CNN Business | Tesla is in deeper trouble than you think

(CNN) — Tesla’s troubles go far beyond CEO Elon Musk’s recent dust-up with President Donald Trump, who accused the former “first buddy” of going “completely ‘off the rails’” in a social media slap fight over the weekend.

But while the battles between Musk and Trump are getting all the attention, the outlook for Tesla’s revenue and bottom line have has gotten notably worse. And the company could even be back to losing money, for reasons unrelated to Musk’s personal politics.

But Musk has since announced he was starting a new political party due to his displeasure with the tax and spending bill signed by Trump on Friday — and the barbs on their respective websites have only increased since then.
