It's gotten so bad that one of Tesla's earliest investors has called for Musk to step down. Ross Gerber said in an interview with Sky News that Musk's role in the U.S. government — notably the (extremely) divisive Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — and close ties to President Donald Trump have damaged Tesla.

The ‘Tush Push’ remains in the spotlight as the NFL offseason rolls on.
Not just because the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LIX, but because of the push — pun intended — from other teams to have the play banned.
