Tesla faces a serious crisis, Ives urges focus

economictimes.indiatimes.com — March 21, 2025 at 06:01 PM UTC

Top analyst Dan Ives is sounding the alarm about Tesla’s current situation. He says CEO Elon Musk needs to refocus on leading the company as it faces serious challenges. Ives warns that Musk's involvement in politics is hurting Tesla's image and that immediate action is needed. Ives describes the situation as a “brand tornado crisis moment” for both Musk and Tesla. He believes that investor frustration has reached a boiling point. Earlier this month, Tesla lost $127 billion in market value. Along with this, the company is dealing with more competition from electric vehicle makers in China. Musk’s ties to former President Donald Trump have led to protests and vandalism against Tesla vehicles. The stock has not fared well either, dropping around 4.5% this week. Ives emphasizes that Tesla's identity is closely tied to Musk, and only he can help steer the company back on course. Ives suggests that Musk should step away from distractions like Dogecoin (DOGE) to truly lead Tesla. He encourages Musk to work on producing lower-cost vehicles and improving self-driving technology. If he can do this, Ives believes the negative attention will fade.
