It might be time for Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s own fork in the road.

The electric carmaker is set to report quarterly earnings Tuesday afternoon that may say a lot about which direction Musk and the company he has ridden to immense wealth will go next.

The company will update investors on revenue, profit and other key figures after months of turmoil as Musk continues to dedicate a large portion of his time to the Trump administration’s attempt to radically remake the federal government, far away from his corporate responsibilities at Tesla, SpaceX and his other companies.

With Tesla’s stock and brand reputation getting pummeled — and with Trump’s tariff policy threatening to upend the automotive market, Tesla included — many Tesla investors have called on Musk to scale back or end his government work entirely and return his focus to business.

    I do. I haven’t been to an Exxon gas station in 35 years, nor a BP in 15, and I’ve never used a gas station flying a confederate flag. Fuck those imaginary constructs and anyone who flies their banners.

      So no VW, no Mercedes, no Toyota, no Ford, and so on. Confederate flag still actively stands for some real garbage, so it doesn’t count.

        Yeah well actually that’s all true. Have never owned any of those and probably never will. I’m not sure who you’re counting in and so on, but unless it includes GM and Chrysler it has turned out that way mainly by happy coincidence.
