Ever since throwing his billion-dollar weight behind Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and “helping” the Trump administration fire tens of thousands of government and federal workers via his DOGE initiative, Elon Musk has turned himself into one of the most despised “political” figures in the world. And thanks to Phony Stark, Tesla has been bearing the brunt of the public backlash.
According to Crooks And Liars, sales of the once must-have Tesla Cybertruck continue to plummet as people refuse to align themselves with what many feel is a fascist movement being born out of the Trump-Musk administration, and though there are rumors that Musk will exit his position at the White House this coming May, the damage to the Tesla brand has been done. With the lack of sales of Tesla automobiles going global (the world recognizes what’s going on in America), Tesla stock has steadily dropped in the first quarter of 2025, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to rebound anytime soon, if ever.
Per Crooks And Liars:
The Austin-based company delivered just 6,406 Cybertrucks this year through March, according to Cox Automotive. That’s more than double its volume in the year-earlier period, when it was slowly starting to make the hard-to-build model. But the quarterly figure was less than half of what it sold in either the third or fourth quarter of 2024–14,416 and 12,991 units, respectively–as its production ramped up.
Musk had previously forecast that annual sales of the electric pickup might average 250,000 a year, though it delivered only about 39,000 last year. A combination of multiple recalls–including one last month to fix stainless steel body panels that fell off due to faulty glue–and the likelihood of sharply higher costs for steel, aluminum and imported auto parts due to Trump’s tariffs, suggest Tesla will struggle to boost sales of a model that can sell for about $100,000. Weak demand has also led to an inventory of about 2,400 unsold new Cybertrucks, according to auto news site Jalopnik.
It doesn’t help that anti-fascist people around the world have taken to vandalizing Cybertrucks on the streets by spray painting swastikas on them and writing messages directed at Elon Musk for his now infamous Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. Who would want to put down a grip on an automobile that might get vandalized on the street due to it’s connection to one of the most hated men in the world? We know we wouldn’t.
While vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck is now considered a “hate crime” by this administration’s Department Of Justice and can land you in prison for 20 years (no, seriously), people will still refuse to support anything associated with Elon Musk as he continues to publicly support the Nazification of the United States.
