Heil Tesla! um, no, not today [1]

The Germans are extremely not happy with Musk meddling in Germany's election by endorsing AfD, and his "Sieg Heil!" salutes.
The projection onto the Tesla factory outside of Berlin was done by U.K. activist group Led By Donkeys and Germany's Centre for Political Beauty at the end of January. They also did this one:
There's also a mini-documentary on this link of Global News by Led By Donkeys about the protest.
After the original Nazi salute, Musk posted on X, "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired." Except everyone knows he did it for real.
The German Police investigated the incident because they may have breached laws against using symbols of illegal organizations. The use of or depiction of the Nazi salute is illegal in Germany. I wish we could do that here.
A survey of 100,000 Germans found that 94% of them would never buy a Tesla vehicle. In 2024, Tesla saw a 41% drop in sales in Germany. In the first two months of 2025, Tesla saw a 70% drop in Germany versus the already bad sales in 2024.
Anti-Tesla ads have also been placed like this one:
Musk has still be throwing more gasoline on the fire with this repost yesterday:
He just can't help himself. So he's tanking his whole company just to, I guess, own the libs?
What started in Germany has spilled over into the U.S. full force with protest demonstrations across the country. I covered the U.S. demonstrations in Donald buys a Tesla and whines about it.
The Canadians have joined with province British Columbia canceling rebates on Tesla products like home EV chargers, and household batteries.
Energy minister Adrian Dix said, "I thought they (Tesla products) shouldn't be made available on a subsidy program right now. I don't think anybody in British Columbia needs to be told why, and I think most people would support their removal from the list."
The Canadian province of Ontario had already canceled a 100 million Canadian dollar contract with Musk's Starlink. There are Canadian political leaders talking about 100% tariff on Tesla cars.
I'm sure no one here knew he had one, but there's a petition to strip Musk of his Canadian citizenship that already has 300,000 signatures.
For Europe in total, sales dropped In January 2025 by 45% compared to January 2024.
Musk's financial world seems to be crumbling with Tesla's sales off so much and the stock on a nosedive.
Like I've said before, it couldn't happen to a Nazier guy.
