Tesla is no longer the #1 EV company in the world, BYD is.

But Elon Musk is still the richest man in the world!



"Tesla said that it delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, down 9% from a year earlier.

Chinese rival BYD, which sold 2.26 million vehicles last year, is now the biggest EV maker."

A lot of this is down to Trump's tariffs. China recently announced a global trade surplus of 1 TRILLION DOLLARS, the biggest trade surplus in history and that was just the first 11 months of 2025

What they lost in trade with the USA due to the tariffs, they more than made up for with new trade deals with other countries. More and more countries are seeing China as a more reliable trading partner than the USA right now.

" Tesla dominated the electric vehicle industry by the mid-2010s with sleek, fast cars that helped combat the public perception that EVs were severely limited by short ranges.

Now the company – and its controversial CEO, Elon Musk – face stiffer competition and political headwinds. Its EV sales fell by a record 9% in 2025, amid increasing rivalry from China and the expiration of the US EV sales tax credit.

But Musk has been steering the company toward an audacious bet. He believes Tesla’s future won’t ride on cars but on humanoid robots.

On Tesla’s earnings call on Wednesday, Musk laid out a literal replacement of Tesla cars by robots – announcing Tesla would discontinue the Model S and Model X in favor of making more of its Optimus robots. "
