Who fancies doing PR for Eloon Musk?

For those of you thoroughly sick of Elon Musk and wishing he would go away, I bring encouraging whispers from the car industry.

My car correspondent says Tesla drivers in the UK particularly are trying to offload the vehicles since owning one has become an embarrassment.

The electric vehicle market is flooded with supply so prices are tumbling.

Owners are buying stickers for their Tesla which say things like “Trust Me I Don’t Like Him Either” and “I Love My Car, Not The CEO.”

Following some of his remarks about women MPs and women in general, the wives of potential Tesla buyers are making their feelings known.

Actual quote: “I am literally the kind of t***** that would buy a Tesla, but I can’t because of that guy.

All of this will show up in industry sales figures before long, I’m assured. VW is delighted.

This is a sharp change of narrative for the man Private Eye is calling Eloon Musk.

Until recently, the thinking was that sure, he overpaid for Twitter, and perhaps ruined it, but the influence he gets from it will be worth billions in government contracts.

Well, maybe in the US. Other governments may find plenty of reasons to avoid him.

Back in 2020, Musk had so little interest in public relations, since he thought he could do it all himself, he fired Tesla’s PR department.

He might have to rehire it or seek external help.

I wonder if Teneo, Brunswick and the rest would be up for this, or consider him such a toxic risk they dare not.

I think this might be one of those cases where they absolutely insist they do not speak for him, while whispering things into his ear for pockets of gold.

What would his first move to redemption be?

A female PR expert writes: “Give money to charities that offer support to victims of domestic violence, which is what he should have done before he opened his stupid fat mouth in the first place.

Musk plainly doesn’t care what you think of him. He does care about sales though.

At the moment, he is in self-driving them off a cliff of his own making.
