Elon Musk has a simple solution for Tesla's problems in Europe
Elon Musk's time in Washington, D.C., leading the Department of Government Efficiency may have been short, but he seems to have learned a lot from the experience. As an unofficial member of President Donald Trump's cabinet, Musk was only allowed to serve in government for 130 days. Once his time was up, his relationship with Trump disintegrated, leading to a war of words and online threats that have continued to this week. Related: Tesla is set to deliver dismal sales, but here's why investors don't care While Musk promised investors he would spend more time at Tesla HQ in Austin once his time in D.C. ended, he has flirted with starting his own political party and spends much of his social media bandwidth commenting on government concerns. But his political interests aren't just confined to the U.S.; Musk has also commented on the nonexistent white genocide he believes is happening in South Africa. Musk has also publicly endorsed the AfD, a German right-wing party that some view as extremist, and he was accused of doing a Nazi salute on stage. Coincidentally, Germany is also one of the many European countries where Tesla sales have fallen sharply since Musk embarked on his far-right political journey. Just a couple of years after it spent billions to build a European hub in Germany, Tesla's future on the mainland appears to be worse than ever. Tesla sales in Europe were down nearly 40% from January to April compared to the previous year. In June, sales dropped another 39%. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, Tesla's first-half sales were down 44% in Europe. Image source: Leong/Washington Post via Getty Images Months ago, Musk seemingly acknowledged that his political activities have played a part in his company's decline. After sales in Germany reportedly fell 62%, and numbers in Norway, the UK, and France weren't much better, Musk said that any politically left-leaning buyers who abandoned the company have been replaced by people who align better with his politics. Perhaps his time in Washington has made him more diplomatic, because he wasn't so flippant when talking to investors this week. During his second-quarter earnings call, he detailed how Tesla would win back customers. "It's worth noting that we do not actually yet have approval for supervised FSD in Europe. So our sales in Europe, we think, will improve significantly once we are able to give customers the same experience that they have in the U.S.," Musk said.

But that doesn't explain why the company reported six months of falling market share. January YouGov polls showing 71% unfavorability ratings in Germany and the UK may explain the decline a bit more. One reason investors may have trouble swallowing Musk's assertion that a lack of FSD is the reason for falling European sales is the company's recent C-suite shakeup. Tesla reportedly fired Omead Afshar, its head of North American and European operations, in June following a massive drop in European EV deliveries. Afshar, who joined Tesla in 2017, was just promoted to the position in November. The Wall Street Journal described Afshar as one of Musk's closest confidants at the company. Tesla shares closed the week down about 4%, rallying sharply after the steep decline immediately following its earnings release.

Nico Rosberg: Christian Horner Red Bull F1 Sacking "Unthinkable"
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sky Sports F1 commentator Nico Rosberg addressed Christian Horner leaving Red Bull after the massive shake-up. Horner got removed from his position after the board at the energy drink company lost confidence in his leadership. He was embroiled in several controversies as the team leader, including personal scandals. Red Bull became a powerhouse under Horner, but over the past 18 months, it has experienced a downturn in form. Former Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies has been promoted to the main leadership position at Red Bull, replacing Christian Horner. Newly appointed Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies (R) speaks for a television next to former German driver Nico Rosberg ahead of the start of the Sprint Race of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix... Newly appointed Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies (R) speaks for a television next to former German driver Nico Rosberg ahead of the start of the Sprint Race of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Spa, on July 26, 2025. More Photo byThe team is moving forward and trying to get a reset, though Rosberg remains shocked at Horner's absence. "Christian Horner not being here anymore is unthinkable. That's completely unreal," he said on the Sky Sports broadcast. "It was a big, big shock and surprise to everybody, including himself. He didn't see it coming at all, nor did anybody in the team. "But of course, it was a long time in the making. Coming on from last year, from all the issues that he'd been having there, so I think this was just a result of that. "But nobody really still knows 100 percent what exactly happened." Red Bull sits in fourth among the constructors' standings, more than 200 points behind the leading McLaren team. The team's lead driver, Max Verstappen, sits in third, but far from title contention, trailing Lando Norris by a little less than 60 points. Red Bull is on track for a disappointing season, considering its lofty ambitions from the team and its driver. The driver alongside Verstappen hasn't carried their weight over the last few years, exacerbating the issue within half the team. Verstappen has clauses in his contract that could trigger a move to another team, leaving Red Bull desperate to change their fortunes. A combination of the team's struggles, Verstappen's impending exit, and Horner's alleged inappropriate conduct towards a female employee likely all contributed to a drastic in-season decision. Even after all the success Horner brought, the team's ownership decided that enough was enough.

German Auto Giant Volkswagen (VOW3) Reports $1.5 Billion Hit from U.S. Tariffs
German automotive powerhouse Volkswagen (DE:VOW3) has reported a $1.5 billion hit from U.S. tariffs in this year's first half. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The impact of tariffs led to a sharp drop in Volkswagen's second-quarter profit and prompted the automaker to lower its full-year guidance. Europe's largest car manufacturer posted an operating profit of 3.83 billion euros (US$4.49 billion) for the three months ended June 30, down 29% from 5.4 billion euros a year ago. Analysts had expected a second-quarter profit of 3.94 billion euros. Volkswagen reported second-quarter sales revenue of 80.8 billion euros, also missing analyst expectations of 82.2 billion euros. Management blamed the impact of U.S. tariffs for the poor results, highlighting that U.S. import duties cost the company 1.3 billion euros (US$1.5 billion) in the first six months of 2025. Dark Outlook In terms of guidance, Volkswagen said its 2025 operating return on sales is now expected to range between 4% and 5%, down from a previous forecast of 5.5% to 6.5%. Full-year sales are expected to come in line with the level achieved in 2024, compared to a rise of 5% previously. The results come as Europe's automakers struggle with numerous challenges, including rising competition from cheaper Chinese car brands and U.S. President Donald Trump's import duties of 25% on all foreign automobiles. The auto sector is especially vulnerable to U.S. tariffs because of its globalized supply chains and heavy reliance on manufacturing operations outside of America. Is VOW3 Stock a Buy? The stock of Volkswagen has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among nine Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on four Buy and five Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average VOW3 price target of €115.20 implies 15% upside from current levels.
