It marks the return to political activism, which many Tesla investors hoped to be firmly behind them after the entrepreneur turbulent spell in the white house.
“Quite simply that Musk is deeper into politics and now tries to take over the Beltway establishment is exactly the opposite direction that Tesla investors/shareholders want for Tesla history in this decisive time,” warned the analyst of Wedbush Securities Tech, Dan Ives. “There is a broader feeling of exhaustion by many Tesla investors who keeps Musk on the political route.”
