German Minister Jörg Steinbach values Elon Musk and Tesla's Gigafactory in Brandenburg despite political disagreements.
Steinbach has argued with Musk and wouldn't congratulate him on a Trump victory, but still values him as an investor, entrepreneur, and innovator.
Steinbach believes Musk will retreat from supporting Trump due to conflicting positions on climate protection and bureaucracy.
Despite potential impact on Tesla sales in Germany, Steinbach expects the Gigafactory to have a positive impact on sustainable transportation and the country's automotive industry.
