Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.
It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.
Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.
Gates became a billionare by being a trash human being, then probably decided he didn’t want that to be his legacy so he started being somewhat less of one. He’s doing significantly better than most, but still probably a net negative.
He isn’t even being better than anyone, all he does is publicity stunts while not fixing anything. Everything he has donated was for tax writeoffs.
Uh huh. The man who has donated roughly 100 billion in total - apparently as “tax writeoffs” - including funding the Gates foundation which spent countless billions treating malaria, aids, tuberculosis, polio, hiv and a myriad of other things, hasn’t fixed anything because billionaire = bad.
As he lobbies for stronger pharmaceutical IP (that he’s invested in) in African countries; when mosquito nets would have been more effective. If you follow the money all of gates philanthropy ultimately benefits gates. He’s a trash human like all billionaires, he’s just really good at PR.
At least he isn’t sacking thousands of government workers, and probably isn’t defrauding the government…
I sure do love it when people regurgitate Russian propaganda at me
