1. The title of the article is misleading and sensationalist. It implies that S&P has downgraded Tesla's credit rating, which is false. The agency only lowered its governance score, not its credit rating, which remains at 'BBB'. This creates a negative impression on Tesla and its performance without providing accurate information to the readers.
Neutral
Explanation: The article discusses the concerns over Elon Musk's dominance in Tesla and how it affects the company's governance score. It also mentions the downgrade of Tesla's governance score by S&P but retains its 'BBB' credit rating. The overall tone of the article is neutral as it presents both positive (solid market share, liquidity) and negative aspects (key-person risk, lack of board effectiveness) of Tesla's situation.
