Is Tesla suffering from Musk taking on government role? | DW News

Electric car sales are on the rise across Europe, but one major company appears to be bucking the trend. Tesla has seen both its stock price and sales plummet in recent months. Both supporters and critics say the brand is suffering after CEO Elon Musk turned his attention to politics, throwing his support behind Donald Trump and right-wing parties in Europe.

Tons of EVs today are just as good or better. Why buy from someone who is evil?

[shaufanhaung]

No Tesla, No X, No Starlink, No Space X, No Musk, No Trump！！！！！Never ever！！！

[szymonmosiolek]

they said "Go Woke, Go Broke" we can now say "Go Trump, Go Dump"

[williamavery]

I'm not from the USA or Germany. After observing Elon Musk's behaviour over recent months, I would never buy any product associated with his name FULL STOP

[youtubeaccount]

I'm so ashamed to own my Tesla and will never buy anything from that company ever again.

[confiuzer]

Sell your Tesla stocks before they are worth nothing!!

1:15 People are not turning back on technology.
People are turning back on elon musk.

Very sad, this guy has no principles.

[SibusisoMaseko]

Anything that is owned by Elon Musk, I will never buy.

[Dalia-iu]

Tesla is so over. It will never recover from this!!!😂😂😂😂

[okjoke]

It can be a goodish car, but ... what EM did is unacceptable.

[Bones.x]

Tesla is suffering because the boss is openly doing Na zi salutes on TV.

[pradyotrai]

People mostly bought Tesla for the story — transition to sustainability. The message had changed — transition to tyranny. That will cost Tesla everything as long as Elon is attached to its brand.

[TheJoeSwanon]

Disturbs me I find European news more authentic and accurate than domestic news channels

[wokeaf]

The AI ​​software used by Tesla is also not good and cannot even detect children on the road when it is foggy or rainy outside.

[Resistt]

I love Teslarrr. Famous used cars salesman Donald Dump

[lazaro.santorinni]

He should have thought that Tesla's biggest potential buyers are progressive individuals, those who care about the environment first, and electric cars, not conservatives. This company will have a disastrous downfall in the next four years.

[jambro]

Glad I didn't buy that cybertrash truck 😂😂😂

[Domini_k]

Think most American products are now seen in a bad light, over in Europe and Canada.

Boycott Starlink next please. More important
