Tesla The yield report in the fourth quarter lands just over a week after President Donald Trump started his second term in the White House, and Elon Musk right by his side.
After the CEO of Tesla in Washington, DC, is planted in a top -class consulting role, the shareholders of the electric vehicle manufacturer have some questions.
In the forum, Tesla uses to ask for investor inquiries before his profit calls, more than 100 from the shareholders about Musk's politics, including his official role in the Trump Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) and his support for right-wing candidates.
“How much time is Elon Musk devoted to the cultivation of Tesla, the solution of product problems and the chair of Shareholder Value towards his public engagements with Trump, Doge and political activities?” A retail investor asked and added: “Do you think that he will provide Tesla the focus it needs?”
Musk was not just 270 million US dollars to support Trump and other Republican candidates and founded, but spent weeks on the campaign path in the fourth quarter to drive Trump back into the White House. After Trump's election victory, Musk spent a lot of time, far from Tesla's factory floor in the Mar-A-Lago resort of Trump in Florida.
One of the most important questions about Musk asked how much time he “wants to spend in the White House and the activities of the government compared to time and effort that Tesla is devoted to.
Musk and Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
Musk also took part in German politics and a complete confirmation of the extreme right-wing anti-immigrant party of the country (alternative for Germany) in December before the elections in February.
According to the brand financing of the research and advisory company, the value of the Tesla brand decreased by 26% last year, with factors such as Musk's “antagonism”, Teslas aging lineup of EVS and much more. The researchers found that fewer consumers would now buy or consider a Tesla than in previous years.
During the public comments after the inauguration of the past week, Musk repeatedly used a gesture that many historians and politicians viewed as a Nazi greeting. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, whose science has focused on fascism, described it as “a Nazi greeting and a very warlike”, while neo-Nazi's musk praised for his antics.
A Say shareholder asked: “Will you apologize for the misunderstanding that has occurred when you made the hand gestures for your support for your support. . Thank you in advance, Elon! “
In response to the criticism, Musk said that everyone who calls the greeting a hatred gesture urged a “joke”. After that, however, he dealt with the national pun on X, which caused the anti-defamation league to blame him, and it is “inappropriate and insulting to make the light of the” singular evil “Holocaust. And later musk appeared by video at a rally for the AfD in Halle.
Some investors asked whether Tesla had “lost sales through Elon's political activities”, as the company plans to react to Musz's notorious Nazi greeting, “and how Tesla” appeals to the negative effects of Elon's public views and activities ” .
However, Tesla is not obliged to bring one of these topics to the profit call. Before calling the third quarter in October, investors had many questions and concerns about similar topics in relation to Musk's participation in politics, although this was before Trump's election victory.
Trump was never mentioned on this call.
