It seems increasingly obvious that #elonmusk needs to step away from #tesla, either with or without the encouragement of the Tesla board. And the sooner he does it, the better.
There are many ways that SpaceX and Starlink and Twitter benefit from Musk's Doge antics, from additional multi-billion dollar contracts, to removal of irritating regulations and oversight and cancellation of investigations. Yet Tesla is instead suffering from tariffs of metal imports, and the products simply don't appeal to Maga fans and Doge fans. Tesla's "high value, green energy products" just don't fit with Musk's new world view in the same way that Twitter does.
There are also some people who are upset with Doge's callous treatment of poor and vulnerable people, or of honest government workers, or with the rampant illegality and disdain for the constitution, and these people are increasingly mobilising to protest. And because Musk has made himself the chainsaw-wielding, shrieking mascot of contempt, these protests are forming around Tesla dealerships. They can't protest in a secure SpaceX or Starlink facility. From the polls, Musk and Doge are directly contributing to drastically reduced Tesla sales, lowering second-hand prices, falling stock values, and cancelled leases.
Musk has said it is only "with great difficulty" that he is spending time on non-Doge activities, which means one of two things will happen. Either Musk's Doge efforts are temporary and he returns to making cars, if that's _really_ what he wants to focus on now that the number of competitors has exploded. Or he steps away from Tesla, for his own and for Tesla's benefit, and concentrates on what really motivates him.
