"Because of Elon Musk's actions... Tesla branded vehicles have become strong political symbols and now appear to be veritable extreme-right 'totems.'"
"Musk's political realignment has proven immensely unpopular among consumers, causing sales of his carmaker to crater worldwide and leaving a massive dent in Tesla's finances."
Tesla vehicle owners in France are suing the company, claiming their cars have become symbols of extreme-right politics due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior. The lawsuit demands contract termination and reimbursement for legal costs, highlighting how Musk's far-right engagements have tarnished the brand's image. This situation has led to a significant decline in sales, particularly in Europe, with new registrations plummeting 53% last month. Owners express embarrassment and frustration, prompting some to identify their vehicles with stickers distancing themselves from Musk's political stances.
