with a small fleet from 10 to 20 Yi -style vehicles with full -time driving technology (FSD) technology. If things go well, MUSK said, Tesla will try to expand its driver without driver to other markets such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.

What consumers will not see any time soon is Cybercab and Robovan compounds that Tesla described at the “Webot” event last year to confirm the enthusiasm of customers and investor.
On Friday, Milan Kovak, Vice President of Tesla, announced to Optimus Robotics, that he would leave after joining the company in 2016. Musk thanked him for his “distinguished contribution” in a post on X.
However, there is a lot of Tesla Bulls and Musk Fans who are believers in the CEO. Wearing the arrow by 4 % on Friday is a sign that some have seen an opportunity to buy DIP.
“I think the real story here is the base of investors in Tesla literally,” Josh Braun, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and CNBC Pro, told CNBC. “This still does not matter the stocks.”
Tom Lee of Fundstrat said Seloff Tesla was “Overdone”.
Tesla market cover, which is greatly enlarged for every other American car maker, is based on the Musk vision of Tesla Humanoid robots that do the work of the factory and meet our children, while self -driving Cybercabs and Robovans earn money around passengers.
Adam Jonas from Morgan Stanley wrote in this week’s memo, “Tesla still holds a lot of valuable cards that are largely non -political,” noting what the company’s “artificial intelligence leadership”, independence/robots, manufacturing, supply chain, renewable power, [and] Critical infrastructure. “
Regarding the current Tesla works, the most urgent effect of what is happening in Washington, DC, is the decline in EV credits on the current budget bill that Musk opposes loudly and this is struggling to find adequate support in the Senate. There is also the issue of definitions and whether Tesla is able to get a preferred treatment, a suggestion that appears increasingly unlikely with the repercussions of Musk-TROP.
Matthew Labrot, the former TESLA staff director, told CNBC that he was not surprised that Musk had detonated his relationship with the president. Bebrot was completed earlier this year after sending an open speech in protest against division political activity.
“I have been destroyed for the country and the climate, although Elon only bears responsibility,” Labrot said in an interview. “Return to a loose law, expects a thorny ecclesiastical fire.”
Tesla investors currently cannot now return from Musk’s energy and his time now to his only public company, and the work responsible for the vast majority of his wealth. Even without politics, he still has Spacex, Ai Startup Xai and Brain Tech Startup Neuralink, among other works.
As of Thursday, Musk still has a West Wing office that has not been cleaned, according to the administration officials told NBC News. One of the officials said that the space is likely to be filled in the coming days.
While his time ended in Trump camp, Musk called on his followers to form a new party in the United States
“Is it time to create a new political party in America that already represents 80 % in the middle?” He wrote on Thursday on Thursday, in a publication now installed at the top of his page. According to the position, 80 % of 5.6 million respondents for unofficial reconnaissance “yes” said.
Musk’s actions this week may have caused a permanent dispute with the president. But there is one clear thing – its company cannot stay away from the White House.
