I think there’s a bit of a real anti-musk sentiment that is partially real and fair and partially extremely overblown.
Musk isn’t a great guy, but I can’t say I know a single billionaire that is. I have many friends who own Teslas and by all accounts they’re great cars, I just went and checked out a new Model X my friend purchased and it looks great, feels great, sounds great and is arguebly better for the environment then most ICE cars. I wanted a Tesla for a long time too because it was the only viable option for quite a while and without a doubt pushed other companies to try and catch up, which is a good thing without a sliver of a doubt it my mind.
I don’t know if I’d say Musk is a Nazi, but he definitely says some idiotic shit and outright lies for his own gain, but again that’s certainly not a Musk-specific problem. We had fucking Donald Trump as president.

They’ve already been hurt from certain antics.
Tesla had a 28% favorable view in January 2022.
It was 13% in January 2023.
