Tesla’s Global Sales Plummet Amid Economic Downturn and Musk’s Controversies

Tesla Inc. is experiencing a significant decline in sales across various global markets, a situation exacerbated by a challenging economic environment and public backlash against CEO Elon Musk. In the United States, Tesla's sales have dropped sharply, with analysts attributing the fall to broader economic issues as well as specific controversies surrounding Musk's leadership. Similarly, in Europe, Tesla's sales nearly halved in February 2025, reflecting growing consumer discontent with Musk's public statements and business decisions.

The downturn in sales comes at a time when Tesla faces increased competition from other electric vehicle manufacturers, notably China's BYD, which is rapidly expanding its market share. In response to the sales slump, Tesla has initiated recalls and is attempting to revamp its marketing strategies to regain consumer trust. Despite these efforts, the company's future remains uncertain as it navigates the complexities of a global economic downturn and the repercussions of its CEO's controversial public persona.
