A Tesla analyst today said that investors should not lose sight of what is truly important in the grand scheme of being a shareholder, and that any near-term drama between CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump should not outshine the progress made by the company.<\/p>\n
Gene Munster of Deepwater Management said that Tesla\u2019s progress in autonomy is a much larger influence and a significantly bigger part of the company\u2019s story than any disagreement between political policies.<\/p>\n
Munster appeared on\u00a0CNBC\u2018s \u201cClosing Bell\u201d yesterday to reiterate this point:<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing that is critical for Tesla investors to remember is that what\u2019s going on with the business, with autonomy, the progress that they\u2019re making, albeit early, is much bigger than any feud that is going to happen week-to-week between the President and Elon. So, I understand the reaction, but ultimately, I think that cooler heads will prevail. If they don\u2019t, autonomy is still coming, one way or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a point that other analysts like Dan Ives of Wedbush and Cathie Wood of ARK Invest also made yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
On two occasions over the past month, Musk and President Trump have gotten involved in a very public disagreement over the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill,\u201d which officially passed through the Senate yesterday and is making its way to the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
