Musk’s Politics No Reason to Stop Buying Teslas, Minister Says

Tesla Inc. workers shouldn’t pay the price for Elon Musk’s polarizing foray into politics, a minister for the German region home to the carmaker’s sole European factory said.

Tesla’s plant in the state of Brandenburg makes the Model Y for more than three dozen markets, most of them in Europe. But the company’s sales in the region have plummeted since Musk began advising the Trump administration and backing far-right parties in nations including Germany.
