Rossmann announces a boycott of Musk’s company. The reason is his support for Trump

Rossmann, whose store is located in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey announced that it would stop buying Tesla cars for its company fleet. The stated reason was that Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, sided with the Republican candidate in the US presidential election, Donald Trump.

The company said the reason was an “inconsistency” between Musk’s statements and the values ​​that Tesla represents. Raoul Rossmann, the son of the drugstore chain’s founder, stressed that Musk’s position conflicts with Tesla’s mission, which focuses on protecting the environment by producing electric cars. “Elon Musk has made no secret of his support for Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly called climate change a hoax – this position is in extreme contradiction to Tesla’s mission,” Rossmann said, as quoted by Reuters.

Neither Elon Musk, Tesla nor Donald Trump’s campaign team want to comment on the German cosmetics chain’s decision.

At the same time, Rossmann said it will continue to use the Teslas it already owns “for the sake of sustainability and resource conservation.”
