Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Monday hit back against concerns that his political activism has negatively affected the Tesla brand.

Product >> Brand

Quoting a post by user James Stephenson on X, who hailed the Tesla Model Y’s position as the best-selling EV across multiple markets, Musk seemingly reaffirmed the EV giant’s position in the global market. “Product >> Brand,” Musk said in the post.

Something went wrong.

The Model Y has repeatedly topped sales charts, with the crossover SUV emerging as the best-selling car globally in 2023, 2024 and 2025, as well as being the best-selling EV in the U.S. and in California during the first quarter of 2026.
