Research shows: Musk's partisan political activities have caused a loss of over 1 million Tesla sales
According to a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper written by Yale University economists, without the "Musk partisan effect" described by researchers, Tesla's sales in the United States would have increased by 67% to 83% from October 2022 to April 2025, that is, an increase of about 1 million to 1.26 million vehicles.
The study found that as buyers with Democratic leanings abandoned Tesla, this effect also caused the sales of competitors' electric and hybrid vehicles to increase by approximately 17% to 22%. Surveys cited in the report show that Musk's political stance has alienated environmentally conscious Democratic voters, who have historically been Tesla's strongest supporters.
