Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?

    The politics of the CEO is not a factor I generally consider when buying products.

      Apparently this is a hot take? Do you guys do months of research before buying a loaf of bread?

        That’s kind of the problem, you don’t have to do any research to know Musk’s politics and why he’s a shithead. He makes sure everyone knows it.

        It’s one thing to have a political opinion, it’s a whole other thing when you spend 40 billion dollars to make damn well sure everyone knows what it is.

        I mean most CEOs don’t buy social media companies to force their shit takes in front of everyone

          No they are usually much smarter about getting the policy changes they want.
