Tesla’s stock price has continued to slide as CEO Elon Musk becomes more involved in political issues. Recently, Musk’s decision to buyout Twitter and his comments about Dr. Anthony Fauci’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic have sparked controversy and could be contributing to the drop in Tesla’s stock value.
Furthermore, the release of Twitter files detailing the events leading up to former President Trump’s ban and account suspension has also caused concern among investors. Many believe that Musk’s involvement in these political issues is distracting from his role as CEO of Tesla and impacting the company’s performance.

Despite this, Musk has remained steadfast in his support of certain political causes and his use of Twitter to express his opinions, saying “noting else matters, if woke virus is not defeated”. He has defended his decision to buyout Twitter, stating that he believes the platform is an important tool for free speech and that he intends to improve its functionality and security.

However, some critics argue that Musk’s actions and comments are undermining the work of public health officials and potentially harming the fight against COVID-19. They also worry that his involvement in politics could hurt Tesla’s brand and damage its relationships with customers and business partners.

With the new EV tax credits set to start in 2023, it is possible that Tesla’s stock price will recover as the company’s financial performance improves with more orders for its electric vehicles unless it get’s cancelled and lead to a lot of order cancellations.
Overall, it remains to be seen how Musk’s increasing political activity will affect Tesla’s stock price and the company’s future. Many investors and analysts are closely watching the situation and waiting to see how it will impact the electric car maker.
