Tesla sales plummet by largest drop in company's history amid Elon Musk backlash
Briefly

Tesla's sales in the first quarter of 2025 fell by 13%, marking a historic low for the company. This drastic decline is attributed to widespread criticism of CEO Elon Musk's political actions as part of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, alongside increasing competition in the electric vehicle market. With 336,681 cars delivered, this drop represents 50,000 fewer vehicles than the same period in 2024. Protests and boycotts have ensued, with groups advocating against Tesla, while no comments were made regarding the backlash in Tesla's sales statement.
