# $Tesla(TSLA.US)Dan Ives calls it Code Red for a reason: Musk’s political wayang is nuking the brand.

$Tesla(TSLA.US)Dan Ives calls it Code Red for a reason: Musk’s political wayang is nuking the brand. Tesla’s margins already kena tekan until like prata dough. Worse, Zack Nelson’s Model X now worth 20%⬇️ Elon promised ” appreciating asset“—now become scrap metal joke. Big Tech under Trump’s tariffs, and TSLA stuck in crossfire. Bulls keep shouting ” FSD future,“ but where’s the $$$? No dividend, no buyback, just hype. I’m selling before Q2 earnings turn this sampan into submarine.
