He's not thrilled, y'all. Expert Advice Amid Tesla's latest CEO-flavored downturn, Elon Musk is now hurling insults at a prominent stock analyst. Earlier in the day, Wedbush analyst and Tesla fan Dan Ives posted on X with a few stark but reasonable recommendations to keep the electric vehicle company afloat and its investors happy to boot. Those suggestions — a new pay package, an xAI merger, and oversight on how much time Musk spends at Tesla and his outside "political endeavors" — clearly

Tesla Is in Serious Trouble in China

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-03 17:07:55

As its sales continue to crater in the US and Europe, Tesla's reliance on China — its second-largest market and biggest production hub — is growing. But thanks to a surge in far more price-competitive and lucrative offerings from Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD, Tesla's woes look poised to metastasize there as well. Its market share in China is shrinking, the Wall Street Journal reports, which could represent yet another nail in Elon Musk's carmaker's coffin. The company sold 40,000 fewer ca
