Elon Musk delusionally believes Trump support is not affecting Tesla, claims sales are at 'all-time highs' (electrek.co)

I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

Tesla sales are down 27% in the US in 2024 compared to same period in 2023 according to numbers here: https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-us-sales-figures/

If they're positive growth overall then it has to be because of international sales. I can't find good statistics on that right now though.

This makes me think it's worth it to short Tesla. Elon has only gone full Maga in the past few months so I don't expect sales to improve anytime soon in the US. Politics isn't the only thing that is dragging sales down, but shit, it's not like republicans are the ones buying EVs.
