Conclusions:

Our findings illustrate how political identity shapes consumption.

After Musk’s endorsement of the AfD, buying a Tesla meant something different as before and this is reflected in consumption choices.

Other EV brands showed no comparable change, confirming the response was unique to Tesla and driven by Musk’s political endorsement rather than market-wide factors.

📈 Key finding:

Tesla registrations increased by up to 30% in regions with strong AfD support but declined where Green Party support was higher. This increase corresponds to roughly two additional cars per month in AfD-strong areas.

We use district-level vehicle registration data and an event study design to measure how Tesla sales evolved before and after Musk’s endorsement in German regions with different political ideologies.

We analyze data on over 1,600 pastors -looking at their education and job histories- to map out social ties between cities.

Cities connected by a pastor were 46–63% more likely to have protests in a given week.

This highlights how local leaders and their networks can enable collective action.
