Tesla wants to kill EV incentives in US because of Musk, but it is lobbying for them elsewhere

Summary

Tesla lobbies for stricter EV incentives in the UK, including higher taxes on fossil fuel vehicles, while opposing EV subsidies in the U.S. due to Elon Musk’s political support for Donald Trump.

Tesla previously supported federal EV incentives, but Musk’s political stance has since shifted, prioritizing his anti-“woke” agenda.

Critics argue this approach undermines Tesla’s mission to advance sustainable transportation.

The contrast between Tesla’s lobbying strategies in the U.S. and UK highlights a tension between the company’s goals and Musk’s personal politics.
