In 2024, Tesla saw its first decline in car sales in 12 years, possibly due to Elon Musk’s political activity. A study found that Tesla lost 1.26 million vehicle sales due to Musk’s support for Trump. While Tesla’s revenue and net income increased during this time, it still faced challenges in 2024.

Tesla’s sales saw fluctuations throughout the year, with a decrease in car sales in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Despite a spike in Q3 sales, likely due to a federal EV tax credit expiring, Tesla’s profits fell in 2024. The brand damage from politics may have impacted Tesla’s sales and revenue.

Following the 2024 election, Tesla shares rose 69% but may have been overvalued due to political factors. Analysts predict that Tesla could lose earnings due to government policies, affecting its stock value. While Tesla has diverse revenue streams, its high price-to-earnings ratio and uncertainty make it a risky investment.
