Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has urged Tesla's board of directors to establish formal boundaries around CEO Elon Musk's political activities, warning that Musk's increasing involvement in Washington could pose risks to the company's future. Ives called for the board to act promptly to limit Musk's time spent on politics and address concerns related to his pay and time management. These recommendations come amid Musk's recent announcement of plans to form a new political entity called the America Party. In response to Ives's proposals, Musk publicly dismissed the analyst's suggestions with a direct message on the social media platform X, telling Ives to "shut up." Despite this exchange, some investors remain bullish on Tesla, viewing the recent stock sell-off as overdone and emphasizing the company's critical growth phase driven by advancements in autonomous driving and robotics.
