Tesla's Remarkably Bad Quarter Is Even Worse Than It Looks
Briefly

Elon Musk has often succeeded in growing Tesla despite various self-inflicted setbacks. However, Tesla's recent first-quarter earnings report revealed a startling 71% drop in profits year-over-year. Musk's response to this setback included blaming organized protests linked to his controversial public persona and embrace of cryptocurrencies. He indicated a need to reduce his involvement in DOGE and refocus on Tesla to regain favor among electric vehicle enthusiasts, especially those who politically align against him. As supporters express concern, Musk's pivot is seen as critical for Tesla’s future stability.
