He said the clash had sparked fear among investors about what it might mean for regulation of the company, which is seeking to expand self-driving and robotics and had hoped for a more relaxed regulatory approach under the Trump administration.

"I believe 90% of the future value of Tesla is going to be autonomous and robotics," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives told the BBC this week, adding that the Austin launch would be "a watershed moment"."The first task at hand is ensuring the autonomous vision gets off to a phenomenal start," Ives added.

But with Musk's attention divided, the project's odds of success would appear to have lengthened.And there's something else to factor in too: Musk's own motivation.The talk in Silicon Valley lately centres less on whether Musk can turn things around and more on whether he even cares.

"He's a really powerful person when he's focused on something," said Ross Gerber, President and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management."Before, it was about proving to the world that he would make EVs - the tech that nobody else could do. It was about proving he could make rockets. He had a lot to prove."

A longtime Tesla investor, Gerber has soured on the stock, and has been pairing back his holdings since Musk's foray into right-wing politics. He called Thursday an "extremely painful day."

"It's the dumbest thing you could possibly do to think that you have more power than the president of the United States," Gerber said, referring to Musk's social media tirade against Trump.Prosecutor Nanette Rogers, however, put to her that there was no health issue to discuss, and that she had invited Simon and his relatives over to kill them.

Ms Patterson has denied this allegation repeatedly throughout the week, often becoming emotional as she told the court she loved them like her own family.She has also repeatedly told the court that she realised, in the days after the lunch, that the beef Wellington may have accidentally included dried mushrooms she had foraged, which were kept in a container with store-bought ones.

She lied to the police and health authorities about the source of the mushrooms, as well as her decision to dispose of a food dehydrator, because she was scared of being blamed for the guests' dire illnesses, she said."Surely if you had loved them, then you would have immediately notified the medical authorities?" Dr Rogers asked.
