Is Elon Musk's Politics Driving Buyers Away From Tesla? Expert Says 'Amazing Company...But Is Not Selling As Many Cars As It Used To'
Ben Smith, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Semafor, recently commented on how Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)CEO Elon Musk's political stance may be affecting the company's sales.
Semafor的創始人兼總編輯Ben Smith最近就特斯拉公司（NASDAQ：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的政治立場如何影響公司銷售發表了評論。
What Happened: On Wednesday, Smith shared his take on Tesla's sales during CNBC's "Last Call."
發生了什麼：週三，史密斯（Smith）在CNBC的“最後一通”節目中分享了他對特斯拉銷售的看法。
"It is an amazing company that sells a lot of cars, but is not selling as many cars as it used to," Smith said, adding that its competitors are faring better in the competitive and slow-to-grow EV industry.
“這是一家出售很多汽車的驚人公司，但它卻不像過去一樣多地銷售汽車，”史密斯說，補充說它的競爭對手在競爭激烈而增長緩慢的電動汽車行業中表現更好。
"He has polarized some people at least away from his brand."
“他至少讓某些人偏離了他的品牌。”

Why It Matters: Tesla's popularity has seen a decline, particularly among Democrats, following Musk's controversial social media posts and his apparent leaning toward Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Reports have indicated that Musk's relationship with the current administration has been contentious. Despite not endorsing Trump, Musk has expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden, whom he supported in the 2020 election.
爲什麼這很重要：特斯拉的受歡迎程度有所下降，尤其是在馬斯克的有爭議的社交媒體帖子和他明顯傾向於2024年總統選舉中的特朗普後，民主黨人中間的支持減少了。報告表明，馬斯克與現政府的關係一直緊張。儘管沒有公開支持特朗普，但馬斯克對被他在2020年大選中支持的喬·拜登總統的不滿進行了表達。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Tesla shares were trading 1.09% higher at $233.83 on Wednesday pre-market, according to Benzinga Pro.
