Elon Musk is both the CEO of the largest U.S. EV maker and the right-hand-man to President Donald Trump. But Trump is working to strip away the federal and state policies that have fueled Tesla’s rise–EV tax breaks, carbon credits and money for charging stations. Investors and analysts are divided over whether Musk’s Trump support and active White House role is driving Tesla into the ground, or, somehow, securing its future. CNBC takes a look at the evidence and breaks down both the optimistic and pessimistic cases.
