Why It’s Important: Scaramucci's comments reflect a growing divide between Musk and the political left. It also comes after Musk's departure as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency under the Donald Trump administration.
Previously, in an interview, Musk also defended his contentious time leading DOGE, stating that the department was unfairly blamed for a wide range of issues in Washington.
“It’s a bit unfair … DOGE became the whipping boy for everything,” he said, adding, “If there was some cut, real or imagined, everyone would blame DOGE.”
Musk's political involvement in the U.S., along with his outspoken views on Europe, also sparked considerable controversy.
Amid the fallout, Tesla's vehicle sales declined sharply and the company's board of directors reportedly began searching for a potential successor to Musk as CEO. Both the board and the billionaire called the report false.
Now, Musk's renewed focus on Tesla has reignited optimism among Wall Street analysts. Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities set an upbeat price target of $500, forecasting that the company could ultimately achieve a $2 trillion valuation.
