Elon Musk’s Politics Tank Tesla Sales in Europe
Tesla’s European sales have plummeted, with Germany experiencing a nearly 60 percent year-on-year drop and France seeing a 63 percent decline. This sharp decrease, affecting several other European markets, is attributed to consumer backlash against Elon Musk’s public support for far-right political parties. The decline contrasts with overall rising electric vehicle sales in Europe. The negative impact on Tesla’s sales follows Musk’s controversial actions and statements, including alleged ties to far-right figures and criticism of governments.
