Tesla's shares dropped after Elon Musk announced plans to form a political party called the America Party, raising concerns about his commitment to leading his companies.
Musk's political involvement follows Tesla's consecutive quarter of declining sales, contributing to a 27% stock drop this year and 35% decrease since December.
Analysts express concern over Musk's political engagements, with some fearing possible negative impacts on Tesla's growth and investor sentiment.
Speculation arises about Tesla's board potentially intervening to address Musk's distractions from the core business focus amid ongoing challenges faced by the company.
