Elon, why did you have to get involved in politics?

Enrique Dans, an innovation professor and blogger, criticizes Elon Musk's political support of Donald Trump, arguing that it contradicts Musk's public persona and business interests. Dans posits that Trump's policies on climate change, energy, and regulation are detrimental to Musk's ventures, particularly Tesla. He highlights the negative market reaction to Musk's political stance, citing a recent decline in Tesla's stock price following the unveiling of the company's Optimus robot, a project that was overshadowed by Musk's support for Trump. Dans ultimately suggests that Musk's political engagement has damaged his credibility and hindered his business endeavors.
