Wall Street Analysts Sound Alarm Over Tesla's Future as Musk-Trump Clash Escalates
Tesla’s recent stock decline has raised red flags among Wall Street analysts, who cite growing concerns over CEO Elon Musk’s high-profile clash with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to a report by BlockBeats, the uncertainty triggered by this political-business standoff has prompted investors to sell off Tesla shares, raising doubts about the company’s near-term stability.
Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments, believes the ongoing feud has created a fog of uncertainty. “Investors don’t like unresolved conflicts,” said Sarhan. “If tensions continue to rise, Trump might ultimately come out on top, and that could severely impact Tesla’s bottom line.”
Sarhan also highlighted the company’s lofty valuation as a source of risk. “Tesla is still priced like a hyper-growth tech stock, even after the decline. That makes it a gamble under current circumstances.”
Analysts: Tesla’s Value Inseparable from Elon Musk’s Persona
Echoing Sarhan’s concerns, Wayne Kaufman, Chief Market Analyst at Phoenix Financial Services, emphasized Musk’s outsized influence on Tesla’s brand and valuation.
“Tesla’s stock often rides the wave of Musk’s reputation,” Kaufman explained. “When he’s viewed as a tech visionary, the stock soars. But when he’s entangled in controversy, it crashes. Right now, Musk is the controversy.”
Kaufman added that investors should brace for continued volatility, especially if the political dispute escalates further or affects Tesla’s government contracts and regulatory standing.
