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.

    To become a billionaire you have to be a piece of shit human being. No billionaire is ever going to solve world anything, because again… They are trash human beings.

      There are two reasonably good ones, as far as I know - Gabe Newell and Bill Gates.

      The rest though… yeah.
      The world would be a very different place if every billionaire was anything like those two.

        I’d recommend listening to the Behind the Bastards episode on Bill Gates if you think he’s a good person.
