Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the formation of a new political party, "America Party," sparking concerns among investors about his commitment to Tesla. Analyst Dan Ives urged Tesla's board to establish "guardrails" on Musk's political activities, suggesting increased voting power for Musk as incentive to prioritize Tesla, amidst slowing EV sales and the company's focus on autonomous vehicles and robotics.
