European drugstore giant Rossmann announced Tuesday it will no longer buy Tesla's electric vehicles for its fleet, effective immediately, citing CEO Elon Musk 's pro-Trump political activism.
"Elon Musk makes no secret of his support for Donald Trump," Raoul Rossmann, a spokesperson for the company, said in a statement. "Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax - this attitude is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cars."
Rossman's decision follows a recent survey that found a deterioration in Tesla's brand, attributed partly to Musk's "antics" and "political rants." While Tesla's revenue increased 2% during the second quarter, automotive revenue dropped 7% to $19.9 billion from $21.27 billion in the same quarter a year ago.
