'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement (www.rawstory.com)

But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?

I’m a Democrat and a Tesla owner. No way in Hell will I buy another Tesla as long as Musk is involved in any way with the company. It would actually take a significant overhaul of both the company and their cars to convince me to buy another one.

I would sell it before Musk decides to find a list of all democratic supporters and start screwing up their cars out of pettyness. And let's not even pretend for one second the man child wouldn't do that.

Or release real-time, geographic info on democrat Tesla drivers to right-wing militia groups to take care of. I don't think he'd just let shit go. Look at the Elon plane account for a digital representation.

Same here. Technologically they're being surpassed and quality wise, well from what I can tell from looking at these newer model 3's that people at work have been buying, has not improved at all. Plus being a absolute public fascist? Yeah, I'll buy my next EV from another manufacturer thanks.
