Tesla's stock slid 7.4% following Elon Musk's announcement of forming a new political party, the 'America Party,' which caused concerns about the impact on the company.
Investors are worried that Musk's involvement in politics is distracting him from focusing on Tesla, leading to a 28% decline in the stock value this year.
Musk's political ambitions and lack of details about the new party have raised questions among analysts, with some downgrading Tesla's rating and expressing concerns about his divided attention.
There are criticisms that Musk's political pursuits are overshadowing his responsibilities at Tesla, affecting shareholder confidence as the company faces challenges such as declining sales figures.
