Going Down the Spiral: Tesla Faces Global Backlash Over Musk’s Political Involvement.

Going Down the Spiral: Tesla Faces Global Backlash Over Musk’s Political Involvement.

(The Americas)

As it trends. See video below. 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has found himself embroiled in a political firestorm, with widespread criticism over his involvement in U.S. governance and economic policies.

His growing association with right-wing politics has fueled backlash, with critics accusing him of venturing too far into controversial territory.

Social media erupted in protest, with many users referencing the adage, ‘Whatever Trump touches dies,’ implying that Trump-Musk’s political affiliation could negatively impact Tesla.

This comes amid rumors that Tesla’s board is seeking a new CEO

A recently released advertisement highlights this frustration—one woman calls on others to boycott Tesla, arguing that Musk’s connection to Trump has pushed him toward extremism, even adopting gestures linked to far-right movements.

Beyond politics, Tesla’s latest vehicle release has drawn harsh criticism across Europe and the U.S. Customers are voicing complaints about quality issues, pricing, and Musk’s leadership choices.

Reports reveal that Tesla registrations in Europe have plummeted by 45% since January, signaling widespread dissatisfaction among buyers.

As more former Tesla owners abandon their vehicles due to safety concerns and frustration with the brand’s trajectory, Tesla’s reputation is taking a hit.

This escalating boycott threatens to create major challenges for Tesla’s future, casting doubt on its long-term viability.
