Tesla is stuck between its duty to make good business decisions and its desire not to earn the ire of its vindictive CEO.
In a recent development reported by Electrek on April 22, 2025, Tesla's board of directors has once again urged CEO Elon Musk to refrain from engaging in political discussions and controversies, emphasizing that such activities detract from the company's focus on electric vehicle production and innovation. The board's renewed call for Musk to "knock it off with the politics nonsense" comes amid concerns that his frequent political statements and social media posts are negatively impacting Tesla's brand and stock performance. Despite previous warnings, Musk's continued involvement in political debates has led to increased scrutiny and pressure from shareholders and the board to prioritize the company's core mission and business objectives.
