Those who invest in shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) know that they are signed up for one of the wildest roller coaster rides in the stock market today, not only because the stock has been historically volatile but also because the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, is starting to get involved in other areas that could potentially turn his attention away from what needs to be done to secure Tesla’s leadership and future.
As most are aware, Musk has resigned from his role in a special government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, for short). While the intentions were good regarding the type of work this agency was to accomplish, disagreements between Musk and President Trump have driven two opposing views to a volatile week in Tesla stock, leaving some shareholders to incur losses as collateral damage.
