Elon Musk's leadership at Tesla faces significant challenges as protests and political controversies arise. His recent alignment with Donald Trump has drawn criticism, especially as sales plummet globally.

In Germany, Tesla's sales have dropped by 76%, and in France by 45%, leading to heightened investor concerns about Musk's influence on the brand's image. Amidst this turmoil, Trump’s comments labeling protesters as domestic terrorists add to the mounting scrutiny.

Tesla's market share is dwindling, and competitors are thriving, exemplified by Ford and Chevrolet's rising sales figures. Furthermore, Musk's controversial decisions, including mass layoffs and reliance on questionable political allies, have exacerbated the company's troubles.

As Musk seeks to regain footing through discounts and strategic partnerships, the question remains whether this approach will effectively restore Tesla's reputation and market presence.
