While Elon Musk certainly has no danger to fight the end, his wealth has achieved great success in recent months.
For example, Musk recently lost 29 billion US dollars on a single day after Tesla’s shares, its manufacturer of electric vehicles, and 15 percent on Monday, the worst day of the stock price in September 2020.
The company’s market value has dropped by 45 percent since it reached an all -time high of 1.5 trillion dollars on December 17, 2024. And on March 11th, according to the Bloomberg Milliardaires Index, this led to the fact that 126 billion US dollars have been shaved by Musk’s personal prosperity since the beginning of this year, no insignificant amount despite its massive financial participation.
Some analysts say that it is an indication that Musks have controversial comments, his connection to US President Donald Trump and his new, time-consuming role of the US German Coranto Slasher a significant impact on his personal wealth.
“White-ankle period”
“Tesla, like this one, has an impact. This is the heart and lung of the Musk ecosystem,” said Dan Ives, financial analyst of Wedbus Securities, in an interview with CBC News.
“Did it affect Musk every day? No. Does it send a signal to Musk, the (Tesla) board member? Yes.”
This signal, according to Ives, is that Musk, who owns around 13 percent of Tesla, has to find his role as CEO of Tesla.
“It’s definitely a white ankle period,” he said. “It is a moment of truth for musk.”
The growing opposition to Elon Musk’s politics and his role in the US government caught Tesla owners in the middle, and some said that it was embarrassing to support a nutmeg brand.
Analysts say that Tesla’s share of share share is at least partially due to the increased competition, which he is confronted with from competing electric vehicles, especially China. The turnover of 12 percent in California, its largest market, had dropped considerably in Europe. In Germany, for example, sales in February decreased by 76 percent.
Last year, Tesla recorded a total sales decline by one percent, the first decline in more than a decade.
Part of this decline can be attributed to operational challenges – the anticipation of new models and refreshing the Tesla model and together with inventory management – Financial Monthly reported this month.
Ives added that the lukewarm demand for EVS was also a problem.
But Anthony Sasine, Senior Investment Strategist at the investment company Kraneshares based in New York, said CNBC recently in an interview that he believed that Tesla’s shares were falling from Mousk due to a “series of misguided strategic initiatives”.
This included a focus on cyberruck and not on other cheaper Tesla cars as well as the “commitment of Musk in politics and the counter -reaction of investors and buyers in the USA and in Europe”.
In a report last month, brand financing of brand assessment companies was determined that the brand value of Tesla had dropped by 26 percent due to the “lack of sales expectations, increased competition in the EV sector and price reductions in the most important markets, especially in China.
Mushing under fire
However, the scores also went to measures, including a call and recommendation.
Musk has attracted controversy for his comments on X, the social media platform he has, which was previously referred to as Twitter, together with his support from Trump and right-wing right-wing candidates around the world. In the meantime, because of his role in the Slash-and-of Government Downsizing efforts by the Trump government, which referred to as Department of Government Efficiency or Doge, he was exposed to setbacks.
Tesla vehicle boycotte, demonstrators in the US exhibition rooms and even the vandalization of Teslas on the street are proof that Musk’s company has become a symbol of Trump and Dog, which ultimately injures it, said Ives.
“Tesla is a synonym for Musk. Musk is a synonym for Tesla. The brand erosion is a problem,” he said.
Many core customers of Tesla are usually democrats on both coasts, said Ives. “The last thing you want is Tesla, who is connected to Donald Trump, Maga.
This could prove to be difficult after Trump was sitting on Tuesday at the driver’s seat of a Red Model -Tesla vehicle. When the vehicle drove on the entrance of the White House. This took place after the president had posted on his own social media platform the evening before that he would buy a new Tesla.
“Elon Musk” puts it into play “to help our nation and he does a fantastic job!” Trump wrote in a contribution about the social truth. “Tomorrow morning I will buy a brand new Tesla as a trust exhibition and support for Elon Musk, a really great American.”
Instead of concentrating on the innovation and growth of Tesla, Musk has become a polarizing personality that alienates important international markets Newsweek.
“If he had initiated his energy in space research and technological advances instead of politics, we may already see breakthroughs that benefit humanity instead of stock returns and brand damage,” she said.
Muschus even richer than Bezos
But it is not all bad news for Musk who also has the rocket manufacturer Space X. According to Bloomberg Millionaires Index, he still retains the title of the richest person in the world with a total networks of $ 307 billion.
The Amazon founder Jeff Bezos becomes second with a net assets of 218 billion US dollars.
The US federal employees were instructed to justify their work this weekend by submitting five list signs for their achievements from the past week or having a termination. In the initiative conducted by Elon Musk and his team of the Ministry of Government Efficiency (Doge), republican support, democratic opposition and warnings of legal challenges.
Despite the drop in stocks, Tesla’s market value is currently over 700 million US dollars on the stock exchange, which still makes it the most valuable car manufacturer in the word. It combines the next nine most important large car manufacturers, which together sold around 44 million cars last year, compared to 1.8 million of Tesla.
The Tesla model Y was also the best-selling vehicle for 2024.
In a recent interview with FOX Business, Musk admitted that he managed his business “with great difficulty”.
But IVES says that muscle, in order to contain the damage, has to include more in the company, that he has to appear in a Tesla factory or a showroom and not only have to be in the White House or in Mar-A-Lago.
“He has to show that he is the pilot on the plane and does not sleep at the wheel.”
