Uh oh. Go anti-woke, Go Broke. This will be a case study.
Tesla on Wednesday reported a slump in profit, the third quarterly decline in a row, as the company cut car prices in an attempt to revive sales.
The company made $1.2 billion from April to June, down from $1.4 billion a year earlier. Sales fell to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Tesla has not reported an increase in quarterly profit since the third quarter of 2024.
Tesla’s weak earnings are likely to reinforce concern among some investors that Elon Musk, the chief executive, is neglecting the car business while he focuses the company’s resources on autonomous driving software, self-driving taxis and humanoid robots.
Mr. Musk reiterated Wednesday his assertion that those technologies will make Tesla “the most valuable company in the world by far.”
