Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, suggested that he has distanced himself from politics, but has increasingly leaned towards the far right. Recently, activist Tommy Robinson thanked Musk for funding his legal defense. Although Musk has had a period of focus on business, he has continued to engage in politics, promoting conspiracy theories and anti-immigration views on his social media platform, X. This political involvement has affected Tesla's sales, with a Yale study estimating losses of about one million sales. His approval rating has drastically decreased, but Musk has continued to display his support for the far right, participating in rallies and supporting pro-nativist political movements. He has also launched online platforms that promote conservative views, including a right-wing version of Wikipedia, Grokipedia, which contains false information. Criticism of his influence in politics has increased, but Musk remains a pillar of the international far right.
