Tesla employees and investors are speaking out over fears that CEO Elon Musk’s alliance with Donald Trump undermines its reputation and sustainability mission.

Tesla’s financial tale, however, has taken a turn since Trump took the oath of office with Tesla stock down over 17% since Jan. 21, as of midday Friday. Just weeks before the inauguration, Tesla reported the first full-year drop in global sales in its history as a public company, according to a report from CNN.

Tesla's Cybercab, or robo-taxi, was announced last October and is due to hit the roads in Texas this June as part of a trial roll-out.

The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase.

The State Department updated its 2025 procurement forecast after the line item was publicly questioned about potential conflict of interest.
