, has found it difficult to distance himself from political involvement, despite the potential harm it could cause to his company. Musk's political activities have been a source of concern for investors, who are eager for him to focus on reviving Tesla's sales and transforming the electric vehicle company into an artificial intelligence giant.

Tesla is expected to report a decline in global sales for the second quarter in a row.

Investors had hoped that Musk's influence in the White House would outweigh the backlash from Tesla's liberal customer base. However, the recent breakdown in Musk and Trump's relationship has raised concerns that Trump may directly target Tesla for retaliation.
