Elon Musk Loses His Magic Touch, X Escapes, Tesla Registrations Plummet. The Numbers Speak Clearly

“He who causes his own misfortune, let him cry himself,” goes the proverb that, now more than ever, seems to represent the controversial figure of Elon Musk . In the space of six months, the magnate who owns X and Tesla has experienced a loss of millions of users on his social network in Europe and, simultaneously, of sales of his electric cars.

Going into detail, the former Twitter lost 11 million monthly active users, falling from 111.4 to 100.4 million, with particularly sharp drops in France (-2.7 million), Poland (1.8 million) and Germany (1.3 million).

The flight from X appears to be a symptom of the increasingly widespread perception of Musk’s political alignment with the European far right. In particular, the South American billionaire has fearlessly called the AfD party “Germany’s best hope,” while also criticizing what he called an excessive “focus on guilt over the past.”

Tesla sales, on the other hand, have fallen by 50% , also considering the outbreak of vandalism against the American brand's cars in the form of protests against the owner Elon Musk. This data, however, is not reflected in Italy, given that registrations have increased. According to data published by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, Tesla sales in Italy have grown by 29.28%, reaching a total of 446 cars.

Given the data, Musk's choice to " take the field " by openly exposing himself on the political front, would seem to have brought confidence in his companies to an all-time low in the most sensitive markets, such as the European one. The numbers, for now, speak clearly.
