In a bold corporate statement, Danish construction giant Tscherning has returned its entire Tesla fleet—not for performance reasons, but due to Elon Musk’s growing alignment with far-right political views. The company emphasized that its values were no longer aligned with Tesla’s CEO.

This comes amid a wider backlash across Europe:

France: Tesla sales dropped 67% in May 2025

Sweden: Down 54%

EU overall: A 40% decline in Tesla sales (Jan–Apr) despite rising EV demand

Tscherning declared:

“It’s not about the car, it’s about who we choose to drive with.”

Meanwhile, Tesla faces mounting pressure from:

European automakers pushing affordable EVs

Chinese brands rapidly expanding across Europe

Criticism over its limited model lineup and public perception of Musk’s rhetoric

This move underscores how executive behavior and brand identity are increasingly influencing corporate buying decisions in the sustainability era.

Sweden is widely recognized as a global leader in waste management and recycling.

In fact, the country has achieved such high efficiency in recycling and waste-to-energy conversion that it processes nearly 99% of its household waste.

Because of this, Sweden generates more energy from waste than the country’s own trash production can support.

To keep its waste-to-energy incineration plants running at optimal capacity, Sweden has for several years been importing waste from other countries, especially from the UK, Norway, Ireland, and parts of Italy.

These countries often pay Sweden to take their garbage, which Sweden then burns in highly regulated incinerators that produce heat and electricity for Swedish homes and businesses.

This process is part of Sweden’s broader circular economy strategy, aiming to minimize landfill use and maximize resource recovery.

While critics argue that incineration can contribute to emissions, Sweden’s facilities are equipped with advanced filtering systems, making them far cleaner than older waste disposal method
