Tesla is set to report earnings Tuesday afternoon in what analysts are calling a “moment of truth” for CEO Elon Musk, according to NBC News. The company faces mounting brand damage, stock volatility, and political backlash as Musk dedicates time to Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. Musk was once Tesla’s biggest asset and is now seen by many investors and analysts as a liability. Over the past year, Musk has pushed Tesla toward new ventures like the Cybercab autonomous vehicle and the Optimus humanoid robot. Neither product has launched, and Wall Street remains skeptical about their potential success.
