Elon Musk shared a manipulated survey claiming that 70% of Germans would consider buying a Tesla, despite a previous report showing only 3% interest. The survey was found to have been rigged by bots, with 253,000 votes from just two US IP addresses, leading to its shutdown. Tesla's sales in Germany have plummeted, with a 41% drop last year and a staggering 70% decline in early 2025, attributed to Musk's diminishing credibility and increased competition.
