Elon Musk and Tesla are going through a significant turning point. The company reported a decline in revenue and profit in its financial statements.

According to the reports for the second quarter of 2025, Tesla's revenues fell by 12% compared to last year, dropping to $22.5 billion. This situation caught attention as it fell short of analysts' expectations.

Musk stated that he aims to reach half of the US population with the robotaxi service by the end of the year. However, this goal is contingent on regulatory approvals.

Musk's political statements are negatively affecting Tesla's public perception. According to surveys, 58% of Americans hold a negative view of Musk.

The future of Tesla seems to depend not only on new technologies but also on Musk's public stance. The company's financial situation is also facing protests.
