Tesla Struggles Raise Concerns About Musk's Leadership

Tesla sales dropped in Q1 2024, hurting investor confidence and raising concerns about Musk's leadership as a "part-time" CEO focused on other interests.

Musk appears more interested in political commentary and culture wars on Twitter than fixing Tesla's core business issues.

Some loyalists believe the feedback loop between Musk and the Tesla community is broken, with too much praise from "super fans."

Musk has failed to deliver on key promises like the $25K model, Semi truck, and next-gen batteries, pivoting AI and robots instead.

Investors and fans are split between supporting Musk unconditionally or wanting him to commit fully to Tesla's original environmental mission.
