Tesla sales in Europe are plummeting fast.
Somemedia outletshave linked the companys cratering sales to its CEOs growing unpopularity.
That would make sense, since Musk has spent the last several monthsopenly meddlingin political systems all over Europe.

Musk has also attempted toconjure a MAGA equivalentin Europe dubbed MEGA, or Make Europe Great Again.
It would appear that Musks favorability in many of these countries is quite low.
Teslas sales were already declining in Europe prior to the recent numbers.
Teslas sales also recently plummeted in California, which is the companysbiggest marketin the U.S. by far.
Bloombergreports thatsales of the Model 3considered the companyssecond most popular modelplunged 36% from the previous year.
This represents thefirst annual drop in salesfor Musks company in the state.
Or maybe its because hes hitched his wagon to Donald Trumps stara politician most Californians hate.
Or maybe its becausehe recently made what looked a whole helluva lot like a Nazi saluteat a political rally.
All of these seem like viable possibilities.
In short: Elon Musk may be such a huge asshole that it is effectively killing his business.
