    Tesla Learns Hard Lesson: Go Anti-Woke, Go Broke

    When CEO Elon Musk took a hard turn to the right, the number of
    Democrats buying Teslas dropped 60 percent.

    Things are not going well at Tesla right now. The stock is down more
    than $100 per share year-to-date, as many as 20,000 people are set to
    lose their jobs, the Cybertruck keeps breaking, operating profit is
    expected to be down 40 percent when it? Ts announced later today and
    the $25,000 electric vehicle that Tesla has reportedly been working
    on is apparently canceled. As the Wall Street Journal reports, some
    but not all of that stress can be attributed to Tesla alienating what
    was previously its most valuable demographic ? " Democrats.

    Historically, Democrats have bought Teslas in significantly larger
    numbers than people with other political affiliations. As Elon Musk
    has moved to the right, interacting with far-right accounts,
    promoting race ? oscience,? anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia and >>> complaining about the ? owoke mind virus,? though, the number of
    Democrats interested in giving him their money has dropped
    significantly. Late last year, that figure reportedly dropped by more
    than 60 percent. Related Content

    Unfortunately for Tesla, while Republicans have embraced Musk? Ts
    political heel-turn, they haven? Tt necessarily been buying his cars in >>> large enough numbers to offset the sharp drop in interest from
    left-leaning people. That? Ts likely due in part to Republican
    politicians using EVs as an example of how Democrats want to destroy
    the auto industry, control your life and force you to own nothing and
    eat bugs.

    While surveys have found lower consumer interest in Teslas ever since
    Musk bought Twitter, when it came to actual sales, Democrats didn? Tt
    really start to drop off significantly until last October. They made
    up 40 percent of Tesla? Ts sales for the 2022 model year and 39 percent >>> for 2023, yet when the 2024 model year Teslas went on sale, the
    number of Democrats in the mix dropped to 15 percent.

    I'm calling bullshit right here and now.

    I do not for one moment believe that the purchasing process for
    acquiring a Tesla involves asking buyers what political party they
    support. If they don't ask this question, how can any researcher
    POSSIBLY know what the party affiliation of the buyer is, either at the
    time of sale or afterwards.

    ever heard of polls and surveys?




    Don't expect a rightist to know anything about marketing, business or surveys. Their only source of knowledge is right wing bullshit websites and social media memes.

    Yet you believe CNN?
