The article is about European sales though. I know some European people are obsessed with American politics as if there was nothing worth discussing that's European, but the number of people who knows and cares about whatever happened at Nancy Pelosi's house, then knows what Elon had to say about that, then deciding it's so egregious that they can't buy a Tesla anymore it's probably single digits.

Elon is not exactly beloved in Europe either, for all sorts of non Pelosi related reasons

Which is probably the main point. It's well known that American companies sell a higher proportion of their cars in America than in Europe and vice versa. That a foreign company was ever outselling domestic producers in a region with a large automotive industry is an unusual and generally short-lived phenomenon.

Musk's comments know no border, the EU also gets to enjoy his wisdom on highly sensitive subjects:

Along with X's well adjusted moderation policies:

I'm sure the Germans are thrilled with all of it.
