Marketing guru Scott Galloway has blasted Elon Musk’s tenure as head of Trump’s Doge office, calling it a textbook case of brand destruction. Galloway says Musk’s political alliances have “alienated the wrong people,” causing Tesla’s reputation to plummet and sales to nosedive in key European markets. Tesla’s brand ranking has fallen from the top 10 to near the bottom of the list, and BYD has now outsold Tesla in Europe. Musk, facing investor pressure after a 71% profit drop, has pledged to reduce his government involvement, but the brand crisis remains unresolved.
