  • Billionaire Elon Musk made huge waves ahead of last year's election when he plowed millions of dollars into President Donald Trump's re-election campaign.

The article from KOMO News discusses how Tesla's business challenges extend beyond Elon Musk's controversial political statements and actions. It highlights several issues including a significant recall of over 362,000 vehicles due to concerns with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, which could potentially cause accidents. Additionally, Tesla faces declining demand, increased competition in the electric vehicle market, and production hiccups with new models like the Cybertruck. The company's stock has also seen a sharp decline, dropping nearly 70% from its peak in November 2021.
