Elon Musk's Tesla has seen a huge drop in sales in a number of European countries in recent weeks as the billionaire's involvement in politics has taken a toll on his business

Tesla sales in Europe have reportedly plummeted as Elon Musk pedals his political agenda, not only in countries like Germany but also in the U.S.

The U.S. electric car company’s sales are sliding across Europe, amid what many see as interference in local affairs by Tesla’s chief executive, Elon Musk.

Musk clapped his right hand onto his heart and then thrusted his arm straight outward at an angle with his palm facing down.

Popularity has plummeted in markets like Germany, a country still haunted by its fascist past, where Tesla's share of EV sales plummeted to just 3.7% last month versus 14% a year earlier.
