A Morgan Stanley survey of 245 participants revealed that 85% of Tesla investors believe Elon Musk's political activities, including his role in the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are negatively impacting the company. Specifically, 45% of respondents described the impact as 'negative,' while 40% characterized it as 'extremely negative.' Meanwhile, 3% viewed the impact as positive, and 12% said it was insignificant. The survey also highlighted concerns about Tesla's business fundamentals, with the majority of respondents expecting a decline in vehicle deliveries for 2025, including a potential drop of over 10%. Tesla's stock has already dropped nearly 40% this year. However, Morgan Stanley noted that the survey respondents were not a random sample and may not represent Tesla shareholders broadly. Musk's growing political profile, including his support for President Trump and his efforts to cut federal spending, has drawn criticism for being overly aggressive. Musk himself acknowledged that his political role has made managing Tesla, SpaceX, and X more challenging. Trump has publicly supported Tesla, recently evaluating Tesla vehicles at the White House.
