Azoria Partners has postponed the launch of its Tesla-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) following Elon Musk’s unexpected entry into U.S. politics. The investment firm was set to debut the Azoria Tesla Convexity ETF, designed to invest in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock and options, but CEO James Fishback announced the delay on social media platform X, citing concerns about Musk’s new political direction.
Musk revealed the formation of the “America Party” just a day after polling users on X, saying the party aims to “give you back your freedom.” The announcement triggered immediate backlash from Fishback, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, who criticized Musk’s political ambitions and urged Tesla’s board to assess whether Musk can balance political activity with his CEO duties.
Fishback’s posts raised doubts about Musk’s leadership stability, especially after Musk stepped away in May from his role at the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency. "Shareholder confidence depends on Musk’s focus on Tesla, not political disruption," Fishback said in a post announcing the ETF’s delay.
Tesla has not commented on the matter, while Azoria continues to market other products, including its 500 Meritocracy ETF—an investment vehicle that excludes companies with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring targets.
Musk’s political shift comes just after Trump passed a controversial tax and spending bill that Musk strongly opposed. The development adds another layer of uncertainty for Tesla investors, who are closely watching how Musk’s political ambitions might impact the company’s future.
The ETF delay underscores how Musk’s high-profile moves outside Tesla can influence financial markets, investor sentiment, and corporate strategies tied to his name.
