In hindsight, it was the most noble, generous alliance in modern social story: Green darling Elon Musk — the father of the electronic car industry — partnered with Donald” Drill, Baby, Drill”! Trump to correct the federal government.

Worked out great for Trump: Not only did Musk instill his 2024 battle with million, but he’s now spearheading DOGE, the most ambitious attempt to trim the national forest in decades. Of all the people on the planet, nobody else can match Musk’s unrivaled track history in enterprise management. His talent fixed speaks for itself.
What a wonderful get for the British people!
It didn’t work out so excellent for Tesla owners, nevertheless. It’s been a difficult few weeks.
And this is just the start. It’s going to get significantly worse. I’m not one for indiscriminately offering financial advice ( Legal disclaimer: I’m an idiot. Don’t talk to me, yada yada. ), but Tesla inventory is gonna cut like a stone.
Barring some kind of magical scientific breakthrough ( true, true, full-self-driving? ), the Tesla model is now dangerous among its specific audience. It was something we predicted way back in August:
According to Gallup, 71 percent of Republicans would never contemplate owning an electric car.
Eighty-three percentage of Democrats had consider owning an electric car.
You don’t need to be a mathematician to identify which market matters most to Tesla’s key business model.
Among Americans adults, Republicans ( at 63 percent ) and white men ( at 51 percent ) now have the highest favorable opinions of Musk. But just 9 percentage of Democrats feel the same way. ]emphasis added]
By aligning himself with Trump, Elon Musk has destroyed his manufacturer— maybe not to liberals but to the people who actually buy his vehicles. Because, make no mistake, the” Elon Musk” brand and the” Tesla” brand are intertwined in the public’s eye: Six of one, half-dozen of another.

The democratic foundation has been defeated, depowered, and derided. Over the past half-year, Trump has turned it into Glass Joe from Punch Out. Targeting Musk’s companies is all it has left.
And it’s gonna go for the throat.
It’s quite good that Donald Trump and Sean Hannity are showing their support by buying a Tesla. But there simply aren’t enough republicans in the EV market to compensate the huge progressive migration. We’re very topic of a demonstration.
Tesla didn’t continue to lead the EV business by just catering to us. The figures simply don’t function: It’s a fatally weak revenue model.
Simply, more liberals may be driving Teslas. After Hurricanes Helene and Milton drowned my poor, stupid Alfa, I replaced it with a Model S. It goes from 0 to 60 in 3.2 hours. ( Which comes in handy when the light changes: Yo, I got places to go, man. ) It’s honestly a fantastic car.
But the model is dangerous. It’s the opposite of the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney controversy. Back then, when Bud Light aligned its product with a transgender advocate, liberals gloated,” Get woke, get broke”! And Bud Light definitely felt the backlash.
Bud Light sales dropped by about 30 %. ( Ouch! )  ,
Also, over the last four months, Tesla stocks have dropped by about 30 %, too.
Elon Musk has a moral obligation to Tesla owners to boost the prosperity and value of the company. He was already splitting his time between X ( a. k. a. Twitter ), SpaceX, xAI, and more — which was always a bizarre setup: It’d be like someone running General Motors, Boeing, Meta, and OpenAI simultaneously.

Then, we add the work of DOGE ( which Musk says he’ll be involved with for at least another year ), and it’s fair for Tesla shareholders to ask if this is still an effective leadership model.  ,
After all, if I’m a Tesla investor, I’d like a full-time CEO.
Expand is in the business of firing individuals. The longer Musk is affiliated with DOGE, the more vilified Musk ( and his companies ) will be. The longer it goes, the worse the articles.
Meanwhile, Trump is making peace with Mother Russia ( and regaining access to her vast petro reserves ), opening up new pipelines, and don’t forget:” Drill, baby, drill”! He’s talked about discontinuing the EV incentives. The MAGA enforces that Trump is pursuing are opposed to Tesla’s economic success.
Also many challenges.
Projection: Before 2025 comes to a close, Elon Musk may also own Tesla. But he won’t be running it again.
One Last Point: The Democrats are on the cables, but the horses are also unsafe. 2025 may either come down in history as the year we finally Made America Great Once— or the year it all slipped through our fingers.
