As Mr. Musk has been intent on slashing the U.S. budget through an initiative he calls the Department of Government Efficiency, the electric vehicle company he runs has been steadily losing market share across Europe. The automaker’s sales were down in the three largest European markets for electric cars in January. 

In Germany, home to Tesla’s only factory in Europe, only 1,277 new Tesla vehicles were registered in the month, the German Federal Motor Transport Authority reported on Wednesday. German consumers turned instead to domestic and Chinese automakers for electric cars, which recorded a 54 percent increase in demand in January.
