Musk has been using his money to influence politics (including in the US, accross the board). Buying a Tesla is giving him money and thus supporting that behavior. It seems obvious to me (a European living in the US) that, if you disagree with his politics, you should not buy his cars. This also apply to people living in the US but, having seen a strongly pro choice north Californian friend buy a Tesla recently, I do not know if US citizens think in those terms.


depends on who: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/1hk3mmv/xpost_...

this is a very well known local meme which has been posted around the city. most people here get the reference and it gets called back about half the time i see a cybertruck in company


tesla stock price is so divorced from actual car sales it's debatable how much buying one or not actually impacts the company.

not saying you should buy one, mind you. just that the stock and his ability to support his behavior are divorced from sales
