Tesla, the electric car giant, is facing a tough time. The company's recent financial report showed that sales and profits didn't meet what experts had predicted. This news has investors worried, especially because Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has been busy with other projects.

One of the main issues is Musk's involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Many investors and analysts want to know when Musk will focus more on Tesla. They hope he will spend less time on DOGE and politics. Some investors have even asked Musk directly to reassure them that he will return his attention to Tesla's engineering and innovation.

Musk's work with DOGE has caused some problems. It has upset some customers and led to protests around the world. This has hurt Tesla's stock price, which has dropped a lot since December. The company's stock has fallen 53% from its highest point last December. This drop happened after President Trump's win, when people thought Musk's advice to Trump would help Tesla.

Tesla's latest financial results were not good. The company made less money than expected. Its net income dropped by 71% compared to the same time last year. Sales also fell by 9%, which was much less than what analysts had predicted. This has made some people think that Tesla's future might be uncertain.

Tesla's connection to the Trump administration has also affected its sales. Some people don't want to buy Tesla cars because they don't want to be associated with Musk's political activities. This could lead to a big drop in demand for Tesla vehicles.

Investors are also interested in Tesla's future plans. The company is working on a cheaper version of its popular Model Y SUV. It is also planning to start a driverless robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. These initiatives could help Tesla in the long run, but some people are still worried about the company's current situation.

Tesla's stock has fallen a lot this year, and it was mostly unchanged after the recent financial report. This shows that investors are unsure about the company's future. Some people think that Musk's personal brand has been hurt by his political activities, and that this could affect Tesla's stock price.
