Veteran tech analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush said Musk was Tesla’s “biggest asset” and his decision to dive deeper into politics would likely put the company’s shares under pressure.
“Tesla needs Musk as CEO and its biggest asset and not heading down the political route yet again…while at the same time getting on Trump’s bad side,” Ives said in a note on Sunday.
“It would also not shock us if the Tesla board gets involved at some point given the political nature of this endeavour depending on how far Musk takes it.”
Trump on Sunday called Musk’s plans to form the “America Party” ” ridiculous ,” launching new barbs at the tech billionaire and saying the Musk ally he once named to lead NASA would have presented a conflict of interest given Musk’s business interests in space.
