CEO cancels Tesla order, chooses European EVs instead

French entrepreneur Romain Roy has canceled an order for 15 Tesla electric vehicles, choosing instead to buy European-made cars. This decision comes after his growing frustration with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and U.S. environmental policies. Mr. Roy runs a company that specializes in solar panels. He had used Tesla vehicles in his business for years. However, he is now taking a stand against what he considers harmful actions by the U.S. government and Musk. He believes they prioritize profit over the environment. In an interview, Roy expressed his dissatisfaction with both Musk and former President Donald Trump. He accused them of being reckless and harming the environment, stating, “They won't get my money.” He has vowed to not support what he sees as a damaging trade policy. Roy's actions mirror a larger movement in Europe against American products. In Denmark, for example, there is a growing trend to boycott U.S. goods, driven by opposition to Trump's policies. This shift is leading to a noticeable decline in Tesla sales. In Germany and France, there have been reports of vandalism at Tesla dealerships. Additionally, in London, posters have emerged that draw negative comparisons between Musk and historical figures associated with oppression. This reflects a rising sentiment in Europe against American influence and products.
