According to Bloomberg, Rossmann purchases about 180 electric cars annually, so the direct impact on Tesla is insignificant. However, CNBC pointed out that this decision by the European company to completely stop purchasing Tesla indicates that Musk’s political choices are beginning to influence not only the United States but also automotive manufacturers.,

. Musk officially endorsed Trump last month and pledged to donate to America PAC, a pro-Trump organization., however, in June, Joe Biden avoided a question about what he would do to address climate change during a public TV debate with Trump. Trump has referred to climate change as a hoax and has vowed that if re-elected, he will withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement., according to Morning Consult’s survey, Republicans view Musk, who personally bought Twitter (now X-X) at the end of 2022, more favorably. Ironically, despite making money through the electric car business, Musk has publicly expressed his intention to remain neutral to offset the political bias of new media social network services like Twitter., yet buying Twitter did not increase electric car sales. Pew Research indicates that Musk, who has revealed right-wing tendencies after acquiring Twitter, has seen his reputation decline among left-wing voters, leading even leftists who supported electric cars to turn away from him., Rossmann’s decision symbolizes this reality. While Tesla’s overall revenue increased by 2% in the second quarter of last year, car sales amounted to $19.9 billion, a 7% decrease from the same quarter a year ago. Although Musk appeared to revolutionize the automotive industry with Tesla, his recent successes are being compromised by his controversial actions and political statements. After posting anti-Semitic content following the acquisition of X, Musk faced advertiser backlash. Subsequently, he criticized departing advertisers with profanity at a conference, only to face larger social backlash., half of Rossmann’s stores are located in Germany. Despite Musk opening a factory in Brandenburg, Germany in 2022 and employing thousands of locals, the public sentiment towards him is not as favorable. Musk has faced continuous protests from German environmental activists as Tesla attempted to clear parts of a forest in Brandenburg and utilize industrial water resources for electric car production. In March, Musk attacked these activists on X, calling them “the most stupid eco-terrorists on Earth” or people with no good environmental goals., ‘article_split’,,
