Tesla's shine faded: Musk in criticism and winning in the collapse!

Grünheide, Deutschland - Elon Musk remains the richest man in the world, but the shine of Tesla fades. The once proud brand has lost considerable reputation. Today, many Tesla drivers from stickers report with the provocative saying: "I bought it before Elon went crazy", which reflects the profound disappointment about the development of the company. Fr.de emphasizes that the connection between musk and right-wing extremist parties as well as conspiracy fanatic is seen particularly critically.

The sales figures in Europe have dropped drastically - by more than 70 percent. This is a wake -up call for Tesla that has not launched a new product for years. While the Tesla Roadster was introduced in 2008 for $ 100,000 with a range of 300 kilometers, the Model S and the more affordable model X were followed by the development.

financial difficulties and negative effects

In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla not only recorded a decline in deliveries by 13 percent, but also a dramatic loss of profit of 71 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. Analysts such as Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities call the situation "alarm level red", whereby it is expected that the loss of image could permanently push demand by 15 to 20 percent. Musk himself indicates the setback through his political engagement for Donald Trump, who cost Tesla valuable resources and attention. zdf.de reports that Musk plans to withdraw from government work.

In addition, external factors such as the possible abolition of support programs for electric cars and high tariffs have significantly tightened the Tesla business environment for exports from the USA. These regulations could endanger the sales of electric cars in the United States, while the competition is increasing from European and Chinese manufacturers. rbb24.de emphasizes that German manufacturers in particular are facing major challenges and the Tesla-gigafactory in Grünheide potential is endangered.

an uncertain view

The Tesla brand is strongly connected to Elon Musk, which made a separation appear to be unbelievable. Critics warn of the negative associations that result from Musk's statements and his political influence. These could significantly affect the sales of the products. Despite a slight increase in the share price due to Musk's announcement to return to Tesla, the long -term success of the company remains questionable.
