20 years to build Tesla’s image of excellence and innovation, but only a few days to destroy it.

DOGE, the “Department of Government Efficiency,” which he leads under the Trump administration. Musk even goes so far as to accuse his opponents of being terrorists. More than resolving the issue, this statement only highlights the scale of the problem and the growing gap between Tesla and its customers.

This drift into intolerable violence is all the more regrettable since Tesla vehicles remain models of efficiency and design, revolutionizing the automotive industry while promoting energy transition. Even with the harshest criticisms, it’s impossible not to acknowledge the qualities of the new Model Y or the stunning performance of the Model S Plaid. Teslas are fantastic cars, offered at highly competitive prices. So, there should be no problem even if Elon Musk makes mistakes!

A car must be neutral to be popular

The purchase of a car is based on various motivations: technical performance, design, social status, or simply the need to get around. But for most consumers, a vehicle must remain neutral. A car that becomes a symbol of political ideologies divides and polarizes. When Elon Musk claims that Tesla cars are burned to harm him personally, he reinforces this association between himself and the brand, risking making it a target.

This situation highlights an obvious fact. Elon Musk needs to distance himself from Tesla to protect the future of the brand. His extreme political involvement tarnishes the company’s image, which was once praised for its ability to push the boundaries of technological innovation and embody a more sustainable future. Today, Tesla’s name is more associated with controversies than with advancements in electric mobility.

To help Tesla regain its stature, Musk must separate his personal ambitions from the brand. The company needs to refocus on its fundamentals: innovate, offer quality products, and meet customer expectations. By turning the page on political turbulence, Tesla could regain the admiration it once inspired and once again establish itself as an undisputed leader in future mobility.
