Tesla’s profits slide over 70 percent in the fourth quarter
It’s one week into Elon Musk’s new role as chief cost-cutter for the Trump administration, but today, his side hustle as CEO of Tesla takes center stage with the release of the company’s latest earnings report.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla said it earned $2.3 billion in net income on $25.7 billion in revenue. That represents a 1.9 percent increase year over year compared to $25.2 billion in revenue in Q4 2023 and a staggering 70 percent decrease in net income.

Analyst consensus predicted $27.26 billion in revenue, according to an average of estimates compiled by LSEG.
