Boss Elon Musk said “we probably could have a few rough quarters" after EV firm posted big losses

Tesla can normally rely on positive commentary from its biggest champion in the investment community, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas.

After the second-quarter results and call featuring CEO Elon Musk, however, the Tesla ‘mega-bull’ was nonplussed. “Almost no detail on outlook.

Jonas noted that Musk was “pulling capital out of the business and doubling down on AI, autonomy and robotaxis.”
