@burger_jaap@mastodon.socialLate in 2024, Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland. We document that after this, Tesla sales rose by up to 30 percent in right-leaning districts relative to left-leaning ones [..] Divestment in second-hand markets shows no partisan differences, consistent with resale requiring a larger identity cost from Tesla’s image shock than non-purchase. Our lower bound-estimate for the overall loss in Tesla sales is [..] worth at least €241 million."

It's an expertly crafted book that, while sympathetic to the famously cantankerous Creighton, doesn't pull its punches. It tells us much about how the academic discipline of history developed alongside a certain strain of conservative nationalism through the middle decades of 20th-century Canada.
