Elon Musk dan Tesla Hadapi Persimpangan Penting: Bisnis atau Politik?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is at a critical juncture as the company prepares to report its quarterly earnings. His significant involvement in the Trump administration has led to a decline in Tesla's stock and brand reputation. Many investors are urging Musk to focus more on his corporate responsibilities at Tesla, SpaceX, and his other companies. Tesla's stock price has dropped significantly since Musk's political involvement became clear, and the company has faced protests and declining vehicle deliveries. Experts like Daniel Ives and Allen Adamson believe that Musk's political activities are damaging Tesla's future and brand. The company's total market cap remains just above Rp 11.69 juta ($700) billion, but its stock is down more than 50% from its December peak. Tesla has launched only one new consumer vehicle since 2020, the Cybertruck, which isn't widely popular. The company is also exploring new lines of business, such as the Cybercab autonomous vehicle and a potential robotic humanoid called Optimus. However, some analysts believe these projects are distractions from the company's fundamentals.
