French Tesla Owners Sue, Claiming Musk Turned Cars Into Right-Wing Symbol
Approximately ten French Tesla owners are suing Elon Musk, seeking early termination of their lease contracts. The lawsuit alleges Musk’s political affiliations and statements have transformed Tesla vehicles into symbols of the far-right, causing the plaintiffs “direct and concrete” damage. This legal action follows a significant drop in Tesla sales across Europe attributed to Musk’s controversial political stances. The plaintiffs argue that the cars’ association with the extreme-right prevents them from fully enjoying their purchases.
