(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.’s sales plummeted 59% last month in Germany, adding to indications that Chief Executive Officer’s Elon Musk political activities are hurting the carmaker’s business in major electric vehicle markets.
The US manufacturer registered only 1,277 new cars in January, its lowest monthly total since July 2021, according to the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.
Tesla lost substantial ground in an EV market that was up 54% for the month. Musk’s intervention in Germany’s upcoming federal election likely factored in the result — a poll taken in mid-January found the CEO was viewed unfavorably, and that his political interventions were unwelcome.
Let's see. Europeans hate Musk's guts. Tesla cars are no longer viewed as status symbols there, but nazimobiles. MAGA apes are definitely not gonna replace green-minded California libs as Tesla's core customer base in the US. Chinese market is now more important than ever for Tesla !
If I am China I would convey to Musk that his business interests in China might be targeted, unless he fully obeys. Musk has displayed insubordinate attitude lately. He went against Chinese interests in Latin America and has belittled DeepSeek. Time to remind him of who's the boss !
Assertions like that are up there with claims that “China never existed”, whereas a case can be made that Aristotle never existed and his writings were ghost written and that European humanism was directly influenced by Chinese Confucianism.
The west basically projects their fantasies and fears onto asians, hence their fascination with ghengis khan.

Nowadays, the US can't even build a floating pier. What can they possibly accomplish in Gaza? BTW, both China and Russia have voiced criticism to Trump's fantasy, as well as major Islamic nations.
UPS, FedEx, DHL, and a bunch of cheaper substitutes say hello.
Such nonsense.
Furthermore, DeepSeek is open-source, the users probably can send data to anywhere they wish.
The problem is Trump might become a lame-duck after the midterm elections, and his hands will be full of Gaza and other misadventures he keeps dreaming up.
Good.
As I suspected Android is at the cross-hairs. While Trump is messing with his toys, Xi is playing the long game

It's worse than China's MG during the same period, which registered 1,645 units.
If Alex Tabarrok's opinion is representative of US elites' psyche, the US will lose its competition with China.
The US will lose to China anyway for the following reasons:
