I wanted a Tesla, but I couldn’t inage buying one with Musk as CEO.

I know that the plural of "anecdote" isn't "data", but ... I ended up with a Polestar because I got a fantastic lease deal but my wife literally wouldn't countenance buying a Tesla because of Musk.

Yeah. Ten years ago it was the cool, new brand. Now it's what you buy when you want to rep an insane drug addict transphobe's fall from grace.

I'm looking to buy a Hyundai later this year.

Drug addict? You mean his ketamine for depression?

And when you buy a car are you "representing" the CEO's views?

What are the CEO of Hyundai's personal beliefs? Do you even know?

The CEO of Hyundai hasn't bought a media company to put his mistaken beliefs and bad habits in front of millions of people.

Unlike Musk, the CEO of Hyundai doesn't go out of their way to make sure I'm aware of their opinions. I don't even know the name of Hyundai's CEO, and we bought an Ioniq 5 last year. One might argue such a dichotomy is one of the reasons we didn't buy a Tesla (well, that and the crap build quality).

I think that's the point?
